Multiply on own
VIRAL REPRODUCTION
SAMPLE QUESTION:Question #1:
The viruses that cause influenza tend to change over time, necessitating the development of new flu vaccines. Changes in the characteristics of the viruses are caused by changes in which structure?
A. ribosomesB. nucleic acidsC. the cell membraneD. the rough endoplasmic reticulum
Question #2:
How should drawings of a cell & a virus differ?A. only the virus would have ciliaB. only the virus should have a nucleusC. only the cell should have organellesD. only the cell should have genetic material

SPECIALIZED CELLS IN PLANTS
SPECIALIZED CELLS IN ANIMALS
SAMPLE QUESTION:Question #1:Vascular plants transport nutrients through specialized structures called xylem & phloem. What is the purpose of xylem?
A. they take water & nutrients from the soilB. they allow water & nutrients to move from the root
through the plantC. they capture the sun’s energy to make sugarD. they move sugars & other nutrients from the leaves to
the rootsQuestion #2:The cells of skeletal muscle are long & cylindrical. Red blood cells are small & round. Which statement best explains why the two types of cells have different structures?
A. The blood cells erode as they move through the body.B. The muscles are stretched each time they contract.C. The blood cells & muscle cells are both shaped to suit
their function.D. The blood cells & muscle cells are made in different
parts of the body.
CELL DIFFERENTIATION
SAMPLE QUESTION:Question #1:

A. meiosisB. photosynthesisC. selective expression of genetic
materialD. the effect of environmental
conditions on cellular respiration
SAMPLE QUESTION:Question #2:

A. DNA provides instructions for constructing the needed proteins.
B. Enzymes control how proteins are assembled & constructed.
C. Hormones provide the information to change protein function.
D. Cell nuclei assemble & then give instructions to construct proteins.
CELL CYCLE DISRUPTIONS CAN LEAD TO CANCER
