Question #19 Who was Rosalind Franklin and what did she contribute to our understanding of the cell? 1min

Question #20 The problem of Photorespiration is plants occurs because RuBP in the Calvin Cycle has a high affinity for fixing __________ instead of CO2, yielding a toxic waste product. 30sec

Answer #1 A Scanning Electron microscope scans the surface of a specimen with electrons that are then picked up by a detector; the Transmission Electron Microscope sends electrons through a thin specimen that is then picked up by a detector. 2pts

Answer #2 Eukaryotic Cells have membrane bound organelles; Prokaryotic cells do not have any organelle other than ribosomes. Eukaryotic Cells have a membrane bound nucleus with strings of DNA. Prokaryotic Cells have circular DNA that floats around in the Cytoplasm. Plants and Animals (many which are multicellular) are Eukaryotic while Bacteria and Archeabacteria (most of which are unicellular) are Prokaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are significantly smaller and less complex than Eukaryotic Cells. 3pts

Answer #3 Growth Reproduction Composed of Cells Irritability (response) Organic Molecules Death Organization Movement 3pts

Answer #4 Cell Walls Chloroplasts Storage Vacuole 2pts

Answer #5 Aerobic Respiration uses Oxygen while Anaerobic does not. Aerobic Resp. takes place in cytoplasm & mitochondria while Anaerobic Resp. takes place only in cytoplasm. Aerobic Respiration yield much more ATP than Anaerobic (36 vs. 2!!) 2pts

Answer #6 Have a Problem/Question Hypothesis Experiment Conclusion 4pts

Answer #7 Plant cells will expand against their cell walls and become turgid. Plants actually love a hypotonic environment. Animal cells will expand and potentially pop (Cytolysis) in a hypotonic environment. 2pts

Answer #8 One Atom will give one to two electrons to another atom to complete each valence shell. They will then be oppositely charged and attracted to each other. 1pts

Answer #9 The Flower reflects blue wavelengths of light. 1pt

Answer #10 The light reactions are carried out by the pigment molecule Chlorophyll. 1pt

Answer #11 Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a semipermeable membrane. 2pts

Answer #12 Every time energy is used or transferred a bit is lost as heat or light and becomes unusable (ENTROPY) 2pts

Answer #13 Carbon is abundant on Earth Carbon only has 4 valence electrons so can bond with up to 4 atoms at one time Carbon can easily make double & triple bonds Carbon easily bonds with itself 3pts

Answer #14 A Homogenous mixture has the same ratio throughout and a Heterogenous mixture does not. 2pts

Answer #15 Glycolysis can occur with or without O2. Glycolysis occurs in the Cytoplasm of a Cell. 2pts

Answer #16 Plants Algae Photosynthetic Bacteria (somewhat) 2pts

Answer #17 The Electron Transport Chain can yield up to 32 ATP 1pt

Answer #18 Catalyst. 1pt.

Answer #19 She discovered the structure of DNA using X-Ray Crystallography. 2pts

Answer #20 O 2 – Oxygen Gas 1pt
