The mitochondrial inner membrane carries out the same function in cellular respiration as the ________ membrane of chloroplasts in photosynthesis. Which of the following correctly completes the sentence above?
A. Thylakoid
B. Epithelial
C. Nuclear
D. Tonoplast
The thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts is where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place, while the mitochondrial inner membrane is where the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis occur during cellular respiration.
The tonoplast is the membrane that surrounds the central vacuole in plant cells. It is not involved in cellular respiration or photosynthesis.
The other options, epithelial and nuclear, are not related to these processes.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

Q #1: Which of the following summarizes a change that takes place as a solid turns to a liquid?
A. Particles have a decrease in mobility.
B. Particles become less ordered.
C. Particles move closer together.
D. Intermolecular forces between particles become stronger.
Answer Explanation
A change that takes place as a solid turns to a liquid is that particles become less ordered ¹. When a solid is heated, its particles gain energy and begin to vibrate more rapidly ². As the temperature increases, the particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in place and begin to move more freely
². This results in a loss of order as the solid melts and becomes a liquid.
The other options are not correct because they do not accurately describe a change that takes place as a solid turns to a liquid. Particles do not have a decrease in mobility, move closer together, or experience stronger intermolecular forces between them as a solid turns to a liquid.

Q #2: Which of the following correctly orders structures from simple to complex?
A. Cells, tissues, atoms, organs
B. Atoms, organs, tissues, cells
C. Atoms, cells, tissues, organs
D. Organs, tissues, cells, atoms
Answer Explanation
The correct answer is c. Atoms, cells, tissues, organs. This is the correct order of structures from simple to complex. Atoms are the smallest and simplest units of mater. Cells are made up of atoms and are the basic units of life.
Tissues are groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function. Organs are made up of different types of tissues and perform more complex functions.
A. Cells, tissues, atoms, organs is not the correct order from simple to complex.
B. Atoms, organs, tissues, cells is not the correct order from simple to complex.
D. Organs, tissues, cells, atoms is not the correct order from simple to complex.

Q #3: Punnet Square An organism with an unknown genotype is crossed with another organism that shows the recessive trait (aa). The Punnet square below shows the results. Which of the following is the unknown genotype? Unknown Unkonwn a Aa aa a Aa aa
A. a
B. Aa
C. aa
D. AA
Answer Explanation
The unknown genotype is Aa. This can be inferred from the Punnet square, which shows that half of the offspring are Aa and half are aa. This indicates that the unknown parent must have one dominant allele (A) and one recessive allele (a), making its genotype Aa.
The other options are not correct because they do not match the results shown in the Punnet square. If the unknown genotype was aa or AA, all of the offspring would have the same genotype as their parent. If the unknown genotype was a, it would not be a valid genotype as it only has one allele.
