WGU C190 Objective Assessment (Latest 2025/ 2026 Update) Introduction to Biology | Q/A | 100% Correct (Verified Answers) QUESTION Hormones and other chemicals travel throughout the body in the liquid portion of blood. Blood is able to transport a wide variety of chemicals because the liquid portion is mostly water. Which characteristic of water is this an example of? Answer: Good solvent QUESTION A biological polymer consists of 358 amino acids linked together covalently. What is this polymer? Answer: A protein QUESTION A molecule consists of a chain of glucose monomers linked together. What is the function of this molecule within the cell? Answer: To store energy QUESTION What is true of a molecule of ATP that is released at the end of the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis? Answer: It contains chemical potential energy in the form of phosphate bonds. QUESTION The initial biochemical transformation of glucose during cellular respiration occurs within the cytoplasm of the cell. Glucose is transformed into glucose-6-phosphate as ATP is converted into ADP and a free phosphate group. What is happening to energy in this initial step of glycolysis? Answer: Energy is being released from ATP to power the conversion of glucose. QUESTION Which of these is an output of the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis? Answer: ATP QUESTION Which molecule is an input to the Calvin-Benson cycle? Answer: Carbon dioxide QUESTION Which stage of cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide as a product? Answer: Krebs cycle QUESTION Which stage of cellular respiration releases the most energy and, therefore, produces the most ATP molecules? Answer: Electron transport chain QUESTION In the human body, muscle fibers metabolize sugars to produce energy. Fast-twitch muscle fibers, like those used during short-term, vigorous exercise, carry out an anaerobic process that produces less energy per sugar molecule processed. Which metabolic process do fast-twitch muscle fibers carry out? Answer: Fermentation QUESTION An organelle consists of a series of membranous sacs and tubes; some of these sacs and tubes have ribosomes embedded in them, while others do not. The function of the organelle is to assemble proteins and other cellular components, such as lipids. What is this organelle and where is it found? Answer: Endoplasmic reticulum; both plant and animal cells QUESTION What is true of a eukaryotic cell? Answer: It contains mitochondria. QUESTION Why are cell membranes composed of two phospholipid layers, with the fatty acid tails of each layer directly interacting with each other? Answer: The fatty acid tails are hydrophobic and cluster together away from the aqueous cytoplasm and the fluid outside the cell. QUESTION Some cells need to maintain a set concentration of Na + and K + ions. These cells are able to do this with the help of the Na/K pump, which transports these ions from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration (against their concentration gradient). Na + is pumped out, and K + is pumped in. Which type of membrane transport is involved in this action? Answer: Active transport QUESTION Chromosomes compact and organize genetic material by wrapping DNA around histones. What are histones composed of? Answer: Proteins QUESTION A cell has divided its chromosomes into two new nuclei. The cytoskeleton of the cell is currently pinching the cell in the middle to form two new cells. In which stage of the cell cycle is this cell? Answer: Cytokinesis
