Which of the following macromolecules are made from amino acids?
proteins
Question 3
What level of protein structure is associated with the sequence of amino
acids?
primary
Question 4

used as a source of energy
Question 5
Which of the following carbohydrates is used to store energy in animal cells?
cellulose
starch
hemi-cellulose
glycogen
LIPIDS
Question 6
What type of molecule is shown here?
lipid
nucleic acid
carbohydrate
protein
NUCLEIC ACIDS
Question 7
Where is most of the DNA found in the eukaryotic cell?
golgi
mitochondria
nucleus
ribosomes
DENATURATION
Question 8
Why does heating up a protein such as an enzyme cause it to lose function?
because it burns up
because it loses its shape
because it works best at low temperatures
because it shows they are contaminated
PHOSPHOLIPIDS
Question 9
What property of the phospholipid bilayer allows proteins to move laterally in
the membrane?
phospholipids and proteins are attracted to each other
phospholipid molecules are not covalently bonded to each other
phospholipids are attracted to each other by opposite charges
proteins attract each other with opposite charges
CELL MEMBRANES
Question 10
A set of erythrocytes is placed in a beaker of 0.9% NaCl. Nothing appears to
happen to the cells. Why?
0.9% NaCl is hypertonic to the cells.
0.9% NaCl is isotonic to the cells
0.9% NaCl is hypotonic to the cells
Sodium blocks the movement of water

Question 12
Which of the following does a prokaryotic cell have that an animal cell does
not?

ribosomes
vacuole
DNA
EUKARYOTES
Question 13
Which of the following is not a component of the endomembrane system?
mitochondria
Golgi apparatus
endoplasmic reticulum
lysosome
central vacuole
OSMOSIS & DIFFUSION
Question 14
If you place a dialysis tubing permeable only to water filled with 30% sucrose
solution into a beaker filled with a 10% solution of sucrose, what would you
expect?
water flows into the dialysis tubing
Question 15
What is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
called?
pinocytosis
facilitated diffusion
active transport
osmosis
phagocytosis
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
Question 16
Sodium ions are more highly concentrated outside the cell, in the
extracellular fluid. Which process would be used to return any sodium ions
that leaked into the cell back to the extracellular fluid?
osmosis
active transport
facilitated diffusion
simple diffusion
EUKARYOTIC ORGANELLES

directs the synthesis of ribosomes and proteins
organizing center of microtubules in animal cells
production of ATP, cellular respiration

Question 19
An ideal antibiotic damages only bacterial cells but not human cells. Which of
the following cellular structures would be a good target for antibiotics?
cell wall
Question 20
What is the concern with overuse of antibiotics?
the patient will become antibiotic resistant
viruses will become antibiotic resistant.
bacteria will become antibiotic resistant.
the antibiotics will degrade
