    The maintenance of a constant and optimal internal environment in an organism is termed

    • Positive feedback

    • Homeostasis

    • Negative feedback

    • Effector control

    • Integration

    Correct Answer
    A. Homeostasis
    Explanation
    Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a constant and optimal internal environment in an organism. It involves various physiological processes that work together to regulate body temperature, pH levels, blood sugar levels, and other variables within a narrow range. Homeostasis ensures that the body's internal conditions remain stable despite external changes. Positive and negative feedback mechanisms are integral to homeostasis, but the term "homeostasis" itself encompasses the overall process of maintaining internal balance. Effector control and integration are related concepts, but they do not capture the full scope of homeostasis.

    When body temperature rises, a center in the brain initiates physiological changes to decrease the body temperature. This is an example

    • Negative feedback

    • Positive feedback

    • Nonhomeostatic regulation

    • Diagnostic regulation

    • Disease

    Correct Answer
    A. Negative feedback
    Explanation
    When the body temperature rises, the brain initiates physiological changes to decrease it. This is an example of negative feedback because the response opposes the initial stimulus. In this case, the body's response is aimed at reducing the elevated temperature and bringing it back to the normal range. Negative feedback is a regulatory mechanism that helps maintain homeostasis by counteracting any deviations from the desired set point.

    The increaseingly forceful labor contractions during childbirth are an example of 

    • Receptor activation

    • Effector shutdown

    • Negative feedback

    • Positive feedback

    • Integration

    Correct Answer
    A. Positive feedback
    Explanation
    During childbirth, the increasingly forceful labor contractions are an example of positive feedback. Positive feedback occurs when a stimulus amplifies or reinforces the initial response, leading to a cascade of events. In this case, the contraction of the uterus during labor stimulates the release of oxytocin, which in turn causes more contractions. This positive feedback loop continues until the baby is born.

    • Pelvic cavity

    • Pleural cavities

    • Both b and d

    Correct Answer
    A. Both b and d
    Explanation
    The thoracic cavity contains both the pericardial cavity and the pleural cavities. The pericardial cavity is the space that surrounds the heart, while the pleural cavities are the spaces that surround the lungs. These cavities are located within the thoracic cavity, which is the space in the chest between the neck and the diaphragm. The coelom is a general term for the body cavity that contains the internal organs, but it is not specific to the thoracic cavity. The pelvic cavity is located in the lower part of the abdomen and is not part of the thoracic cavity. Therefore, the correct answer is both b and d.

    Which sectional plane could divide the body so that the face remains intact?

    • Sagittal plane

    • Coronal plane

    • Equaltorial plane

    • Midsagittal plane

    • Parasagittal plane

    Correct Answer
    A. Coronal plane
    Explanation
    The coronal plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into front and back sections. This means that if the body is divided along the coronal plane, the face will remain intact because it is located in the front section of the body. The other planes listed (sagittal, equatorial, midsagittal, parasagittal) do not specifically divide the body in a way that would keep the face intact.

    • Peer review

    • Inductive reasoning

    • The double blind method

    • Hypothesis testing

    • The hypothetico-deductive method

    Correct Answer
    A. The double blind method
    Explanation
    The double blind method is a scientific method used to avoid psychological bias in medical research. In this method, neither the participants nor the researchers are aware of which group (control or experimental) they belong to. This helps in eliminating any potential bias that could arise from the participants or researchers knowing the treatment being administered. By keeping both parties blind to the treatment, the results obtained are more objective and reliable.

    • A pair of lectrons is shared unequally by town atoms

    • Hydrogen forms bonds with neg charge atom in the same or different mole

    • 2 or more atoms loos electrons

    Correct Answer
    A. Electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another
    Explanation
    Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. In an ionic bond, one atom loses electrons to become positively charged (cation), while the other atom gains those electrons to become negatively charged (anion). The attraction between the opposite charges holds the atoms together, forming the ionic bond. This transfer of electrons allows both atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration, similar to the noble gases.

    Elements that have atoms with full outer shells of electrons

    • Will form many compounds

    • Will normally form anions

    • Will normally form cations

    • Form hydogen bonds

    • Are inert

    Correct Answer
    A. Are inert
    Explanation
    Elements that have atoms with full outer shells of electrons are inert. Inert elements do not readily react with other elements or form compounds because they already have a stable electron configuration. This stability is achieved by having a full outer shell of electrons, which makes the element less likely to gain or lose electrons and form chemical bonds with other elements. Inert elements are often found in Group 18 of the periodic table, known as the noble gases, which include helium, neon, argon, and others. These gases are known for their low reactivity and are commonly used in various applications due to their inertness.

