Which statements best compare the function of an ATP molecule to a DNA molecule?

• ATP carries and transmits the genetic information of organisms. DNA serves as a biological catalyst that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions.

• ATP provides energy for chemical reactions in the cell. DNA carries and transmits the genetic information of organisms.

• ATP serves as a biological catalyst that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions. DNA acts as a structural sugar in the cell walls of plants.

• ATP acts as a structural sugar in the cell walls of plants. DNA provides energy for chemical reactions in the cell.

Students created note cards comparing characteristics of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Which set of note cards most accurately compares these cells?

• Eukaryotic Cells: Membrane-bound nucleus or organelles, DNA chromosomes in the nucleus; Prokaryotic Cells: No nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles, DNA chromosome in the cytoplasm.

• Eukaryotic Cells: No membrane-bound nucleus or organelles, DNA chromosomes in the cytoplasm; Prokaryotic Cells: No nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles, DNA chromosome in the cytoplasm.

• Eukaryotic Cells: No membrane-bound nucleus or organelles, DNA chromosomes in the cytoplasm; Prokaryotic Cells: Membrane-bound nucleus or organelles, DNA chromosome in the nucleus.

• Eukaryotic Cells: No membrane-bound nucleus or organelles, DNA chromosomes in the nucleus; Prokaryotic Cells: Membrane-bound nucleus or organelles, DNA chromosome in the nucleus.

Which statement describes the process of osmosis in an animal cell?

• Sugar molecules move across the plasma membrane until the cell has enough energy to grow in size and divide.

• Water molecules move across the plasma membrane until solute concentrations are equal on both sides of the membrane.

• Ions move across the plasma membrane until the inside of the cell has a higher concentration of positive charges.

• Enzymes move across the plasma membrane until the cell has completed metabolism.
