Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    HCl is a very strong acid. If the concentration of HCl is 0.1M, you can assume that there are 0.1M H+ ions in the solution. What would the pH of that solution be?

    • A.

      1

    • B.

      0

    • C.

      10

    • D.

      2

    • E.

      -1

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    The pH of a solution is a measure of its acidity or alkalinity. It is calculated using the formula pH = -log[H+]. In this case, the concentration of H+ ions is given as 0.1M. Taking the negative logarithm of 0.1 gives a pH value of 1. This means that the solution is highly acidic.

    A buffered solution at 7.0 is distrubed by the addition of HCl. How will it manage to stay at a pH of 7?

    • A.

      Weak acid of the buffer will add more H+

    • B.

      Weak acid of the buffer will remove H+

    • C.

      Weak base of the buffer will add more H+

    • D.

      Weak base of the buffer will remove H+

    Correct Answer
    D. Weak base of the buffer will remove H+
    Explanation
    When HCl is added to the buffered solution, it will release H+ ions. The weak base in the buffer will then react with these H+ ions, forming water and removing them from the solution. This reaction helps to maintain the pH of the solution at 7. Therefore, the weak base of the buffer will remove H+ ions to keep the pH at 7.

    If you add HCl to distilled water, the pH of the water would go..

    • A.

      Up

    • B.

      Down

    • C.

      Would not change

    • D.

      Barney Stinson was here.

    Correct Answer
    B. Down
    Explanation
    When HCl is added to distilled water, it dissociates into H+ and Cl- ions. The presence of H+ ions increases the concentration of hydrogen ions in the water, making it more acidic. As a result, the pH of the water decreases, indicating an increase in acidity. Therefore, the correct answer is "down".

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    A pH of 3 would have which molarity of H+?

    • A.

      3000M

    • B.

      1000M

    • C.

      0.003M

    • D.

      0.001M

    • E.

      3M

    Correct Answer
    D. 0.001M
    Explanation
    A pH of 3 indicates a high concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. The pH scale is logarithmic, meaning that each unit represents a tenfold difference in concentration. Therefore, a pH of 3 corresponds to a molarity of 0.001M for H+ ions.

    Which of the following would be classified as hydrophobic?

    • A.

      Glucose

    • B.

      Sucrose

    • C.

      NaCl

    • D.

      Lon chain fatty acid

    • E.

      Pepsin

    Correct Answer
    D. Lon chain fatty acid
    Explanation
    A long chain fatty acid would be classified as hydrophobic because it is nonpolar and does not dissolve in water. Hydrophobic substances tend to repel water and are insoluble in it. Glucose and sucrose are both carbohydrates that are hydrophilic, meaning they dissolve in water. NaCl, also known as table salt, is an ionic compound that dissociates into ions in water and is therefore hydrophilic. Pepsin is an enzyme that is also hydrophilic and soluble in water.

    Which of the following elements would for a non-polar covalent bond?

    • A.

      C-O

    • B.

      C-N

    • C.

      N-O

    • D.

      N-N

    Correct Answer
    D. N-N
    Explanation
    N-N would form a non-polar covalent bond because both nitrogen atoms have the same electronegativity, meaning they have an equal attraction for the shared electrons. In a non-polar covalent bond, the electrons are shared equally between the atoms, resulting in a balanced distribution of charge and no partial charges.

    • C.

      7.35

    • D.

      4

    Correct Answer
    A. 7
    Explanation
    Distilled water is considered neutral because it has an equal concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-), resulting in a pH of 7. This means that the solution is neither acidic nor alkaline.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

     If CO2 is added to water, the pH will..

    • A.

      Go up

    • B.

      Go down

    • C.

      Not change

    • D.

      Barney Stinson.

    Correct Answer
    B. Go down
    Explanation
    When CO2 is added to water, it reacts with water molecules to form carbonic acid (H2CO3). This carbonic acid dissociates into hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-). The increase in hydrogen ions leads to an increase in acidity, causing the pH of the water to decrease. Therefore, the correct answer is "go down."

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Adding bicarbonate to a solution will cause the pH to..

    • A.

      Go up

    • B.

      Go down

    • C.

      Not change

    • D.

      Barney Stinson.

    Correct Answer
    A. Go up
    Explanation
    When bicarbonate is added to a solution, it acts as a base and reacts with water to release hydroxide ions (OH-). The increase in hydroxide ions leads to an increase in the concentration of hydroxide ions relative to the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+), resulting in a higher pH. Therefore, adding bicarbonate to a solution causes the pH to go up.

    • E.

      White blood cell

    Correct Answer
    B. Red blood cell
    Explanation
    Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, do not have a nucleus. During their maturation process, the nucleus is expelled to make more space for the oxygen-carrying protein called hemoglobin. This absence of a nucleus allows red blood cells to have a biconcave shape, which increases their surface area and enhances their ability to transport oxygen efficiently.

    Concerning intracellular and extracellular fluid, we know that extracellular fluid contains..

    • A.

      More K+

    • B.

      More Na+

    • C.

      More phosphate

    • D.

      More magnesium

    • E.

