1.
The cell theory explains many observations made by scientists beginning in the
1660’s. Before the cell theory was developed, people thought that dead or nonliving material would spontaneously produce living organisms. Which of the
following most supported the development of the cell theory?
A.
B.
C.
D.
2.
Schleiden and Schwann were biologists whose observations led to the first
statements of the cell theory. They proposed that all living organisms are made
up of cells, and, that cells are the basic unit of life. Several years later, other
biologists discovered that cells divide. Which statement of the cell theory was
developed from this discovery?
A.
B.
C.
D.
3.
Only plant and animal cells divide.
Cells only divide in young organisms.
New cells are produced from existing cells.
New cells are produced from non living matter.
There are two major types of cells, prokaryotes and eukaryotes. These types of
cells range in size, shape, and function. What is the major difference between
prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
A.
B.
C.
D.
4.
Darwin’s observations of variations in birds
Pasteur’s discovery that bacteria caused disease
Chamberland’s invention of a filter to remove bacteria from a solution
Redi’s experiment with decaying meat in covered and uncovered jars
Prokaryotes contain DNA but eukaryotes do not.
Eukaryotes contain DNA but prokaryotes do not.
Prokaryotes contain a nucleus but eukaryotes do not.
Eukaryotes contain a nucleus but prokaryotes do not.
Plant and animal cells are alike in having a nucleus, cytoplasm, and a cell
membrane. However, some structures in plant cells differ from those in animal
cells. Which of the following are found only in plant cells?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Cell walls and ribosomes
Chloroplasts and cell walls
Cell walls and mitochondria

The process of osmosis allows water to diffuse through a selectively permeable
membrane. Osmosis occurs when there is a different concentration of solute
molecules on each side of the membrane. The drawing below shows a beaker
containing a 30% salt solution. A plastic bag containing a 10% salt solution is
hanging down into the solution in the beaker.
10% salt solution
30% salt solution
What will happen to the bag after about twenty minutes?
6.
A.
Water will move from the 30% salt solution into the bag.
B.
Water will move from the bag into the 30% salt solution.
C.
Salt will move from the bag into the 30% salt solution.
D.
Salt will move from the 30% salt solution into the bag.
Look at the diagram of a cross-section of a cell membrane below.
protein
lipids
ion
The protein moves small molecules and ions across the cell membrane. For
example, ions are moved from the side where there are few ions to the side
where there are more ions. Which best describes this process of moving ions
against a concentration difference?
A.
B.
C.
D.
active transport requiring energy
active transport not requiring energy
facilitated diffusion requiring energy
facilitated diffusion not requiring energy

Sally wanted to eat her left-over salad for dinner. However, she noticed that the
lettuce was wilted. Sally learned in her biology class that this was due to the salt
and other dissolved solids in the salad dressing. Why does leaving salad
dressing on lettuce cause it to wilt?
A.
B.
C.
D.

Mr. Jones has run out of dialysis tubing but would like his students to model the
permeability of cells. He asks students to design an experiment to test which
brand of plastic sandwich bags will allow molecules to pass through. Mr. Jones
gives the students a list of available supplies which includes: starch, iodine,
water, glassware, and 3 different brands of sandwich bags. What is the
independent variable in the experiment?
A.
B.
C.
D.
9.
Water
Iodine
Starch
Sandwich bags
After puberty in females, several follicles in the ovary begin to grow each month.
Usually only one follicle matures and releases an egg cell. What is the correct
path of the egg cell after it leaves the ovary?
A.
B.
C.
D.
10.
There is a loss of water from the lettuce.
There is an increase of water into the lettuce.
There is no movement of water in the lettuce.
There is balanced intake and loss of water in the lettuce.

Fallopian tube to vas deferens
During human development, the fertilized egg divides into many cells. These
cells become specialized and develop into an embryo. Cells in the embryo
continue to divide, becoming a fetus. Many changes occur in the fetus during
pregnancy. What are the main developments during the third trimester of
pregnancy?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Hands, feet, eyes and ears are developing.
Most of the organs are forming and the heat begins to beat.
The fetus doubles in mass and the lungs are fully developed.
The umbilical cord forms and eyes and eye lids are developing.
