| Technology is the __________ | application of scientific knowledge for a practical purpose |
| Which statement is false concerning movement of molecules across the cell membrane? | Lipid molecules do not pass through easily |
| Tissues that produce large amounts of secretions, such as the gastric glands of the stomach, contain cells with large numbers of | golgi apparati |
| A membrane sac filled with large molecules of potassium is suspended in a beaker of water. What will happen? | Water will enter the sac and it will swell |

| A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will | gain water |
| Nutrient molcules are used as building blocked or for energy. This best represents which characteristic of life? | Living things acquire materials and energy from the environment |
| A student sitting on the back row oped a bottle of foul-smelling perfume and dabbed it on her wrists. One-by-one (beginning from the back of the room) the students began to cough due to the foul smell. This phenomena was due to | diffusion |

| Osmosis can occur when a membrane is | semipermeable |
| Cellular respiration is best associated with the | mitochondrian |
| You are conducting an experiment to determine what concentration of disinfectant is most effective in killing bacteria. In this example, the concentration of disinfectant would represent the | experimental variable |
| Which of the following types of lipid is the most abundant constituent of cell membranes? | phospholipid |
| Proteins do NOT pass through cell membranes because | they are very large molecules |
| The definition of osmosis is the | diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane |
| Nucleic acids are polymers of | Nucleotides |
| A membrane sac filled with large molecules of potassium is suspended in a beaker of water, What will happen? | Water will enter the sac and it will swell |

| Which statement is false regarding science? | Correct scientific conclusions are permanent and never subject to change or refinement |
| When an intestinal cell ingests substances inside very small vesicles that can only be seen with an electron microscope, this is | Pinocytosis |
| An isotonic solution means that the solute concentration outside the cell | is the same as inside the cell |
| Removal of the hydroxyl functional group would disrupt the structure of ___________ |
