Practice Exam

This practice exam is VERY LONG. There is a lot of information on here, some of which may or
may not be on your exam. Also, some questions are repeated in a different format so you can
think about them differently. Try to use this as a study guide. Fill it out without looking through
your notes to see how much you know, and what you need to focus your studying on. Do not use
this practice exam only while studying for your exam. Be sure to review your notes, worksheets
and readings done in class. If you have questions let me know!
Look at self-quiz on D2L for tissue review!
True/False- If false, be able to explain WHY!
1. Cells regulate water content by actively transporting water across membranes.
2. All cells and cell parts have a neutral pH (~7.0).
3. All animals are heterotrophs.
4. A solute dissolves a solvent to form a solution.
5. All enzymes are proteins.
6. Greater H+, lower the pH, the more basic.
7. Homeostasis is the same thing as equilibrium.
8. Simple epithelium is more than one cell thick.
9. Cellular respiration is how cells exchange gasses.
10. All organisms need oxygen to survive.
11. Animals make ATP energy through cellular respiration and plants make ATP through
photosynthesis.
12. Hypothesis and theory mean the same thing in science.
13. Things in biology can be proven true or correct from the results of one experiment.
