Question 2

In the context of GAMSAT biology questions, which process describes the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from low to high solute concentration?

Accepted Answer

Osmosis

Answer

Osmosis is the passive movement of water from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration across a semipermeable membrane.

Question 3

Which of the following best describes the role of ATP in cellular biology, a common GAMSAT topic?

Accepted Answer

It stores and transfers chemical energy

Answer

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, storing and transferring chemical energy for metabolic processes.

Question 4

On a GAMSAT chemistry question, what is the pH of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of 1 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L?

Accepted Answer

4

Answer

pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(1 × 10⁻⁴) = 4.

Question 5

Which type of chemical bond is formed when two atoms share electrons, a concept tested in GAMSAT Section III?
