Lecture Exam #1
Bi 10, September 27, 2013
Agenda
•Administrative Stuff•Rules + Format•Multiple Choice Section•One-Word Answer Section• Free Response Section•Wrap-up
Rules and Format• Closed book, no collaboration• No talking or phone use –
talking/phone use/cheating is grounds for a zero grade
• Raise a hand and ask if you need clarification
• Answers will be on index cards. At the end of the test, put your cards in your envelope, seal it, and write your name on it.
Card Format• Write your name on your first
index card and number it from 1 to 20. You will be putting letters next to each number.
• Example: 1. A 2. B and C 3. C
etc.
Question 1Which of the following is/are
shared by all living organisms? Choose all that apply.
A) MitochondriaB) Cell wallsC) The electron transport chainD) Cell membranesE) DNA
Question 2During glycolysis, which of the
following does not occur?A) A six-carbon sugar is
broken into two three-carbon pieces.
B) ATP is converted into ADP.
C) Oxygen and hydrogen are converted into water.
D) ADP is converted into ATP.
E) NAD+ is converted into NADH.
Question 3Which of the following is NOT a
step of the scientific method? (Choose one:)
A) ObservationB) QuestionC) HypothesisD) DeductionE) Experiment
Question 4How many valence electrons does oxygen have?
A) 1B) 2C) 3D) 4E) 5F) 6G) 7H) 8
Question 5Most of the dry mass of this cactus
plant comes from… (choose only one)
A) Energy from the sun
B) Gas from the airC) Minerals from the
soilD) Organic nutrients
from the soil
Question 6Artificial respiration can be used to
help a patient’s cells get more oxygen. Would this cure victims of cyanide poisoning? Why or why not?A) Yes, because extra
oxygen would let their cells perform aerobic respiration normally.
B) Yes, because cyanide paralyzes the diaphragm.C) No, because cyanide prevents the electron transport chain from giving electrons to oxygen.
D) No, because cyanide only blocks glycolysis, which doesn’t need oxygen to harvest energy.
