The salt concentration inside an animal cell is 1.8 %. The salt concentration in the surrounding
medium becomes 5 %. What will be the likely response?

The cell will shrink from loss of water.

The cell will gain water from the medium.

The cell will remain unchanged.

The cell will lose salt to the medium.

Which conclusion can be drawn, based on these data?

The more margarine consumed, the greater the incidence of coronary heart disease.

It is better to eat margarine than to eat butter.

Butter is a natural product whereas margarine is hydrogenated vegetable oil that leads to

coronary heart disease.

Margarine causes more heart related deaths than butter.

The oceans absorb much of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The combustion of fossil
fuels has increased carbon dioxide ocean concentrations. What adverse effect does this
have on marine life?

Heterotrophs consume more phytoplankton.

Phytoplankton have increased rates of photosynthesis.

Corals deposit less calcium carbonate to form skeletons.

Increased pH reduces enzyme activity in marine organisms.

Mutations could not occur.

The offspring would show a lack of variation.

The offspring would be the same sex as the parent.

Too few offspring would be produced.
