Bio Lab Quiz Questions (Final ) Quiz answers

What is facilitated diffusion?

-Molecules that usually do not cross, are allowed entry through a special channel

What will happen to a cell if it plasmolysis? (hypertonic or hypotonic)

-When placed in a hypertonic solution, the net flow of water will be out of the cell and the cell will (plasmolyse), pulling away from its cell wall. -(hypotonic solution) The net movement of water will be into the cell, the vacuole will expand, and the cell will become turgid.

What is acidosis?

A buildup of Carbon dioxide, which causes pH to drop

A compound that can react as an acid or a base

What Piece of equipment is used to measure out accurate volumes of water?

How does an indicator change color depending on the pH?

An indicator is used to determine the amount of pH in a solution. Therefore pH causes changes in the molecular structure of the indicator.

Carotenoids (red, orange, yellow), Chlorophyll(green), carotenes (yellow & orange)

What are the two major types of types of chlorophyll? What are the roles?

Chlorophyll a- Initiates the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis Chlorophyll b- an accessory pigment that participates in photosynthesis

What were the dependent and independent variables that you plotted on the figure you made for the last lab report?

Dependent: Wavelength Independent:Absorbtion

If a metabolic rate is standardized. What is done to stardadize it?

Divide the amount of CO2 over time in hours by the mass of the organism in grams

The Lever used to adjust the amount of light coming up through the stage is called?

In a chemical reaction, what is the "energy of activation?"

The amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction

What is Respiration? 5D&E

The process of breaking down complex molecules to simpler ones (catabolism) and converting the chemical energy released into another form of chemical energy-atp

Why would you measure the rate of CO2 production to determine the rate of fermentation?

The rate of CO2 production is directly proportional to the rate of fermentation *Therefore if you have a high rate CO2 , you will also have a high rate of fermentation

What is Alkalosis?

The release of a large amount of CO2, which causes pH to increase

When using an indicator solution to test the pH of some samples of creek water. I tested two different samples with the indicator solution and they turned two different colors. When I used the pH meter the results showed that they had the same pH. How could this happen?

There could have been a contamination of another chemical other than H+ showing in pH readings. Also it could have different amounts of solution, Explaining the different colors
