If this same chromatogram were set up and run for twice as long, the Rf values would be twice as great for each pigment.

54 144. If a different solvent were used for the chlorophyll chromatography as performed in lab, what results would you expect? a. The distances traveled by each pigment will be different, but the Rf values will stay the same. b. The relative position of the bands will be different. c. The results will be the same if the time is held constant. d. The Rf values of some pigments might exceed 1.0. 145. What is the Rf value for carotene calculated from the chromatogram below?                                1.09 0.17 0.96 0.33 e

55 d. The blank was not properly used to calibrate the spectrophotometer.
146. Which graph would be the most likely result of performing the photosynthesis experiment using fresh chloroplasts placed in light and DPIP?                                                                                         a. A b. B c. C d. D e. E 147. What is the best explanation for graph B?                                                                                         The DPIP was too pale at the beginning of the experiment. The chloroplast solution was too concentrated. c. The experimenter used chloroplasts that were damaged and could not respond to light. d. The blank was not properly used to calibrate the spectrophotometer.

56 148. What is the role of DPIP in the photosynthesis experiment
It mimics the action of chlorophyll b by absorbing light energy. It serves as an electron donor and blocks the formation of NADPH. It is an electron acceptor and is reduced by electrons from chlorophyll. It is bleached in the presence of light and can be used to measure light levels. e. It acts in the same way water does in non-cyclic photophosphorylation. 149. Some students were not able to get many data points in the photosynthesis experiment because the solution went from blue to colorless in only 5 minutes for the unboiled chloroplasts exposed to light. What modification to the experiment do you think would be most likely to provide better results? a. Increase the number of chloroplasts used from 3 to 5. b. Increase the volume of DPIP since the initial concentration may be too dilute. c. Modify the blank (cuvette used to calibrate the spectrophotometer) so that the initial transmittance is higher. d. Use fresher spinach to prepare the chloroplast suspension. e. Change the wavelength at which readings are taken.

57 150. Which of the following conclusions is supported by the data?
The rate of respiration is higher in nongerminating seeds than in germinating seeds b. Nongerminating peas are not alive, and show no difference in rate of respiration at different temperatures. c. The rate of respiration in the germinating seeds would have been higher if the experiment were conducted in sunlight. d. The rate of respiration increases as the temperature increases in both germinating and nongerminating seeds. e. The amount of oxygen consumed could be increased if pea seeds were substituted for corn seeds. The rate of respiration increases as the temperature increases in both germinating and nongerminating seeds.

58 151. What is the role of KOH in the respiration lab?
a. It serves as an electron donor to promote cellular respiration. b. As KOH breaks down, the oxygen needed for cellular respiration is released. c. It serves as a temporary energy source for the respiring organism. d. It binds with carbon dioxide to form a solid, preventing CO2 production from affecting gas volume. e. Its attraction for water will cause water to enter the respirometer.

59 a. 1 b. 2 c. 3 d. 4 e. 5 152. Which line indicates a guard cell?
153. What tissue is indicated by label line 1?                                   Phloem Epidermis Xylem Mesophyll e. Endodermis

60 154. All of the following enhance water transport in terrestrial plants EXCEPT:
a. Hydrogen bonds linking water molecules b. Capillary action due to adhesion of water molecules to the walls of xylem c. Evaporation of water from the leaves. d. K+ being transported out of the guard cells 155. Under conditions of bright light, in which part of a transpiring plant would water potential be lowest? a. Xylem vessels in the leaves. b. Xylem vessels in the roots. c. Root hairs d. Spongy mesophyll of the leaves e. Xylem vessels in the stems. What type of environment would result in the greatest rate of transpiration. a. Cloudy, humid conditions. b. Warm, humid conditions. c. Warm, light, breezy conditions. d. Cool, humid conditions

61 157. What is the function of tissue “D”?
a. Storage of food b. Protection c. Water transport d. Food transport What tissue is indicated by letter “C”? Xylem b. Phloem c. Epidermis d. Pith e. Endodermis This is a cross section of…? a. Monocot stem b. Dicot stem c. Leaf d. Root e. Flower

62 160. Which of the following organisms would show the greatest fluctuation in body temperature hour by hour? a. Dolphin b. Mouse c. Rattlesnake d. Bat e. Human What is the relationship between metabolic rate and body temperature in Daphnia? a. As the body temperature increases, the metabolic rate decreases. b. An increase of 10C results in a doubling of metabolic rate. c. Heart rate increases as body temperature decreases. d. Cellular enzymes are less active at 35C than at 20C, resulting in decreased metabolic rate.

63 162. A student wanted to study the effect of nitrogen fertilizer on plant growth, so she took two similar plants and set them on a window sill for a two-week observation period. She watered each plant the same amount, but she gave one a small dose of fertilizer with each watering. She collected data by counting the total number of new leaves on each plant and also measured the height of each plant in centimeters. Which of the following is a significant flaw in this experimental set-up? There is no independent variable. There is no control group. There is no repetition in replicating the experiment. Measurable results cannot be expected. It will take too many days for data collection. Which of the following hypotheses is best stated? If pillbugs are allowed free movement, then more will be found in a moist environment than in a dry environment. b. If pillbugs like a moist environment, then they will move to the wet side of a choice chamber. c. If an experiment with pillbugs is run for 10 minutes, then more pillbugs will be found in the most favorable environment. d. Pillbugs are found in moist habitats, so I predict that more will be found where it is wet.
