1. How Osmosis Works: Osmosis is best defined as the movement of a. Molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. b. Molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration. c. Water molecules move across a membrane from an area of low water to an area of higher concentration. d. Water molecules move across a membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of lower concentration. 2. Which of the following will pass through a cell membrane most easily? a. small polar molecules b. small nonpolar molecules c. large polar molecules d. large nonpolar molecules 3. A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic medium will a. expand. b. burst. c. shrink. d. have no change in shape. 4. A 5% urea solution is hypotonic to a 10% urea solution. a. True b. False 5. If a cell is placed in an isotonic medium, there will be no net movement of water. a. True b. False

6. What is the role of the dark reactions of photosynthesis? a. The dark reactions make oxygen. b. The dark reactions convert carbon dioxide to sugar. c. The dark reactions use the atoms in ATP to make sugar. d. The dark reactions generate ATP and NADPH. 7. Where do the light reactions take place? a. thylakoid membrane b. stroma c. mitochondria d. space within the thylakoid disk 8. Where do the dark reactions take place? a. in the mitochondria c. within the thylakoid membrane b. in the space within thylakoid disks d. in the stroma 9. What is the linkage between the light and dark reactions? a. The light reactions produce carbon dioxide and the dark reactions use carbon dioxide. b. The light reactions produce ATP and NADPH, and the dark reactions require ATP and NADPH. c. The light reactions pass electrons via an electron transport chain to the dark reactions. d. The dark reactions are exergonic and the light reactions are endergonic. 10. Why is the use of carbon dioxide in the dark reactions important? a. The plant would not be able to get rid of carbon dioxide if the dark reactions did not use it. b. Fixation of carbon dioxide in the dark reactions makes it usable for all life forms. c. The carbon dioxide produced by the light reactions is used by the dark reactions. d. The dark reactions convert carbon dioxide directly into ATP to make energy. 11. What is the role of electron transport in ATP synthesis? a. Electron transport creates a proton gradient that is used to supply energy for the synthesis of ATP. b. Electron transport chains donate the final electrons directly to ATP. c. Electron transport chains are necessary to split water to generate oxygen. d. Electron transport chains donate electrons to phosphate, which transfers them to ATP.
