AMP- PRACTICE EXAM QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
What do Active Transport and Facilitated Diffusion have in Common? - Answer -both
require membrane protein
During exercise the body cools itself by sweating. Sweating in response to an
elevated body temperature is an example of what process? - Answer -homeostasis
Active Transport - Answer -molecules are pumped from area of low concentration to
high concentration
Exocytosis - Answer -Molecules are released from the cell by vesicle fusing with the
cell membrane
Pinocytosis - Answer -Droplet of liquid are brought into the cell -to drink
Phagocytosis - Answer -Cell membrane extends around a molecule engulfing it into the
cell - to eat
Why will a red blood cell lose/gain water when placed in a hypotonic solution? Hint more
solutes inside than outside cell - Answer -It will gain water because there is more water
outside the cell and the water will try to balance by entering the cell
Functions of proteins do NOT include acting as - Answer -genes
Na is normally found outside cell in what fluid - Answer -extracellular
The wrist is _______ to the shoulder - Answer -distal
What would happen to a red blood cell if it were placed in a hypertonic solution? (More
solutes outside than inside cell) More salts outside the cell than inside. - Answer -it
would shrink
The various chemical reactions that organisms carry out are collectively called -
Answer -metabolism
John entered a radio contest in which he was required to drink a gallon of pure water
and keep it down for 15 minutes in order to win $500. He was successful, but collapsed
and died 15 minutes after completing the task. What killed him? What happens if RBC
are put in distilled water - Answer -pure water is hypotonic and this caused water to
enter his red blood cells. The water entering these cells caused them to burst or lyse.
What would happen to a red blood cell if it were placed in a hypotonic solution of pure
water? (Key PURE water no solutes - no salts in the water) More H20 molecules in the
cell or the pure water - Answer -it would swell until it burst
