This process consists of straining particles from a solution.
- A.
Diffusion
- B.
Dehydrate
- C.
Filtration
- D.
Perfusion
Correct Answer
C. FiltrationExplanation
Filtration is the correct answer because it involves the separation of particles from a solution by passing it through a filter. This process is commonly used in various industries and laboratories to remove solid particles or impurities from liquids or gases. By using a filter, larger particles are trapped while the filtered liquid or gas passes through, resulting in a purified solution.Rate this question:

- A.
Diffusion
- B.
Dehydrate
- C.
Filtration
- D.
Homeostasis
Correct Answer
A. DiffusionExplanation
Diffusion is the process in which molecules of a substance move from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration. It occurs due to the random motion of molecules and does not require any external energy input. This movement of molecules helps to equalize the concentration of the substance throughout the medium.Rate this question:

- A.
Perfusion
- B.
Biology
- C.
Filtration
- D.
Homeostasis
Correct Answer
D. HomeostasisExplanation
Homeostasis refers to the state of balance or stability maintained in the body's internal environment. It involves various physiological processes that work together to regulate body temperature, pH levels, blood pressure, and other vital parameters within a narrow range. This ensures that the body functions optimally and is able to respond to changes in the external environment. Homeostasis is crucial for the overall health and well-being of an organism.Rate this question:

Ectomorph
Correct Answer
B. SomatotrophicExplanation
The term "somatotrophic" refers to the stimulation of body growth. This term is derived from "soma," which means body, and "trophic," which means nourishment or stimulation. Therefore, somatotrophic is the correct answer as it specifically relates to the stimulation of body growth.Rate this question:

What is the correct order of organization of all living things from simplest to most complex?
- A.
Atom -> cell -> organ -> organelle-> organ system-> organism-> molecule-> tissue
- B.
Atom -> molecule -> organelle -> cell -> tissue -> organ -> organ system -> organism
- C.

Tissue that is specialized to cover the inner and outer surfaces of the internal organs is called
- A.
Epithelial tissue.
- B.
Connective tissue.
- C.
Muscle tissue.
- D.
Nervous tissue.
Correct Answer
A. Epithelial tissue.Explanation
Epithelial tissue is specialized to cover the inner and outer surfaces of the internal organs. It forms a protective barrier that helps to prevent damage and infection. Epithelial tissue is made up of tightly packed cells that are arranged in layers and can be found in various forms such as squamous, cuboidal, and columnar. It also has the ability to secrete and absorb substances, making it essential for the proper functioning of organs and maintaining homeostasis within the body. Connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue have different functions and are not specialized for covering surfaces like epithelial tissue.Rate this question:

Blood, bone, and cartilage are examples of
- A.
Three different tissue types.
- B.
Connective tissue.
- C.
Epithelial tissue.
- D.
Organs of the body.
Correct Answer
B. Connective tissue.Explanation
Blood, bone, and cartilage are examples of connective tissue because connective tissue is a type of biological tissue that provides support, structure, and protection to the body. It connects and binds different organs and tissues together. Blood is a fluid connective tissue, bone is a specialized connective tissue that provides structural support, and cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in various parts of the body. Therefore, all three examples mentioned are types of connective tissue.Rate this question:
-
- 16.
Connective tissues include
- A.
Tendons that connect muscle to bone.
- B.
The layer beneath your skin that connects the skin to muscle.
- C.
Fat.
- D.
All of the answer choices are correct
Correct Answer
A. Tendons that connect muscle to bone.Explanation
Connective tissues include tendons that connect muscle to bone. Tendons are strong, fibrous tissues that attach muscles to bones, allowing for movement and stability. They are responsible for transmitting the force generated by muscles to the bones, enabling us to perform various physical activities. Other connective tissues mentioned, such as the layer beneath the skin that connects it to muscle and fat, are not specifically responsible for connecting muscle to bone. Therefore, the correct answer is tendons that connect muscle to bone.Rate this question:

Which of the following is a function of BOTH the excretory system and the digestive system?
- A.
Regulating metabolism
- B.
Eliminating wastes
- C.
Regulating other organ systems
- D.
Maintaining homeostasis
Correct Answer
B. Eliminating wastesExplanation
The excretory system and the digestive system both play a role in eliminating wastes from the body. The excretory system removes metabolic waste products, such as urea, from the blood and eliminates them through urine. The digestive system breaks down food and absorbs nutrients, while also eliminating indigestible waste material through feces. Therefore, eliminating wastes is a function that is performed by both systems.Rate this question:

An organelle found in a liver cell would best be identified as a lysosome if its primary function was which of the following?
- A.
Processing and packaging of cellular materials prior to export
- B.
Harvesting of light energy to produce carbohydrates
- C.
Detoxification of poisonous molecules within the cell
- D.
Digestion of macromolecules and old organelles
Correct Answer
D. Digestion of macromolecules and old organellesExplanation
The correct answer is "Digestion of macromolecules and old organelles". Lysosomes are responsible for breaking down and digesting macromolecules and old organelles within the cell. They contain enzymes that can break down various types of molecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. This process helps to recycle and reuse cellular components, as well as eliminate waste materials. Therefore, if an organelle found in a liver cell is primarily involved in the digestion of macromolecules and old organelles, it would be best identified as a lysosome.Rate this question:

A muscle cell would typically contain more mitochondria than a liver cell. Why?
- A.
The mitochondria provides energy for muscle contraction.
- B.
The mitochondria generates harmful byproducts that would be toxic to the liver.
- C.
The mitochondria breaks down large molecules and invading bacteria inside the liver.
- D.
The mitochondria provides structure and stability needed for muscle contraction.
Correct Answer
A. The mitochondria provides energy for muscle contraction.Explanation
Muscle cells require a large amount of energy for contraction. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell and are responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. Therefore, muscle cells would typically contain more mitochondria to meet their high energy demands compared to liver cells, which have different functions and do not require as much energy for their activities.Rate this question:

Which physiological system includes the lungs, trachea, and pharynx?
- A.
Endocrine
- B.
Nervous
- C.
Circulatory
- D.
Reproductive
- E.
Respiratory
Correct Answer
E. RespiratoryExplanation
The physiological system that includes the lungs, trachea, and pharynx is the respiratory system. This system is responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body, allowing for breathing and the delivery of oxygen to the cells. The lungs are the main organs of this system, while the trachea and pharynx help to transport air to and from the lungs.Rate this question:
