A cell in the leaf of a green plant performs both photosynthesis and cellular respiration, often at the same time. Which statement best describes how these processes are related to each other?
a) Both processes produce carbon dioxide.
b) Both processes require energy directly from the Sun.
c) Products of one process are used as some of the reactants for the other process.
d) Thermal energy from one process is used as the energy source for the other process.

A scientist observed that during the course of a chemical reaction the number of ATP molecules was reduced. What did the scientist most likely learn from the observation?
a) The reaction produced water.
b) The reaction consumed water.
c) The reaction caused an output of energy.
d) The reaction required an input of energy.

Which statement best describes how channel and carrier proteins in the plasma membrane are similar?
a) Both allow for the flow of molecules into and out of a cell.
b) Both directly connect the membrane to the nucleus of a cell.
c) Both use energy to continuously move water molecules out of a cell.
d) Both cause the phospholipid bilayer to form a rigid membrane for a cell.

Which statement best describes the outcomes of both meiosis and mitosis?
a) Cell division results in daughter cells that contain DNA
b) Each daughter cell has two complete sets of chromosomes
c) Within a cell, two chromosomes pair up and exchange segments of genetic material.

c) They study chromosomes that contain DNA segments, which are RNA.
d) They study chromosomes that contain genes, which are DNA

An inversion occurs along part of a chromosome. How does the inversion most likely affect the region in which it occurs?
