Bio practice 3 1. The 'photo' in photosynthesis means to do with... A. Light B. Dark C. Light and dark D. None of the above Correct Answer A. Light Explanation In photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy, the term "photo" refers to light. This is because photosynthesis requires light energy to power the chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Without light, photosynthesis cannot occur, making light the correct answer.

Correct Answer D. To absorb water and minerals/nutrients. Explanation Root hair cells are specialized cells found in the root system of plants. Their main function is to absorb water and minerals/nutrients from the soil. These cells have long, thin projections called root hairs that increase the surface area for absorption. They have a large number of transport proteins in their cell membranes that facilitate the uptake of water and nutrients. Therefore, the correct answer is "To absorb water and minerals/nutrients."

A. 20 times magnification B. 50 times magnification C. 100 times magnification
D. 200 times magnification Correct Answer C. 100 times magnification Explanation The total magnification in a microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece. However, the magnification provided for the eyepiece is not given in the question. Assuming a standard eyepiece magnification of 10 times: Total Magnification = Objective Magnification × Eyepiece Magnification Given: Objective 1 Magnification = 10 times Objective 2 Magnification = 20 times Eyepiece Magnification = 10 times Total Magnification = (10 times) × (10 times) = 100 times Therefore, the correct answer is: C) 100 times magnification Rate this question: 30 0 4. DNA carries the instructions for an organism to grow. DNA stands for ..... A. Deoxyribose nucleic apple B. Deoxyribose nucleic apparatus
C. Deoxyribonucleic acid D. Deoxyribose nucleus acid Correct Answer C. Deoxyribonucleic acid Explanation DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid. It is a molecule that carries the genetic instructions for the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all known organisms. It is composed of two long chains of nucleotides that are twisted into a double helix structure. The nucleotides in DNA contain a sugar called deoxyribose, hence the name Deoxyribonucleic acid. This molecule is essential for the storage and transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next. Rate this question: 28 2 5. Plants contain vascular bundles. These are a little like human veins and arteries. They contain two things: one carries water, and the other carries glucose solution. What are these two things? A. Cambium and glucose
