Base your answers to questions 11 through 13 on the information and graphs below and on yourknowledge of biology. The graphs represent the results of two investigations using leaf disks fromspinach plants.

Small disks were cut from spinach leaves that had been treated to remove any air from insidethe leaf. The disks were placed in a solution that allowed them to carry out photosynthesis. Atfirst, all the disks sank to the bottom of the container. These disks were then used for two differentinvestigations.

Investigation 1

The disks were divided into five groups. Each group was exposed to light of a differentintensity, measured in watts per meter squared (W/m2). Some of the disks began to float. Theresults of the first investigation are shown in the graph below.

18. Base your answer to question on the information below and on your knowledge of biology.

Botulinum toxin is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It causes aserious form of food poisoning in humans. In a very dilute form, it is also commonly used toeliminate some signs of aging, such as wrinkles. It does this by preventing nerves from releasinga chemical messenger called acetylcholine into the synapse (space between a nerve cell and amuscle cell). The toxin affects the process that causes the muscle cell to contract and formwrinkles.

The diagram below represents a process that is involved in the formation of wrinkles. Complete thediagram by drawing an appropriate structure on the muscle cell membrane that would allow the nervecell to communicate with the muscle cell.

Base your answers to questions 90 through 92 on the illustration and information below and on yourknowledge of biology. The illustration is of a Tasmanian devil.

The Tasmanian devil is the largest surviving carnivorous marsupial in Australia. It is in dangerof extinction due to an unusual type of cancer called Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD). It canbe passed from one individual to another through wounds that occur when they fight over food.Tumor cells in the mouth of an infected animal break off and enter the wound on an uninfectedanimal. The tumor cells multiply in the body of the newly infected devil, forming new tumors thateventually kill the animal. Recent research has shown that the immune system of a Tasmanian devil accepts tumor cellsfrom another devil as if they were cells from its own body. The tumor cells are ignored by theimmune system. No immune response develops against them, and the cancerous cells multiply.Scientists predict that DFTD could wipe out all the remaining Tasmanian devils in 25 years,unless a treatment is developed.

90. Describe one possible way to maintain a population of healthy, uninfected Tasmanian devils until atreatment or cure can be found.

91. Explain how cancer cells differ from normal cells.

92. Using the terms antigens and antibodies, explain why the tumor cells are ignored by the immunesystem in Tasmanian devils.

93. Base your answer on the information below and on your knowledge of biology. Termites depend on microbes living in their guts to digest molecules of the large, complexcarbohydrate, cellulose. Cellulose is the part of wood termites feed on. The microbes produce asubstance called cellulase, which speeds up the breakdown of cellulose into molecules of glucose.Termites cannot make cellulase on their own. Without the help of the microbes, the termites arenot able to absorb the nutrients that they need to survive.

Explain why the microbes are necessary in order for the termites to absorb nutrients that they need tosurvive.

Base your answers to questions 100 through 103 on the information below and on your knowledge ofbiology.

The Control of Transpiration

Plants normally lose water from openings (stomates) in their leaves. The water loss typicallyoccurs during daylight hours when plants are exposed to the Sun. This water loss, known astranspiration, is both beneficial and harmful to plants. Scientists believe wind and high temperatures increase the rate of transpiration, but the size ofeach stomate opening can be regulated. Reducing the size of the openings during droughtconditions may help reduce the dehydration and wilting that would otherwise occur. A leaf may lose more than its own weight in water each day. Transpiration also lowers theinternal temperature of the leaf as water evaporates. On hot days, temperatures in the leaves maybe from 3° to 15°C cooler than the outside air. With stomates open, vital gases may be exchangedbetween the leaf tissues and the outside environment. Researchers have also found many plants that use another response when leaf temperaturesrise. Special molecules known as heat shock proteins are produced by plant cells and help to holdenzymes in their functional shapes.

100. Explain why it is important for plants to "hold enzymes in their functional shapes."

101. Identify the specific leaf structures that regulate the opening and closing of stomates.

Base your answers to questions 106 through 108 on the information below and on your knowledge ofbiology.

It has been discovered that plants utilize chemical signals for communication. Some of thesechemicals are released from leaves, fruits, and flowers and play various roles in plantdevelopment, survival, and gene expression. For example, bean plant leaves infested with spidermites release chemicals that result in an increase in the resistance to spider mites in uninfestedleaves on the same plant and the expression of self-defense genes in uninfested bean plants nearby.

Plants can also communicate with insects. For example, corn, cotton, and tobacco under attackby caterpillars release chemical signals that simultaneously attract parasitic wasps to destroy thecaterpillars and discourage moths from laying their eggs on the plants.

106. State two advantages of relying on chemicals released by plants rather than using manmadechemicals for insect control.
