1. Antelopes are herbivores. Which sentence describes the way an antelope uses energy? It uses photosynthesis to convert the glucose in plants into ATP.

It seeks out plants that contain chloroplasts to make ATP.

It changes plants into protein through ATP synthesis.

It converts the sugar from plants into ATP through cellular respiration.

2. Which of the following is not a characteristic of life shared by all living things?

Metabolism

Meiosis

Heredity

Growth and development

3. A horse's cells carry out many processes at once. Some cells are involved in growing fur and some are involved in muscle contraction.

Which sentence describes how cells continue to carry out their many processes?

The phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane is selectively permeable.

Cells are constantly converting the energy from glucose into usable energy in the form of ATP.

Cells contain genes from two individuals, and the combination of genes result in genetic variation

New cells are always being made from old ones in the process of meiosis.

4. Which statement is an example of how structure relates to function?

An allele for purple flowers is dominant and an allele for white flowers is recessive

Heredity is the passing of genetic information from parent to offspring.

Mitochondria have a highly folded membrane which increases the amount of ATP that can be made.

DNA transcribes into RNA, and RNA translates into proteins.

5. Which statement is true about the chemical elements found in living things?

All cells contain the elements carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Single-cell organisms have different elements from multicell organisms.

Plant cells and animal cells are made up of very different elements.

Only certain cells contain carbon and oxygen.

6. The organic compounds in living things are organized into groups: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Which two macromolecules play a central role in Transcription and Translation?

carbohydrates and lipids

nucleic acids and proteins

proteins and carbohydrates

lipids and nucleic acids

7. Which of the following is true about multicellular organisms?

Their cells can be specialized for specific functions

Their cells are prokaryotic

Their cells can all switch to the same cell type

Their cells are all exact copies

8. Which statement is NOT true about energy and living things?

Cells require usable energy in the form of ATP

Animal cells produce glucose during cell respiration

All organisms require energy for survival.

Plants convert light energy into chemical energy.

9. A zebra embryo is in the early stages of development. The cells are beginning to look different from each other.

Which statement is the best description of what is happening to the zebra embryo?

The cells are differentiating so that they have specialized functions

Mitosis is making identical new cells from the original cells.

Meiosis is breaking down old cells to form new ones.

Cellular respiration is making many different types of cells.

10. Which of the following describes Mendel's law of segregation?

During meiosis, the two alleles for a trait separate into different gametes

Alleles of a trait can never be separated from each other.

During meiosis, two alleles that were separated come back together

During DNA replication, the alleles separate into haploid daughter cells
