Question 1

Question
As a cell becomes larger, its
Answer
  • surface area increases faster than its volume
  • surface area stays the same, but its volume increases
  • volume increases faster than its surface area
  • volume increases, but its surface area stays the same

Question 2

Question
If the surface area of a cell that is shaped like a cube increases 100 times, its volume increases about
Answer
  • 1000 times
  • 10 times
  • 5 times
  • 100 times

Question 3

Question
All of the following are problems that growth causes for cells EXCEPT
Answer
  • more demands on DNA
  • expelling wastes
  • excess oxygen
  • obtaining enough food

Question 4

Question
Compared to small cells, large cells have more trouble
Answer
  • dividing
  • moving needed materials and waste products out
  • producing daughter cells
  • storing needed materials and waste products

Question 5

Question
After cell division, each daughter cell has
Answer
  • a lower surface area/volume ratio than the parent cell
  • a higher surface area/volume ratio than the parent cell
  • less DNA in its nucleus than the parent cell
  • more DNA in its nucleus than the parent cell

Question 6

Question
A multicellular organism begins life as a single cell—a fertilized egg with a complete set of chromosomes. The picture in Figure 10–2 above shows how the cell divides to become two cells, then four cells, eight cells, and so on. Which of the following statements best describes what happens during this process?
Answer
  • Chromosomes are divided evenly during cell division so that each new daughter cell has an equal share of the original set.
  • Chromosomes are randomly distributed during cell division so that some new cells have partial sets while others have complete sets.
  • Chromosomes are duplicated before cell division so that each new daughter cell has a complete set.
  • Chromosomes are stored in the original cell to direct the division of all daughter cells, which do not have their own chromosomes.

Question 7

Question
Which pair includes a phase of the cell cycle and a cellular process that occurs during that phase?
Answer
  • M phase, cell growth
  • G1 phase, DNA replication
  • S phase, cell division
  • G2 phase, preparation for mitosis

Question 8

Question
When during the cell cycle is a cell’s DNA replicated?
Answer
  • S phase
  • G1 phase
  • M phase
  • G2 phase

Question
In Figure 10–4, what role does structure A play in mitosis?

Question 16

Question
Which of the following is a correct statement about the events of the cell cycle?
Answer

Question 21

Question
What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?
Answer
  • They duplicate the DNA.
  • They make the chromosomes visible.
  • They break down the nuclear membrane.
  • They help separate the chromosomes.

Question 22

Question
The two main stages of cell division are called
Answer
  • mitosis and cytokinesis.
  • synthesis and cytokinesis.
  • the M phase and the S phase.
  • mitosis and interphase.
