Question 4 / 10

⭐⭐ Medium 3 points

Scientists measured oxygen consumption and CO₂ production in muscle cells during exercise. Based on the data, what can you infer about the cells' metabolic state at 15 minutes?

Time (min)	O₂ Consumed (mL/min)	CO₂ Produced (mL/min)	ATP Production (μmol/min)	Lactate Level (mM)
0	5	5	30	1.0
5	15	15	90	1.2
10	25	22	140	2.5
15	30	20	160	5.8
20	32	18	165	8.2

Aerobic Respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + 36 ATP

Anaerobic Respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 Lactate + 2 ATP

A Cells are using only aerobic respiration efficiently B Cells switched completely to anaerobic respiration C Cells are using both aerobic and anaerobic pathways D Cells have stopped producing ATP

Question 5 / 10

⭐⭐ Medium 3 points

In the parallel circuit below, if bulb B2 burns out, predict what will happen to the brightness of bulbs B1 and B3.

A Both B1 and B3 will get dimmer B Both B1 and B3 will get brighter C B1 and B3 brightness remains unchanged D B1 and B3 will also burn out

Question 6 / 10

⭐⭐ Medium 3 points

The graph shows enzyme activity at different pH levels and temperatures. At which conditions does the enzyme show optimal activity?

A pH 2 and 25°C B pH 6 and 37°C C pH 10 and 45°C D pH 8 and 25°C

Question 7 / 10

⭐⭐ Medium 3 points

The diagram shows beak variations in finches on different islands. What evolutionary process caused these different beak shapes to develop?

A Artificial selection by human breeders B Natural selection based on available food sources C Random genetic drift with no selective pressure D Intentional adaptation by the birds

Question 8 / 10

⭐⭐⭐ Hard 4 points

Design an experiment to test whether light intensity or CO₂ concentration has a greater effect on photosynthesis rate. Which experimental setup would provide the most reliable results?

Available Equipment:

LED lights (adjustable)

CO₂ gas tanks

Aquatic plants

pH indicators

O₂ sensors

Temperature control

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

A Test both variables simultaneously in one experiment B Test only in natural sunlight without controls C Use different plant species for each variable test D Two separate experiments: vary light with constant CO₂, then vary CO₂ with constant light

Question 9 / 10

⭐⭐⭐ Hard 4 points

Scientists use different models to predict climate change. Which limitation of Model A (simple CO₂-temperature correlation) makes Model B (complex Earth system) more accurate?

A Model A is too complicated for scientists to understand B Model A ignores feedback loops and system interactions C Model A requires more computational power D Model A includes too many variables

Question 10 / 10

⭐⭐⭐ Hard 4 points

Scientists inserted a jellyfish gene (GFP) into bacteria. The data shows protein expression levels. What scientific principle explains why the bacterial cells can produce jellyfish protein?

Original Jellyfish GFP Gene:

ATG GTG AGC AAG GGC GAG GAA CTG TTC AAG ...

→ Green Fluorescent Protein (238 amino acids)

Time (hours)	Bacterial Growth (OD₆₀₀)	GFP Expression (RFU)	Protein Folding (%)
0	0.1	0	0
2	0.3	50	20
4	0.8	500	75
6	1.5	2000	95
8	2.0	3500	98

Result: Bacteria glow green under UV light
RFU = Relative Fluorescence Units | OD₆₀₀ = Optical Density at 600nm

A Bacteria evolved to produce GFP naturally B The universal genetic code allows cross-species gene expression C Jellyfish and bacteria are closely related species D The protein spontaneously appeared without the gene
