Which statement correctly explains whether more ATP is found in muscle cells or bone cells?

A
More ATP is found in muscle cells because they use energy less efficiently than bone cells.
B
More ATP is found in bone cells because they grow more and need energy from ATP.
C
More ATP is found in bone cells because they need large amounts of energy to produce marrow.
D
More ATP is found in muscle cells because they need large amounts of energy to power motion.

Which statement best describes the process of chemiosmosis and the direct result of its occurrence?

A
Hydrogen ions flow from the thylakoid down a concentration gradient through ATP synthase channels into the stroma. ADP is converted to ATP.
B
Hydrogen ions flow from the thylakoid down a concentration gradient through ATP synthase channels into the stroma. ATP is converted to ADP.
C
Hydrogen ions flow from the stroma down a concentration gradient through ATP synthase channels into the thylakoid. ADP is converted to ATP.
D
Hydrogen ions flow from the thylakoid against a concentration gradient through ATP synthase channels into the stroma. ADP is converted to ATP.

Which series of diagrams correctly represents the order of mitosis?

A
The steps of mitosis are shown. In step 1, the cell starts to break down structures. In step 2, the chromosomes line up at the center. In step 3, the chromatids separate from each other and are pulled to opposite ends of the cell. In step 4, the cell is divided.
