Vaccinations simply prime the pump or rather they get your body ready to fight a disease and recognize it once it enters your body, and once you get a vaccination you have resistance but still can acquire the disease.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
This statement explains that vaccinations prepare the body to fight a disease and help it recognize the disease when it enters the body. It also states that getting a vaccination provides resistance to the disease, but it is still possible to acquire the disease. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

Which of the following are used for medical imaging diagnostics?
- A.
Magnetic Resonance Imager
- B.
EKG
- C.
SOB
- D.
PET Scan
- E.
Sonogram
- F.
Giger Counter
- G.
X-Ray Imaging
Correct Answer(s)
A. Magnetic Resonance Imager
B. EKG
D. PET Scan
E. Sonogram
G. X-Ray ImagingExplanation
The correct answer includes Magnetic Resonance Imager, EKG, PET Scan, Sonogram, and X-Ray Imaging. These are all commonly used medical imaging techniques for diagnostic purposes. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body's organs and tissues. EKG (Electrocardiogram) is used to measure the electrical activity of the heart and diagnose heart conditions. PET Scan (Positron Emission Tomography) is a nuclear medicine imaging technique that uses radioactive tracers to visualize metabolic activity in the body. Sonogram, also known as ultrasound, uses sound waves to create images of internal organs and structures. X-Ray Imaging uses electromagnetic radiation to produce images of bones and other dense tissues in the body.Rate this question:

Why do scientist study hominid anatomy and compare this to modern day homosapiens?
- A.
To better understand the origin of certain structural and anatomical characterisitics of modern homosapiens.
- B.
To develope better evidence and knowledge for the theory of human evolution.
- C.
To understand the species and life that lived at different times in the fossil record.
- D.
All of the these.
Correct Answer
D. All of the these.Explanation
Scientists study hominid anatomy and compare it to modern-day Homo sapiens to achieve all of the mentioned objectives. By studying hominid anatomy, scientists can gain insights into the origin of certain structural and anatomical characteristics of modern humans, which helps in understanding human evolution. Additionally, comparing hominid anatomy to modern humans allows scientists to understand the species and life that existed at different times in the fossil record. Therefore, studying hominid anatomy and comparing it to modern-day Homo sapiens serves all of these purposes.Rate this question:

Chromosomes can be found in what cell structure?
Correct Answer
Nucleolus
Nucleus
Cell Nucleus
Cellular NucleusExplanation
Chromosomes can be found in the nucleus of a cell. The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains the genetic material, including the chromosomes. The nucleolus is a structure within the nucleus that is involved in the production of ribosomes, but it does not contain chromosomes. Therefore, the correct answer is Nucleus, as it is the main cell structure where chromosomes are located.Rate this question:

The term posterior refers to what type of view in terms of anatomy?
Correct Answer
A rear view
Rear View
Backside
Rear
Backside ViewExplanation
The term "posterior" in anatomy refers to a rear view or the backside of the body. It is used to describe the position or location of a structure that is towards the back or rear of the body.Rate this question:
- 13.
What is the name of structure A?
Correct Answer
Cell Membrane
MembraneExplanation
The correct answer for the name of structure A is "Cell Membrane" or simply "Membrane." The cell membrane is a thin, flexible barrier that surrounds the cell and separates its internal environment from the external environment. It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis and protecting the cell's internal components. Both "Cell Membrane" and "Membrane" accurately describe this structure.Rate this question:
- 14.
What is structure D responsible for?
Correct Answer
Cellular Energy
Energy
Conversion of ATP
ATP
Adenine Tri PhosphateExplanation
Structure D is responsible for cellular energy, energy, conversion of ATP, ATP, and adenine triphosphate. The options listed are all related to energy production and specifically refer to ATP, which is the primary molecule responsible for storing and transferring energy in cells. Adenine triphosphate is another name for ATP, and the conversion of ATP refers to the process of breaking down ATP to release energy or synthesizing ATP to store energy. Therefore, structure D is involved in the production, conversion, and utilization of cellular energy in the form of ATP.Rate this question:

Which structure is referred to as a gelatinous like material that fills the cell?
Correct Answer
BExplanation
The structure referred to as a gelatinous like material that fills the cell is the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is a thick, jelly-like substance that is found inside the cell membrane. It contains various organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and ribosomes, and also serves as a medium for metabolic reactions and transportation of molecules within the cell.Rate this question:
- 16.
What are the four base pairs for the DNA molecule?
Correct Answer
Adenine Thyamine Cytacine Guanine
Adenine Guanine Cytacine ThyamineExplanation
The four base pairs for the DNA molecule are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine. Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Cytosine pairs with Guanine. These base pairs form the building blocks of DNA and are essential for the replication and transcription of genetic information.Rate this question:
