20. Essay:
Evaluate the effects of climate change on biodiversity and discuss potential scientific
approaches to address these effects.
Answer Key:
1. b) Energy production through aerobic respiration
2. False
3. Mitosis
4. a) Temperature
b) pH
c) Substrate concentration
5. The phospholipid bilayer has hydrophilic heads facing outward and hydrophobic tails
inward, creating a semi-permeable membrane that regulates the passage of substances.
6. Feedback mechanisms help maintain homeostasis by regulating physiological processes.
Negative feedback loops, such as body temperature regulation, counteract deviations from
set points, while positive feedback loops amplify responses, e.g., during childbirth.
7.

9. True
10. Protons
11. b) Solar
c) Wind
12. Water’s hydrogen bonding requires significant energy to change temperature, giving it
a high specific heat capacity, which helps moderate temperature fluctuations and stabilizes
climate.
13. Antibiotic resistance leads to treatment failures and increased mortality. Strategies
include prudent antibiotic use, development of new drugs, and global monitoring
programs.
14.
Heat absorbed ( q = m c T = 200 (75 - 25) = 200 = 4000 , )
15. c) Electron
