Question

11. Which of the following correctly describes a buffer?

A buffer converts an alkaline solution to neutral

A buffer converts an acid solution to neutral.

A buffer converts alkaline solutions to acid solutions.

A buffer converts strong bases or acids to weak bases or acids.

12. Which term does not belong in this list?

Acid

Vinegar

Hydrogen ion donor

pH 8

Lactic acid

13. The process in which molecules spread randomly from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration is:

Filtration

Diffusion

Exocytosis

Osmosis

14. Organize the following solutions from most concentrated to least concentrated: hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic.

Hypotonic>Hypertonic>Isotonic

Hypertonic>Hypotonic>Isotonic

Hypertonic>Isotonic>Hypotonic

Isotonic>Hypotonic>Hypertonic

15. The rate of diffusion depends on which of the following?

The medium

The size of the molecule

The polarity

All of the above

A. and C. only

16. All of the following are examples of elements except

Oxygen

Water

Hydrogen

Carbon

17. What would happen to a eukaryotic cell, if too much osmotic pressure develops within a cell?

The cell would remain the same size, but the internal organelles would become dehydrated

The cell would decrease in size, and could collapse.

The cell would increase in size, and could lyse.

Nothing, osmotic pressure does not impact the cell.

18. In the following chemical reaction, what is carbon dioxide (CO2)?

12 H20 + 6 CO2 = 1 glucose molecule + 6 O2

       A. substrate

       B. product

       C. enzyme

       D. activation factor

       E. independent variable

19. The bond in which two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons is a_________ bond.

Polar

Hydrogen

Ionic

Covalent

20. Which of the following terms includes all of the chemical reactions that occur within a cell?

Cellular respiration

Catabolism

Redox reactions

Metabolism

Phosphorylation

Explanation / Answer

11. 4th option because base always lessen or moderate the effect

12.3rd option because ph 8 denotes alkaline nature

13. 2nd option :- this is the definition of diffusion only

14. 3rd option

15. 3rd option

16. 2nd , water is a compound

17. 1 st option

18. substrate

19. covalent

20. metabolism
