Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #33717 Medium Industry of Cell
Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
Through to listen to part of a talk in a science class. As you recall from our previous discussion, the chemistry of life is organized into metabolic pathways. Next year, in your organic chemistry lab, you'll go into this into metabolism in more depth. Since this is an intro course, you need only a general understanding of the process. For now, there’s a wonderful video tape I'd like you to know about that will help you review for the test next week. It's part of the transformation series that was on television about a year ago. The episode you should watch is called the industry of a cell. I strongly urge you to see it. I believe our library has more than one copy. It shows lots of examples. The many ways that cells use energy for metabolism. For example, it shows how bacteria in the headlight of a certain fish, how these bacteria take the energy stored in food and converted into light in a process called bioluminescence. You should all try to see this program before next week. I highly recommend it. In fact, you can expect to see examples from it on the test.

What does the professor imply about the videotape?

Option 2: "It covers material that will be on the next test."

Explanation: The professor explicitly states that students can expect to see examples from the videotape on the test next week. This directly supports the idea that the videotape covers relevant material for the upcoming assessment.

Option 1: "It cannot be checked out of the library."

Explanation: The text does not mention any restrictions on checking out the videotape from the library. In fact, it states that the library has more than one copy, implying that it is available for students to borrow.

Option 3: "It will be shown on television later that week."

Explanation: The text indicates that the videotape is part of a series that aired on television about a year ago, but it does not suggest that it will be shown again later that week. Therefore, this option is not supported by the text.

Option 4: "It contains examples of the professor's research."

Explanation: The text does not mention that the videotape contains examples of the professor's own research. Instead, it discusses general examples of cellular metabolism, such as bioluminescence in bacteria, which are not specifically tied to the professor's research.
