13. Plants as a whole are: (A)obligate aerobes. (B) obligate anaerobes. (C)facultative aerobes. (D)facultative anaerobes.

14. The synthesis of proteins from amino acids is a very endergonic process. In most organisms, the energy to drive this synthesis comes from all of the following except: (A)glycolysis. (B) photorespiration. (C)the citric acid cycle. (D)the electron transport chain and chemiosmotic oxidative phosphorylation. (E)respiration from lipids.

複選題15. If a cell has a water potential of -0.3 MPa, water will diffuse from that cell toward a cell whose water potential is: (A)-0.4 MPa. (B) -0.3 MPa. (C)-0.2 MPa. (D)-0.1 MPa. (E)0 MPa.

17. Which of the following statements is true? (A)The contents of the phloem are under pressure and the contents of the xylem are under tension. (B) Sieve tube members are empty, dead cells. (C)Vessel element protoplasm is unique because the vacuolar membrane disintegrates, allowing vacuolar water to mix with the cytosol.
