Applications of Cell Technology

Question 3 • Miami Biology EOC: SC.912.L.16.10: Biotechnology

The development of different cell technologies has led to changes in existing information. Which of the following is an example of a discovery that could cause such a change?

Answer
A
an experiment that confirms how water moves into and out of a cell
B
an experiment that shows a different way to measure a variable
C
an experiment that reproduces the results of a previous experiment
D
an experiment that reveals a new step in a metabolic pathway

Explanation

A discovery that reveals a new step in a metabolic pathway adds new information about how cells work and could require existing explanations to change. Confirming known water movement or reproducing earlier results supports existing information, while changing how a variable is measured does not necessarily change what is known biologically. The correct choice is an experiment that reveals a new step in a metabolic pathway.
