QuestionsT5-76

The leaves of potato plants have a high

concentration of the toxic compound, solanine.
Potatoes themselves (the tubers) have a low
concentration of solanine. If the potato is exposed
to enough light, it will produce solanine.

75. Which of the following is the best scientific

explanation of why the production of solanine
became a common characteristic of potato plants?
(A) Potato plants that were able to make the
toxin were not eaten and so left the most
offspring.
(B) Potato plants decided to make the toxin to
prevent themselves from being eaten.
(C) Potato plants originally made the toxin to
eliminate competing plant species.
(D) Potato plants that made the toxin killed the
potato plants that did not make the toxin.
(E) The toxin spread from plant to plant, until all
of them had it.

76.In addition to producing solanine, potato tubers

exposed to light also turn green. Which of the
following is the most likely explanation for this
change?
(A) The green color acts as a warning not to eat
the tuber.
(B) The chemical solanine absorbs green light.
(C) Lack of soil stimulates the tuber to become a
leaf.
(D) The presence of light stimulates the synthesis
of chlorophyll.

Questions 92-94

Protein stains, such as blood, are difficult to remove from clothes. In order to test the ability of certain substances
10 remove protein stains, the following experiment was performed. Fourteen equal-sized pieces of cotton cloth were
each stained with I milliliter (mL) of blood. Each piece was then placed in a l-liter flask containing 500 mL of H.O
and I 0 mL of one of the solutions listed in the table below. Each flask was well shaken during washing at a particular
temperature and the cloth was removed at the time shown. Extent of stain removal under the various conditions is
shown in the table below.
