What is a control group?
The control group is the group that does not get the experimental (independent) variable. They are "unaffected" and used to compare experimental finding back to.

The diagram below is of a human cheek cell.
Select one of the lettered parts from the diagram and record the letter of the part chosen. Using or more complete sentences, state a function of the part.
A. Cell membrane - It regulates the transport of materials into and out of the cell;
B. Nucleus - It controls the activities of the cell;
C. Cytoplasm - It provides a fluid like environment in which organelles are suspended and within which many biochemical processes occur.
600
Using information from the diagram, state one reason why the movement of molecules in method C represents active transport.
C shows the transport of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration. — The molecules are moving against the concentration gradient.

Lipids - Fatty acid and glycerol
Carbohydrates - simple sugars (monosaccharides)
Nucleic Acids - Nucleotides

State which cell type would probably be most affected by mitochondrial diseases. Support your answer.
Liver cells may be most affected since they contain the most mitochondria.

Two skin cells from the same animal were each placed in a different solution. The diagrams below represent the changes that occurred in each cell after 5 minutes in each solution. Which cell was placed in a solution containing a higher concentration of salt than the concentration of salt normally found in these skin cells? Support your answer.
B - When cells are placed in a high salt concentration solution, they lose water and shrink.
