A saltwater plant is placed in freshwater. How will the water molecules move and how will it affect the cell size?

The water will enter the cell and the cell will swell or increase in size.

300

What are three parts of the cell that both eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells have in common?

Ribosomes, cell membrane, and DNA

300

In a certain ecosystem, rattlesnakes are predators of prairie dogs. If the prairie dog population started to increase, how would the ecosystem most likely regain stability?

The rattlesnake population would increase

300

What are the three components of a nucleotide? (100pts each)

Sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous base

300

During protein synthesis, mRNA leaves the nucleus and travels towards the ribosome to go through what process?

Translation

400

Name and write the equations for the processes that occur in the mitochondria and chloroplast. 

(200 pts each)

Extra 50pts if you explain the relationship between the two equations.

Cellular Respiration (aerobic)

Oxygen + Sugar --> Energy (ATP) + CO2 + Water

Photosynthesis

Water + Energy (solar) + CO2 --> Oxygen + Sugar

The numbers shown represent the number of chromosomes present in the nucleus of each cell at the start and end of the process. This process can be used to illustrate:

A) human tissue repair and growth      

B) meiosis     

C) genetic recombination        

D) sexual reproduction

A) human tissue repair and growth

Monosaccharides

400

Where does each step of protein synthesis take place?

Transcription takes place in the nucleus

Translation takes place in the cytoplasm at a ribosome.

500

1. Amino acids

2. Peptide bonds

500

Why do we call it a frameshift mutation?

Because all of the codons shift after the insertion or deletion of the nitrogenous base