    A. Na2hp04 absorbs excess h+ n -0h directly surface crystalline struct.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that Na2HPO4 absorbs excess H+ and OH- directly on its surface and crystalline structure. This means that when a small amount of hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide is added to a solution of Na2HPO4, the pH of the solution does not change. Na2HPO4 acts as a buffer, able to absorb and neutralize both acidic and basic components without significantly affecting the pH of the solution.

    If a polypeptide contains 10 peptide bonds, how many amino acid does it contain

    • 0

    • 5

    • 10

    • 11

    • 12

    Correct Answer
    A. 11
    Explanation
    A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Each peptide bond is formed between two amino acids. If a polypeptide contains 10 peptide bonds, it means there are 10 amino acids linked together. However, since the question asks for the total number of amino acids in the polypeptide, we need to consider that there is always one less amino acid than the number of peptide bonds. Therefore, if there are 10 peptide bonds, the polypeptide contains 11 amino acids.

    Two atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons are 

    • Isomers

    • Isotopes

    • Isobars

    • Isotonic

    • Isometric

    Correct Answer
    A. Isotopes
    Explanation
    Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Since the question states that the two atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, it suggests that they are isotopes. Isomers are molecules with the same chemical formula but different structural arrangements, which is not relevant to the question. Isobars are atoms of different elements that have the same mass number, isotonic refers to solutions with the same concentration, and isometric refers to a type of exercise.

    Which of the following is disaccharide

    • Cellulose

    • Fructose

    • Maltose

    • Glycogen

    • Glucose

    Correct Answer
    A. Maltose
    Explanation
    Maltose is a disaccharide because it is made up of two glucose molecules bonded together. Disaccharides are carbohydrates composed of two monosaccharide units joined by a glycosidic bond. Cellulose, glycogen, and glucose are polysaccharides, while fructose is a monosaccharide.

    Which of the following is most important as a means of energy storage in the human body

    • Amino acid

    • Glycolopids

    • Starch

    • Cholesterol

    • Glycogen

    Correct Answer
    A. Glycogen
    Explanation
    Glycogen is the most important means of energy storage in the human body. It is a complex carbohydrate that is stored in the liver and muscles. When the body needs energy, glycogen is broken down into glucose, which can be used by the cells for energy. Glycogen is especially important during times of fasting or intense exercise when the body needs a quick source of energy. It is stored in larger quantities compared to other options listed, such as amino acids, glycolipids, starch, and cholesterol, making it the primary energy storage molecule in the body.

    Protaglandins are a class of

    • Proteins

    • Steroids

    • Carbohydrates

    • Lipids

    • Glands

    Correct Answer
    A. Lipids
    Explanation
    Prostaglandins are a class of lipids. Lipids are a diverse group of molecules that include fats, oils, hormones, and certain components of cell membranes. Prostaglandins are derived from fatty acids and play a crucial role in various physiological processes, such as inflammation, blood clotting, and the regulation of blood pressure. They are not proteins, steroids, carbohydrates, or glands, which makes lipids the correct answer.

    If solution A has a ph of 5 n solution b has 100 times the hydrogen ion concentration of solution a what ph solution b

    • .005

    • .05

    • 3

    • 7

    • 500

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The pH of a solution is a measure of its acidity or alkalinity. It is determined by the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in the solution. In this question, it is stated that solution B has 100 times the hydrogen ion concentration of solution A. Since solution A has a pH of 5, which is slightly acidic, solution B will have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions and therefore a lower pH. A pH of 3 indicates a more acidic solution than a pH of 5, so the correct answer is 3.

    If you stir sugar into a hot drink, you are creating

    • Ionic bonds

    • Suspension

    • Solution

    • Colloid

    • Emulsion

    Correct Answer
    A. Solution
    Explanation
    When you stir sugar into a hot drink, the sugar molecules dissolve in the liquid, forming a homogeneous mixture. This is known as a solution. In a solution, the solute (sugar) is evenly distributed and dispersed throughout the solvent (hot drink), resulting in a clear and transparent mixture. Ionic bonds refer to the electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions, which is not relevant in this scenario. Suspension, colloid, and emulsion involve larger particles that do not dissolve but remain dispersed in the liquid, leading to a cloudy or opaque appearance, which is not the case when sugar dissolves in a hot drink.

    • 37 protons n 37 electrons

    Correct Answer
    A. 74 protons
    Explanation
    The atom number, also known as the atomic number, represents the number of protons in an atom. Since atom X has an atom number of 74, it means that it has 74 protons.
