Osmoregulation Quiz

Which way does high solute concentration flow? (In relation to osmosis)

• High concentration remains static.
• High concentration flows towards low concentration.
• High concentration flows towards high concentration.
• High concentration flows randomly.

More solute in solution than in cell refers to which of the following?

• Hypertonic solution
• Saturated solution
• Hypotonic solution
• Isotonic solution

What is the difference between osmoregulators and osmoconformers?

• Osmoregulators are found only in freshwater environments; osmoconformers are found only in saltwater environments.
• Osmoregulators can only survive in extreme conditions; osmoconformers thrive in stable environments.
• Osmoregulators change their internal osmotic pressure based on food intake; osmoconformers do not regulate their osmotic pressure at all.
• Osmoregulators maintain constant internal osmotic conditions; osmoconformers match their internal osmotic pressure to the environment.

Which one of these is not one of the three needs that a diet must satisfy?

• chemical energy for cellular processes

• organic building block for macromolecules

• essential nutrients that the body can't make

• slight overshoot of maintenance caloric needs

What is the difference between monomers and polymers?

• Monomers are the building blocks of polymers; polymers are long chains of repeating monomer units.
• Polymers are single units, while monomers are complex structures.
• Monomers and polymers are the same thing.

Which type of circulatory system is better suited for larger, more active animals?

• A closed circulatory system is less effective for active animals.
• An open circulatory system is better for maintaining high blood pressure.
• A closed circulatory system is better suited for larger, more active animals.
• An open circulatory system is more efficient for larger animals.

How do fish circulate blood through their bodies?

• Fish circulate blood through a two-chambered heart and gills.
• Fish rely on a four-chambered heart and kidneys to circulate blood.
• Fish circulate blood using a single-chambered heart and skin.
• Fish have a three-chambered heart and lungs.