      All are true

    Correct Answer
    B. More Na+
    Explanation
    Extracellular fluid contains more Na+ because Na+ is the primary cation in extracellular fluid, while K+ is the primary cation in intracellular fluid. This is due to the sodium-potassium pump, which actively transports Na+ out of the cell and K+ into the cell, maintaining the concentration gradient. Therefore, it is true that extracellular fluid contains more Na+.

    During which phase of mitosis do the centromeres line up along the equater of the cell?

    • A.

      Interphase

    • B.

      Prophase

    • C.

      Metaphase

    • D.

      Anaphase

    • E.

      Telophase

    Correct Answer
    C. Metaphase
    Explanation
    During metaphase of mitosis, the centromeres line up along the equator of the cell. This is the stage where the chromosomes, consisting of two sister chromatids, are fully condensed and attached to spindle fibers. The centromeres are located at the center of each chromosome and are responsible for connecting the sister chromatids. The alignment of centromeres at the equator ensures that the sister chromatids will be separated correctly during the subsequent stage of mitosis, anaphase. This alignment is essential for the equal distribution of genetic material to the daughter cells.

  • 17. 

    If a cell has 46 chromosomes, how many centrosomes would it have when it is in metaphase?

    • A.

      46

    • B.

      23

    • C.

      1

    • D.

      2

    Correct Answer
    D. 2
    Explanation
    During metaphase, the cell's chromosomes align in the middle of the cell. Each chromosome is attached to a spindle fiber by a structure called a centromere. Since a cell with 46 chromosomes would have 2 copies of each chromosome, it would also have 2 centrosomes, one at each end of the cell, each responsible for organizing the spindle fibers and ensuring proper chromosome alignment during cell division.

    If a patient has a cut on the same arm as a previous cut, then it is...

    • A.

      Bilateral

    • B.

      Ipsilateral

    • C.

      Contralateral

    Correct Answer
    B. Ipsilateral
    Explanation
    If a patient has a cut on the same arm as a previous cut, it is considered ipsilateral. Ipsilateral refers to something occurring on the same side of the body. In this case, both cuts are on the same arm, indicating that they are on the same side of the body.

      Ipsilateral

    • C.

      Contralateral

    Correct Answer
    A. Bilateral
    Explanation
    If a patient has breast cancer in both breasts, it is referred to as bilateral. This term indicates that the cancer is present in both sides of the body, specifically in both breasts. It distinguishes from ipsilateral, which means the cancer is present in the same side of the body, and contralateral, which means the cancer is present in the opposite side of the body.

      Bilateral

    • B.

      Ipsilateral

    • C.

      Contralateral

    Correct Answer
    C. Contralateral
    Explanation
    Contralateral refers to the opposite side of the body. In this scenario, the patient had a leg cut off on one side, and now they have to have a finger cut off on the opposite side. Therefore, the finger cut off is on the contralateral side to the leg that was previously cut off.

    If you cut a body into a cross section, it is....

    • A.

      Transverse

    • B.

      Sagittal

    • C.

      Frontal

    Correct Answer
    A. Transverse
    Explanation
    When a body is cut into a cross section, it means that the cut is made perpendicular to the long axis of the body. In this case, the correct answer is "transverse" because a transverse cut divides the body into upper and lower portions, creating a cross-section. A sagittal cut would divide the body into left and right portions, while a frontal cut would divide the body into front and back portions.

    • A.

      Transverse

    • B.

      Sagittal

    • C.

      Frontal

    Correct Answer
    C. Frontal
    Explanation
    If you cut a body into anterior and posterior parts, it would be considered a frontal cut. A frontal cut divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) sections. This type of cut is also known as a coronal plane, and it is used to study the body's structures from a front-to-back perspective.

    If you cut a body into left and right halves, it would be...

    • A.

      Transverse

    • B.

      Sagittal

    • C.

      Frontal

    Correct Answer
    B. Sagittal
    Explanation
    If you cut a body into left and right halves, it would be sagittal. Sagittal refers to a plane that divides the body into left and right portions. In this case, the body is being divided into two halves along a vertical plane, separating it into left and right sides. Transverse refers to a plane that divides the body into upper and lower portions, while frontal refers to a plane that divides the body into front and back portions.

    The body cavity consisting of two cavities, both lined by meninges and containing the brain and spinal cord is..

    • A.

      Ventral

    • B.

      Dorsal

    • C.

      Mediastinum

    Correct Answer
    B. Dorsal
    Explanation
    The correct answer is dorsal. The dorsal body cavity consists of two cavities, the cranial cavity and the vertebral cavity. Both cavities are lined by meninges and contain the brain and spinal cord. The term "dorsal" refers to the back or posterior side of the body, which is where the cranial and vertebral cavities are located.

    The body cavity consisting of two main cavities seperated by the diaphragm is...

    • A.

      Ventral

    • B.

      Dorsal

    • C.

      Mediastinum

    Correct Answer
    A. Ventral
    Explanation
    The correct answer is ventral because the body cavity consists of two main cavities, the ventral cavity and the dorsal cavity, which are separated by the diaphragm. The ventral cavity is located in the front of the body and contains organs such as the heart, lungs, and digestive organs. The dorsal cavity, on the other hand, is located in the back of the body and contains organs such as the brain and spinal cord. Therefore, the ventral cavity is the correct answer in this case.
