Correct Answer: D. Energy decreases between trophic levels because much is lost as heat and metabolic work
Explanation:
Matter cycles, but usable energy flows through ecosystems and declines at successive trophic levels.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. Allele frequencies can change through selection, drift, mutation and gene flow
Explanation:
Several evolutionary forces alter allele frequencies; drift is especially influential in small populations.

Correct Answer: A. The phospholipid bilayer is selectively permeable and contains functional proteins
Explanation:
Cell membranes are phospholipid bilayers with proteins that regulate transport and signalling.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. Mitosis produces daughter nuclei with the same chromosome number as the parent nucleus
Explanation:
Mitosis preserves chromosome number and supports growth and tissue repair.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. Meiosis reduces chromosome number and creates variation through independent assortment and recombination
Explanation:
Meiosis forms haploid cells and generates variation through chromosome segregation and recombination.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. Aerobic respiration transfers energy from nutrients to ATP using electron carriers and oxygen as final acceptor
Explanation:
Aerobic respiration uses glycolysis, the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation to make ATP.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. Heritable traits that improve reproductive success can become more common across generations
Explanation:
Natural selection changes population trait frequencies when heritable variation affects reproductive success.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. Negative feedback counteracts deviations from a physiological set range
Explanation:
Negative-feedback systems detect deviations and activate responses that restore a regulated range.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. Memory lymphocytes enable a faster and stronger response after re-exposure to an antigen
Explanation:
Adaptive immunity forms antigen-specific memory cells, the basis of vaccination.
