    Prokaryotes are mainly?

    • Plants

    • Animals

    • Bacteria

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Bacteria
    Explanation
    Prokaryotes are mainly bacteria because prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Bacteria are a type of prokaryote, characterized by their simple cellular structure and ability to adapt to various environments. While plants and animals are eukaryotes with more complex cellular structures, prokaryotes, such as bacteria, have distinct characteristics that differentiate them from other organisms. Therefore, the correct answer is bacteria.

    If a blood cell is put in a hypertonic solution it will?

    • Pop

    • Shrink

    • Remain the same

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Shrink
    Explanation
    When a blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the cell. As a result, water from inside the cell will move outwards through osmosis, causing the cell to lose water and shrink in size. Therefore, the correct answer is "shrink".

    If an enzyme is warmed it will work on the substrate

    • Faster

    • Slower

    • It wont work on it at all

    • It wont make a difference in the rate

    Correct Answer
    A. Faster
    Explanation
    When an enzyme is warmed, it increases the kinetic energy of the molecules, including the enzyme and the substrate. This increased energy allows for more frequent collisions between the enzyme and substrate, increasing the rate of reaction. Therefore, the enzyme will work on the substrate faster when warmed.

    In order to find the total magnification of a specimen, you must multiply the number on the objective lens with the number on the

    • Stage

    • Condenser

    • Light source

    • Ocular

    Correct Answer
    A. Ocular
    Explanation
    To find the total magnification of a specimen, you need to multiply the magnification of the objective lens with the magnification of the ocular lens. The objective lens is responsible for the initial magnification of the specimen, while the ocular lens further magnifies the image formed by the objective lens. The stage is where the specimen is placed, the condenser helps focus the light onto the specimen, and the light source provides illumination, but they do not directly contribute to the total magnification. Therefore, the correct answer is the ocular lens.

    If the measurement of the high power field of view is .450 mm and a specimen takes up 1/10 of the field the specimen is how big? Oops small?

    • 40 mm

    • 0.4 mm

    • 0.045 mm

    • .0045 mm

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.045 mm
    Explanation
    The measurement of the high power field of view is 0.450 mm. If a specimen takes up 1/10 of the field, it means that the specimen occupies 1/10 of 0.450 mm. To find the size of the specimen, we can divide 0.450 mm by 10, which gives us 0.045 mm. Therefore, the specimen is 0.045 mm in size.

    What happens if you denature the enzyme?

    • Faster

    • Slower

    • It wont work on it at all

    • It wont make a difference in the rate

    Correct Answer
    A. It wont work on it at all
    Explanation
    If you denature the enzyme, it means that you have altered its structure and destroyed its active site. The active site is the region of the enzyme where the substrate binds and the chemical reaction takes place. Without a functional active site, the enzyme is unable to catalyze the reaction, rendering it completely ineffective. Therefore, denaturing the enzyme will cause it to not work at all.

    The part of the plant that will not let it pop in a hypotonic solution is it's

    • Nucleus

    • Plastid

    • Wall

    • Membrane

    Correct Answer
    A. Wall
    Explanation
    The wall of a plant cell is composed of a rigid structure called the cell wall, which provides support and protection to the cell. In a hypotonic solution, where the external environment has a lower solute concentration compared to the cell's cytoplasm, water tends to move into the cell by osmosis. However, the cell wall prevents excessive water uptake and expansion of the cell, thereby preventing it from bursting or "popping".

    Cyanobacteria are?

    • Heterotrophs

    • Plants

    • Autotrophs

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Autotrophs
    Explanation
    Cyanobacteria are autotrophs because they are capable of photosynthesis, using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. They possess pigments, such as chlorophyll, which enable them to capture light energy and carry out this process. This ability to produce their own food distinguishes them from heterotrophs, which rely on obtaining nutrients from external sources, and from plants, which are a specific group of autotrophs but not the only ones. Therefore, cyanobacteria are classified as autotrophs.

    Eukaryotes are different from prokaryotes in that they have?

    • Nuclei

    • Organelles

    • Both

    • Neither

    Correct Answer
    A. Both
    Explanation
    Eukaryotes are different from prokaryotes because they have both nuclei and organelles. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, do not have a defined nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. On the other hand, eukaryotes, including plants, animals, fungi, and protists, have a distinct nucleus that houses their genetic material and various membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus. These organelles perform specific functions within the cell, contributing to the complexity and efficiency of eukaryotic organisms.

    The fact that a specimen is in focus under the 10X lens and it also in focus under the 40X after you rotate it into position is known as?

    • Parcentral

    • Parfocal

    • Total magnification

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Parfocal
    Explanation
    Parfocal refers to the property of a microscope where the specimen remains in focus when switching between different objective lenses without needing significant adjustments to the focus. In this case, the fact that the specimen remains in focus under both the 10X and 40X lenses after rotating it into position indicates that the microscope is parfocal.

    The lens that should be set to store the scope should be the?

    • Scanning

    • Low power (10)

    • HIGH POWER (40)

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Scanning
    Explanation
    The lens that should be set to store the scope should be the scanning lens. This is because the scanning lens provides a wider field of view and is used for locating and observing objects at low magnification. Storing the scope with the scanning lens ensures that it is ready for general use and allows for easy scanning of the specimen. The low power and high power lenses are used for higher magnification and detailed observation, respectively, and are not suitable for storing the scope.
