EOCT Review Biology 2010 30 Questions Mrs. McClain
1 What does the line graph below show? • The population increased at a constant rate • The population increased rapidly and then leveled off • The population increased at an exponential rate • Ecosystems are able to support any number of species
2 Mitosis occurs • Only in gamete cells • In somatic cells (body cells) • Only when an organism makes repairs to cells • As part of active transport
3 All the populations of different organisms that inhabit the same area at the same time make up: • A community • An ecosystem • A biome • A biosphere
4 The substance labeled “catalyst” also is known by what other name? • Antibody • Lipid • Enzyme • Inorganic compound catalyst catalyst catalyst
5 Down syndrome is the result of an extra chromosome 21 in a gamete. What caused this to happen? • Nondisjunction • Telomeres • Environment • Chromosome inactivation
6 If a cell is placed in a highly concentrated glucose solution, water will leave the cell by • Osmosis • Exocytosis • Active Transport • Facilitated diffusion
7 The equation below represents a biological process. Where is this process completed? • Nucleus • Mitochondria • Cell membrane • Chloroplasts
8 A poison ivy vine has the ability to grow up the side of a large tree. This response is an example of: • geotropism • phototropism • thigmotropism • hydrotropism
9 What does the pyramid of biological magnification shown below illustrate? • Higher trophic carnivores eat very little food • Toxic substances increase as tropic levels increase in a food chain • Acid precipitation destroys underwater habitats • The process of eutrophication destroys underwater habitats
10 Why are the structures shown below considered to be homologous? • They belong to organisms that evolved from separate ancestors • They are the result of geographic isolation • They belong to organisms that probably evolved from a common ancestor • They are the result of sympatric speciation
11 A single strand of DNA with the base pairing sequence C G A T T G is compatible only with the sequence: • T A G C C T • G C T A A G • G C T A A C • C G A T T G
12 What happens to the total amount of energy as it flows through a food chain? • It remains the same • It increases • It decreases • It increases and then decreases
13 The cell theory states that: • Living things are made of cells • Cells come from other living cells of the same kind • Cells are the basic unit of all living things • All of the above

15 Which of the following kingdoms does NOT contain any heterotrophs? • Protista • Animalia • Plantae • Fungi
16 Based on this picture, why are eugelnoids classified with plant-like protists? • They form pseudopods • They contain chloroplasts and undergo photosynthesis • They have a nucleus surrounded by a membrane • They have a flagellum
17 In the nitrogen cycle, nitrogen is continuously recycled. Which type of organism break down nitrogen compounds in dead organisms and recycle them into the soil? • Bacteria • Heterotrophs • Green plants • Herbivores
18 The scientific name for the African elephant is Loxodonta africana. Which is the species name? • Loxodonta • africana • Homo sapien • African elephant
