Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.4 Measurement, SI Units, and Tool Use skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

The spectrophotometer diagram shows a cuvette with a 1 cm light path and a wavelength setting. Which measurement condition should be kept constant when comparing absorbance across samples?

AMass of the cuvette label and color of the bench

BRoom wall height and microscope objective power

CGraduated cylinder brand and timer button shape

DWavelength setting and cuvette path length

Solution & Explanation:Absorbance comparisons require the same wavelength and path length because both affect how much light passes through the sample.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A biology team measures photosynthesis using oxygen volume every minute while keeping temperature constant. Which tool set best matches the required measurements?

ABalance only, because all variables are mass measurements

BStage micrometer, hand lens, and ruler only

CGas syringe or graduated collection tube, timer, and temperature probe

DCentrifuge, gel box, and DNA ladder only

Solution & Explanation:Oxygen volume, elapsed time, and constant temperature require a volume-collection tool, a timer, and a temperature probe. The other tool sets do not match the measurements.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Two microscope images show similar cells, but one was captured at a different zoom setting. Which comparison method is most valid?

AAssume equal screen size means equal actual cell size.

BUse the scale bar or calibration for each image before comparing cell size.

CCompare only the brightness of the two images.

DConvert both images to grams before measuring.

Solution & Explanation:Actual size depends on each image's scale, so scale bars or calibration values are needed before comparing cell dimensions.
