Sample Biology EOCT Questions 1. Viruses are exceptions to the cell theory, but they have some characteristics of living things. What is one of these characteristics? A. B. C. D. They are made up of many specialized cells. They contain genetic material. They reproduce by mitosis. They contain chlorophyll. 2. Which formula represents an organic compound? A. B. C. D. Mg(OH)2 NaCl C12H22O11 NH3 3. Which is an organic compound found in most cells? A. B. C. D. glucose water sodium chloride oxygen gas 4. Which are the four most abundant elements in living cells? A. B. C. D. carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen carbon, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus carbon, sulfur, hydrogen, magnesium 5. Which pair of compounds can be classified as inorganic? A. nucleic acids and minerals B. proteins and water C. water and salts 5. An organelle differs from an organ in that an organelle A. B. C. D. is a substructure of a cell contains one specific type of tissue is larger than an organ cannot be stained 6. Which diagram represents an organelle that contains the enzymes needed to synthesize ATP in the presence of oxygen? A. B. C. D. 1 2 3 4 7. Which structure includes all of the others? A. B. C. D. nucleolus nucleus chromosomes genes 8. Most cell membranes are composed principally of A. B. C. D. DNA and ATP proteins and lipids chitin and starch nucleotides and amino acids 9. Which structure is usually present only in animal cells? A. B. C. D. vacuole cell wall nucleus centriole 10. Normally, in the process of osmosis, the net flow of water molecules into or out of the cell depends upon differences in the A. B. C. D. concentration of water molecules inside and outside the cell concentration of enzymes on either side of the cell membrane rate of molecular motion on either side of the cell membrane rate of movement of insoluble molecules inside the cell 11. Sodium ions are "pumped" from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration in the nerve cells of humans. This process is an example of A. B. C. D. diffusion passive transport osmosis active transport 12. Locomotive structures found in some protists include A. B. C. D. muscles flagella tentacles contractile vacuoles 13. Molecules that are too large to pass through the pores of a cell membrane may enter the cell by a process known as A. B. C. D. hydrolysis pinocytosis cyclosis synthesis 14. A molecule of DNA is a polymer composed of A. B. C. D. glucose amino acids fatty acids nucleotides 15. The presence of DNA is important for cellular metabolic activities because DNA A. B. C. D. directs the production of enzymes is a structural component of cell walls directly increases the solubility of nutrients is the major component of cytoplasm 16. Which nitrogenous bases make up DNA nucleotides? A. adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine B. adenine, uracil, guanine and cytosine C. adenine, thymine, uracil, and cytosine D. adenine, thymine, guanine, and uracil 17. Proteins are made from amino acids by the process of A. B. C. D. hydrolysis pinocytosis active transport dehydration synthesis 18. The spotted touch-me-not, a flowering plant, has seed pods that burst open when touched and forcefully eject their seeds. Such an adaptation is favorable because it A. B. C. D. aids in the dispersal of the species. attracts insects that aid in pollination. prevents germination within the seed pod. can cause genetic changes to occur. 19. According to Darwin's theory of evolution, differences between species may be the result of A. B. C. D. the disuse of body structures the transmission of acquired characteristics natural selection mutagenic agents 20. Two nucleotide sequences found in two different species are almost exactly the same. This suggests that these species A. B. C. D. are evolving into the same species contain identical DNA may have similar evolutionary histories have the same number of mutations 21. The theory that evolutionary change is slow and continuous is known as A. B. C. D. punctuated equilibrium geographic isolation speciation gradualism 22. The concept that species have changed over long periods of time is known as A. B. C. D. ecology embryology spontaneous generation organic evolution 23. The study of homologous structures in mature organisms provides evidence for the evolutionary relationships among certain groups of organisms. Which field of study includes this evidence of evolution? A. B. C. D. comparative cytology biochemistry geology comparative anatomy 24. Darwin's theory of evolution is based on the concept of A. B. C. D. use and disuse mutations natural selection hybridization 25. The structural similarities between the flippers of whales and the arms of humans are used to show that the A. B. C. D. human species began life in the oceans human species and whales have a common ancestry whales are older than the human species whales evolved from the human species 26.
