What makes an animal cell burst
- A.
  
  Water moving into cell
- B.
  
  Water moving out of cell
- C.
  
  Water moving in and out of cell
Correct Answer
A. Water moving into cell

Explanation
When water moves into an animal cell, it can cause the cell to burst or undergo a process called lysis. This is because the cell membrane is permeable to water, allowing it to pass through. When there is a higher concentration of solutes inside the cell compared to outside, water moves into the cell through a process called osmosis. As water enters the cell, the internal pressure increases, potentially causing the cell to swell and burst. This is particularly likely to occur in a hypotonic solution where the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside.

Glycolysis is the initial step in cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate. During this process, a net of 2 ATP molecules are produced. This occurs through substrate-level phosphorylation, where ATP is generated by transferring a phosphate group from a high-energy molecule to ADP. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 ATP molecules.

Where does glycolysis occur
- A.
  
  Mitochondrian
- B.
  
  Cytoplast
- C.
  
  Chloroplast
Correct Answer
B. Cytoplast

Explanation
Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, specifically in the cytosol. It is the first step in cellular respiration and does not require the presence of any organelles such as mitochondria or chloroplasts. The process of glycolysis involves the breakdown of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, which can then enter the mitochondria for further energy production. Therefore, the correct answer is cytoplast.

The carriers for the electron transport chain is located
- A.
  
  Cytoplast
- B.
  
  Mitochondrian matrix
- C.
  
  Mitochondrian cristae
Correct Answer
C. Mitochondrian cristae

Explanation
The correct answer is mitochondrian cristae. The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. These complexes transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors, generating a proton gradient across the cristae. This proton gradient is then used to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. Therefore, the carriers for the electron transport chain are located in the mitochondrian cristae.
