Sample Test Questions (Visuals)

The diagram below represents a flower, the reproductive structure of some plants. Most flowers have both male and female structures for fertilization and reproduction. Which structure is represented by the letter A in the diagram above?

• A. the stamen, a male structure which produces

pollen

• B. the pistol, a female structure which collects pollen

and passes it to the ovary

• C. the sepal, a modified leaf used for protection of

the flower

• D. the petals, decorative structures which attract

pollinators

Sample Test Question (Short passage)

A weightlifter is using heavy weights in short bursts for a competition. Because his muscle cells are not able to take in enough oxygen to make very much ATP the weightlifter begins to get fatigue in his muscles. Which of the following processes is most likely going on in the muscles of the weightlifter as he competes in his event?

• A. As the cells run out of oxygen they switch to anaerobic respiration, which

allows the cell to make small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen.

• B. As the cells run out of oxygen, they die off gradually and the weightlifter's

muscles have fewer contracting muscle cells.

• C. The cells will never run out of oxygen if the weightlifter is breathing.
• D. As the cells run out of oxygen, they will continue to make the same amount of

ATP, since oxygen is not required to make ATP.

Sample Test Question (Direct question)

What function does ATP carry out in living things?

• A. aids in protein folding and coiling
• B. used to capture and transfer energy
• C. identifies DNA start sequences for transcription
• D. helps maintain the fluidity of cell membranes
