A scientist hypothesized that oxygen atoms from both carbon dioxide and water are used to make glucose during photosynthesis. However, experimental results using oxygen isotopes showed that all of the oxygen from the water ended up in the oxygen molecules that were produced. None of the oxygen from water was found in glucose. What should the scientist do to best gain scientific understanding of this topic?

A
Analyze the results, and change the experimental methods to retest the hypotheses in a different way.
B
Discard the faulty results that do not support the original hypothesis, and repeat the experiment using the same methods.
C
Analyze the procedural errors that took place in the experiment, and summarize these in a conclusion statement.
D
Repeat the experiment and adjust new data to support the original hypothesis.

B
undergo meiosis.
C
become cancer cells.
D
produce two identical cells.
12

Which specialized cells are responsible for transmitting messages throughout the body?

A
neurons
B
epithelial cells
C
blood cells
D
muscle cells
13

Which correctly describes crossing over?

A
the process whereby non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material
B
the process whereby homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles of the cell
C
the process whereby sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles of the cell
D
the process whereby homologous chromosome pairs align randomly along the metaphase plate
14

Which process connects glycolysis and the citric acid cycle?

A
lactic acid formation
B
acetyl CoA formation
C
electron transport
D
Krebs cycle
15

The chemical reaction equation of photosynthesis is shown here:6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2What information is not given in this equation.

Question illustration
A
It does not show if the reaction is reversible
B
It does not show the reactants needed for the reaction
C
It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate steps.
D
It does not show the number of molecules required to produce glucose.

Each year, about 1.2 million cases of skin cancer are reported worldwide. An increased exposure to environmental conditions is a major link to the increase in cases. Based on this information, which is the best conclusion?

A
Limiting exposure to the sun may reduce the chance of skin cancer.
B
Limiting exposure to the sun may increase the chance of skin cancer.
C
Increasing exposure to the sun may reduce the chance of skin cancer.
D
Increasing exposure to the sun will not affect the chance of skin cancer.
17

Imagine that a disorder that causes the cell cycle to stop affects the muscle cells of a frog’s leg. What consequence is most likely to follow?

A
The frog will immediately not be able to use the muscle.
B
An injury to the muscle will not heal.
C
The frog will not be able to reproduce.
D
A broken bone in that leg will not mend.
18

How has the study of mitosis affected scientists’ knowledge of cancer?

A
It led to a study of how to induce cancer cells to divide more rapidly.
B
It led to an understanding of how cancer cells divide so rapidly.
C
It led to the development of contact-inhibition regulators.
D
It led to the discovery of how to prevent cancer cells from dividing.
19

After Frida stops exercising, she continues to breathe heavily. What is most likely occurring in her body?

A
Heavy breathing during exercise has produced an oxygen surplus in her muscles. This oxygen is being transported to her lungs. This is a result of aerobic respiration.
B
Heavy breathing during exercise has produced a carbon dioxide surplus in her muscles. Lactate is being transported to her liver. This is a result of aerobic respiration.
C
Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in carbon dioxide debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration.
D
Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in oxygen debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration.
20

How does interphase prepare cells for mitosis?

A
rest prior to cell division
B
growth of cell and replication of DNA
C
dissolution of nucleus and cell membrane
D
division of cytoplasm
