What is the main difference between anaerobic cellular respiration and aerobic cellular respiration?

A. Aerobic cellular respiration requires water.B. Anaerobic cellular respiration requires water.C. Aerobic cellular respiration produces more energy.D. Anaerobic cellular respiration produces more energy.

What is the end result of diffusion across a cell’s membrane?

A. higher concentrations of the solute on the outside of a cell than the insideB. higher concentrations of the solute on the inside of the cell than the outsideC. equal concentrations of water on both the inside and outside of the cellD. equal concentrations of the solute on both the inside and outside of a cell

Endocrine glands release chemicals (hormones) in one part of an organism that affect another part of the organism. What causes the release of hormones by the endocrine system?

A. increase in body temperatureB. change in homeostasisC. mitotic cell divisionD. genetic manipulation of cells

Which are three ways the body maintains temperature homeostasis?

A. by panting, shivering, and sleepingB. by growing hair, shivering, and sleepingC. by breathing, expansion of blood vessels, and sweatingD. by expansion of blood vessels, shivering, and sweating

Which process explains the diffusion of substances across permeable membranes without any energy being expended?

A. active transportB. facilitated diffusionC. passive transportD. selective permeability

How does homeostasis maintain water balance in an animal?

A. The hypothalamus releases a hormone to the liver to slow down water removal from the blood.B. The pituitary gland releases a hormone to the liver, which causes less water to be absorbed from the nephrons. C. The pituitary gland releases a hormone to the kidneys, which causes more water to be reabsorbed from the nephrons.D. The hypothalamus increases water available to the body, and the pituitary gland decreases the amount of water available to the body.

What is the basic function of adenosine triphosphate?

A. It carries energy within the cell.B. It transports water through the process of osmosis.C. It uses carbon dioxide and water to photosynthesize.D. It transports material across a selectively permeable membrane.

A cell is placed into a salt solution. The salt concentration is greater in the solution than inside the cell. Which best describes what will most likely happen?

A. Water will flow into the cell by active transport.B. Water will flow into the cell by passive transport.C. Water will flow out of the cell by active transport.D. Water will flow out of the cell by passive transport.

Which explains how ATP is made in a cell?

A. The sodium potassium pump creates ATP in the cell.B. Coupled channels carry ADP into the cell to form ATP.C. The proton pump causes the production of ATP from ADP in the cell.D. ATP uses facilitated diffusion to create energy in the cell.
