When a sea urchin egg is removed from the ocean and placed in freshwater, the egg swells and bursts. Which of these causes water to enter the egg?

F CoagulationG Sodium pumpH Active transportJ Osmosis 34

Osmosis is the movement of water through a membrane from cleaner “high concentration” to less clean “lower concentration”.

Ocean water (because of its salt) is the lower concentration.

Freshwater (less salt) is the high concentration.

4. Histamine is a polar chemical that can lead to an allergic response when it is released by the body’s immune system. An antihistamine is a drug that can help prevent the allergic reactions associated with histamine. An antihistamine is a similar molecule to histamine in size, shape, and polarity. How does an antihistamine most likely prevent the effects of histamine?

A It increases the diffusion of histamine across the membranes of target cells.

B It binds to histamine receptors on the surfaces of target cells.C It causes target cells to increase production of histamine receptors.D It blocks histamine receptors found in the cytoplasm of target cells.

Which would most likely cause the liquid in Tube A to rise?F Starch concentrations being equal on each side of the membraneG Water passing from a region of lower starch concentration to one of higher starch concentrationH Water and starch volumes being the sameJ Solute in the tubes changing from a higher temperature to a lower temperature

14

Osmosis is when ‘cleaner water’ (in this case ‘distilled’) wants to go through a membrane to ‘less clean water’ (in this case, ‘starchy’).Tube B water goes through the Dialysis membrane toward the Tube A.Water goes from high concentration to low concentration. Or if you want to look at it from the solute point of view…the water goes from ‘less solute solution’ to ‘more solute solution.’

Starch is a solute.

The solute (starch) doesn’t go through this membrane.

Energy conversion within an animal cell would be severely limited by removal of thecell’s —A mitochondriaB chloroplastsC plastidsD lysosomes

27

Mitochondria use oxygen and sugar to recharge ADP’s into ATP’s (cell energy source.)

Animal cells don’t have chloroplasts. Plants do.

Animal cells don’t have plastids (for photosynthesis.)

Lysosomes help with digestion of food & recycling.

Why are photosynthesis and cellular respiration often considered opposites?F Photosynthesis produces twice as many ATP molecules as cellular respirationdoes.G Water is released during photosynthesis and consumed during cellular respiration.H Photosynthesis occurs during the day, and cellular respiration occurs at night.J Oxygen is produced during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration.
