Question 1 (Mandatory) (1 point)

A ________ cell contains a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles.

Question 1 options:

eukaryotic

prokaryotic

virus

prion

Question 2 (Mandatory) (1 point)

A(n) ________ allows some substances to move freely into and out of a cell by simple diffusion while it will always exclude some substances from crossing. However, some substances that cannot cross by simple diffusion can pass through with the help of either active or passive transport proteins.

Question 2 options:

impermeable membrane

cytoskeleton

selectively permeable membrane

cytosol

Question 3 (Mandatory) (1 point)

Examine the following figure. If each sugar molecule represents a percentage point of sugar dissolved in the solution, what change would you expect to see in the solution level over time?

Question 3 options:

The solution level on the right side of the figure would rise while the solution level on the left side of the figure would decrease.

The solution level on the left side of the figure would increase while the solution level on the right side of the figure would also rise.

The solution level on the right side of the figure would decrease while the solution level on the left side of the figure would rise.

There will be no net movement of water; neither side will rise or decrease.

Question 4 (Mandatory) (1 point)

Examine the following figure. Why did the solution level on the left rise while the solution level on the right decreased?

Question 4 options:

The solution on the left was hypotonic to the solution on the right. Therefore, the water moved by osmosis across the membrane from right to left along the water concentration gradient.

The solution on the left was hypertonic to the solution on the right. Therefore, the water moved by osmosis across the membrane from right to left along the water concentration gradient.

The solutions are isotonic to each other. Therefore, the water moved by osmosis from right to left along the concentration gradient.

The solution on the right was hypotonic to the solution on the left. Therefore, the water moved by osmosis across the membrane from right to left along the water concentration gradient.

Question 5 (Mandatory) (1 point)

Molecules sometimes move across a plasma membrane by passing through channel proteins or with the help of carrier proteins. If no energy is used by the cell during this process, the process is called

Question 5 options:

osmosis.

simple diffusion.

facilitated diffusion.

active transport.

Question 6 (Mandatory) (1 point)

Small, noncellular infectious agents that are only capable of reproducing when inside a living cell are called

Question 6 options:

bacteria.

viruses.

protozoans.

animal cells.

Question 7 (Mandatory) (1 point)

The ________ is a phospholipid bilayer that separates the internal components of a living cell from the cell’s external environment.

Question 7 options:

mitochondrium

chloroplast

nuclear envelope

plasma membrane

Question 8 (Mandatory) (1 point)

The ________ is extremely important because it is where the cell uses energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide from the air, and water to produce simple sugars that are used to build complex carbohydrates. Oxygen is produced as a byproduct. This process is known as photosynthesis.

Question 8 options:

large central vacuole

cytoskeleton

chloroplast

mitochondria

Question 9 (Mandatory) (1 point)

Question 9 options:

nucleus

endoplasmic reticulum

lysosome

Golgi apparatus

Question 10 options:

simple diffusion

osmosis

facilitated diffusion
