Q: Which of the following equations correctly represents the movement of water during osmosis?

$$\text{Water moves from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration across a semipermeable membrane}$$

Question 1

Which of the following best describes the primary function of the phospholipid bilayer in the plasma membrane?

Accepted Answer

It acts as a selective barrier, allowing certain substances to pass while blocking others.

Question 2

A red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic solution. What will most likely happen to the cell, and why?

Accepted Answer

The cell will swell and may burst because water moves in due to lower solute concentration outside.

Question 3

Which organelle is responsible for the synthesis of ATP through aerobic respiration, and what would be the consequence of its malfunction?

Accepted Answer

Mitochondrion; the cell would have reduced energy production.

Question 4

Which of the following best explains why facilitated diffusion does not require ATP?

Accepted Answer

It uses carrier proteins to move substances down their concentration gradient.

Question 5

During which phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur, and which enzyme is primarily responsible for this process?

Accepted Answer

S phase; DNA polymerase

Question 6

Which of the following is a function of membrane proteins?

Accepted Answer

Acting as receptors, channels, and enzymes

Question 7

A cell is observed to engulf a bacterium by extending its membrane around it. Which process is being described, and what is a key feature of this process?

Accepted Answer

Phagocytosis; formation of pseudopodia

Question 8

Which statement best distinguishes between chromatin and chromosomes?

Accepted Answer

Chromatin is loosely organized DNA in non-dividing cells, while chromosomes are tightly coiled DNA during cell division.

Question 9

Which of the following best describes the role of the nucleolus?

Accepted Answer

It assembles ribosomal RNA and ribosome subunits.

Question 10

Which of the following equations correctly represents the movement of water during osmosis?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{Water moves from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration across a semipermeable membrane}$$

Question 11

Which of the following best describes the difference between active and passive transport?

Accepted Answer

Active transport requires ATP and can move substances against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require ATP and moves substances down their concentration gradient.

Question 12

A mutation in the gene encoding a lysosomal enzyme leads to accumulation of undigested material in cells. Which disease mechanism does this illustrate?

Accepted Answer

Impaired cellular digestion and recycling

Question 13

Which of the following best explains why liver cells and nerve cells have different appearances and functions despite having the same DNA?

Accepted Answer

They express different sets of genes due to cellular differentiation.

Question 14

Which of the following is NOT a function of the cytoskeleton?

Accepted Answer

Synthesizing proteins

Question 15

Which process is responsible for the bulk transport of large particles into the cell and always requires ATP?

Accepted Answer

Endocytosis

Question 16

Which of the following best describes the sequence of events in mitosis?

Accepted Answer

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Question 17

Which of the following is a correct statement about the function of the Golgi apparatus?

Accepted Answer

It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Question 18

Which of the following best describes the role of cholesterol in the plasma membrane?

Accepted Answer

It stabilizes membrane fluidity and structure.

Question 19

Which of the following is a real-life example of secondary active transport in human physiology?

Accepted Answer

Glucose absorption in the intestine coupled with sodium ion movement

Question 20

Which of the following best describes the function of microvilli on the surface of epithelial cells in the small intestine?

Accepted Answer

They increase surface area for absorption of nutrients.
