Glucose is a source for the production of ATP
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Glucose is a source for the production of ATP because it is broken down through a series of chemical reactions in the process of cellular respiration. This breakdown of glucose releases energy that is used to produce ATP, which is the main energy currency of cells. Therefore, glucose serves as a fuel source for the production of ATP, making the statement "Glucose is a source for the production of ATP" true.Rate this question:

Proteins are synthesised in ribosomes
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Proteins are indeed synthesized in ribosomes. Ribosomes are cellular structures responsible for the process of protein synthesis, where the genetic information encoded in the DNA is transcribed into mRNA and then translated into a specific sequence of amino acids to form a protein. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, with ribosomes serving as the site where the mRNA is read and the amino acids are assembled into a polypeptide chain, ultimately forming a functional protein. Therefore, the statement "Proteins are synthesized in ribosomes" is true.Rate this question:

Exocytosis involves the Golgi complex
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Exocytosis is a cellular process in which materials are transported out of the cell through the fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane. The Golgi complex plays a crucial role in exocytosis by modifying, sorting, and packaging molecules into vesicles for transport. These vesicles then fuse with the plasma membrane, releasing their contents outside the cell. Therefore, it is correct to say that exocytosis involves the Golgi complex.Rate this question:

The digestive tract contains simple cuboidal and columnar epithelia
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The digestive tract is lined with simple cuboidal and columnar epithelial cells. These types of cells are well-suited for absorption and secretion, which are important functions in the digestive system. The cuboidal epithelium is found in areas where secretion and absorption occur, while the columnar epithelium is found in areas where absorption is the primary function. Therefore, the statement that the digestive tract contains simple cuboidal and columnar epithelia is true.Rate this question:

The release of energy from glucose is done through cell respiration
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Cell respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose molecules to release energy in the form of ATP. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves a series of biochemical reactions. Glucose is converted into carbon dioxide and water, and in the process, energy is released. This energy is then used by the cell to carry out various functions. Therefore, the statement that the release of energy from glucose is done through cell respiration is true.Rate this question:

Plasma is yellow
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement "Plasma is yellow" is true. Plasma, which is the fourth state of matter, can emit various colors depending on its temperature and composition. At high temperatures, plasma can emit a yellowish color. This is observed in phenomena such as lightning, where the high energy causes the gas to ionize and emit a yellow glow. Additionally, in plasma TVs, the gas inside the screen is ionized to produce a yellowish color. Therefore, the statement is correct.Rate this question:

The ground substance of cartilage has high resilience
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that provides support and flexibility to various structures in the body. The ground substance of cartilage refers to the gel-like material that fills the spaces between the cells. This ground substance is composed of water, proteoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans, which give cartilage its unique properties. One of these properties is high resilience, meaning that cartilage can withstand compression and quickly return to its original shape after being deformed. Therefore, the statement that the ground substance of cartilage has high resilience is true.Rate this question:
