They are provided as a study guide and to help remind you of concepts that you have learned this year. 1) Which procedure would most likely provide valid results in a test to determine if drug A would be effective in treating cancer in white mice? (a) injecting 1 ml of drug A into 100 white mice with cancer (b) injecting 1 ml of drug A into 100 white mice with cancer and 0.5 ml of drug X into 100 white mice without cancer (c) injecting 1 ml of drug A into 100 white mice with cancer and 0.5 ml of drug X into another group of 100 white mice with cancer (d) injecting 1 ml of drug A into 100 white mice with cancer and 1 ml of distilled water Into another group of 100 white mice with cancer 1
2 2) A biologist used the Internet to contact scientists around the world to obtain information about declining amphibian populations. He was able to gather data on 936 populations of amphibians, consisting of 157 species from 37 countries. Results showed that the overall numbers of amphibians dropped 15% a year from 1960 to 1966 and continued to decline about 2% a year through What is the importance of collecting an extensive amount of data such as this? (a) Researchers will now be certain that the decline in the amphibian populations is due to pesticides. (b) The data collected will prove that all animal populations around the world are threatened. (c) Results from all parts of the world will be found to be identical. (d) The quantity of data will lead to a better understanding of the extent of the problem. 3) A biologist collected the data shown in the table below. Which statement is supported by the data in the table? (a) Populations do not vary from month to month. (b) The populations are highest in September. (c) The grasshoppers increased in length in July. (d) Seasonal variations may affect populations. 4) In 1910, Thomas Morgan discovered a certain pattern of inheritance in fruit flies known as sex linkage. This discovery extended the ideas of inheritance that Gregor Mendel had discovered while working with garden peas in Which principle of scientific inquiry does this illustrate? (a) A control group must be part of a valid experiment. (b) Scientific explanations can be modified as new evidence is found. (c) The same experiment must be repeated many times to validate the results. (d) Values can be used to make ethical decisions about scientific discovery. 5) A student prepared a slide of pollen grains from flower. First the pollen was viewed through the low power objective lens and then, without moving the slide, viewed through the high power objective lens of a compound light microscope. Which statement best describes the relative number and appearance of the pollen grains observed using these two objectives? (a) low power: 25 small pollen grains high power: 100 large pollen grains (c) low power: 25 large pollen grains high power: 100 small pollen grains (b) low power: 100 small pollen grains (d) low power: 100 large pollen grains high power: 25 small pollen grains high power: 25 large pollen grains 2
3 Use your knowledge of biology, along with the following information, to answer this question. A student studied the location of single celled photosynthetic organisms in a lake for a period of several weeks. The depth at which these organisms were found at different times of the day varied greatly. Some of the data collected are shown in the table below. 6) A valid inference based on these data is that (a) most photosynthetic organisms live below a depth of 150 centimeters (b) oxygen production increases as photosynthetic organisms move deeper in the lake (c) photosynthetic organisms respond to changing light levels (d) photosynthetic organisms move up and down to increase their rate of carbon dioxide production 7) Which materials would the student most likely have used in this investigation? (a) microscope, pipettes (droppers), meter sticks, and slides with coverslips (b) graduated cylinder, triple beam balance, and chromatography paper (c) thermometer, electric balance, and biological stains (d) computer, ph paper, and gel electrophoresis apparatus 8) What is the approximate length of the earthworm shown in the diagram below? (a) 9 mm (c) 10.6 cm (b) 90 mm (d) 106 cm 9) While viewing a specimen under high power of a compound light microscope, a student noticed that the specimen was out of focus. Which part of the microscope should the student turn to obtain a clearer image under high power? (a) eyepiece (c) fine adjustment (b) coarse adjustment (d) nosepiece Base your answer to this question on the information in the chart and on your knowledge of biology. 3
4 Students cut 20 rod shaped pieces of potato of the same diameter and length. Five pieces of potato were placed into each of four beakers containing different concentrations of sugar solutions. Each potato piece was measured again after 24 hours. The table below shows the results of their experiment. 10) Which graph below best represents the information in the data table? a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4 11) Students were asked to determine if they could squeeze a clothespin more times in a minute after resting than after exercising. An experiment that accurately tests this question should include all of the following except (a) a hypothesis on which to base the design of the experiment (b) a large number of students (c) two sets of clothespins, one that is easy to open and one that is more difficult to open (d) a control group and an experimental group with equal numbers of students of approximately the same age 12) How much water should be removed from the graduated cylinder shown to the right to leave 5 milliliters of water in the cylinder? (a) 6 ml (c) 11 ml (b) 7 ml (d) 12 ml 4
5 13) A science researcher is reviewing another scientist s experiment and conclusion.
