The "protein factories" of the cell are the:
- A.
Golgi apparatus
- B.
Ribosomes
- C.
Mitochondria
- D.
Lysosomes
Correct Answer
B. RibosomesExplanation
Ribosomes are known as the "protein factories" of the cell because they are responsible for protein synthesis. These small organelles are found in the cytoplasm and on the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes read the genetic information from the DNA and use it to assemble amino acids into proteins. They play a crucial role in cell growth, repair, and maintenance. The other organelles listed, such as the golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and lysosomes, have different functions within the cell and are not directly involved in protein synthesis.Rate this question:

Two of these rod-shaped structures exist in every cell
- A.
Cilia
- B.
Lysosomes
- C.
Robosomes
- D.
Centrioles
Correct Answer
D. CentriolesExplanation
Centrioles are rod-shaped structures that exist in every cell. They play a crucial role in cell division by organizing the microtubules that form the spindle apparatus. This apparatus helps in separating the chromosomes during cell division. Centrioles are typically found in pairs and are located in a region called the centrosome. Their presence in every cell makes them a correct answer to the question. Cilia, lysosomes, and ribosomes are also cellular structures, but they do not exist in every cell, making them incorrect options.Rate this question:

Which choice functions in cell reproduction?
- A.
Cholesterol
- B.
Nucleus
- C.
Centrioles
- D.
Plasma membrane
Correct Answer
C. CentriolesExplanation
Centrioles are the choice that functions in cell reproduction. Centrioles play a crucial role in cell division by organizing and guiding the formation of the mitotic spindle, which helps in the separation of chromosomes during cell division. They are responsible for ensuring that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes. Therefore, centrioles are directly involved in the process of cell reproduction.Rate this question:

This/these are the "chemical processing and packing centers" of cells
- A.
Mitochondria
- B.
Ribosomes
- C.
Endoplasmic reticulum
- D.
Golgi apparatus
Correct Answer
D. Golgi apparatusExplanation
The Golgi apparatus is responsible for chemical processing and packing in cells. It receives proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum and modifies them, adding carbohydrates and other molecules to create functional molecules. It then packages these molecules into vesicles for transport to other parts of the cell or for secretion outside of the cell. The Golgi apparatus plays a crucial role in sorting, modifying, and packaging molecules, making it the correct answer for this question.Rate this question:

Stratified squamous epithelium assists the body by providing
- A.
Protection against invasion by microorganisms
- B.
Anchors for our bones
- C.
Support for the body
- D.
Contractility
Correct Answer
A. Protection against invasion by microorganismsExplanation
Stratified squamous epithelium is a type of tissue that is found in areas of the body that are subjected to mechanical stress and potential invasion by microorganisms, such as the skin and the lining of the oral cavity. This type of epithelium consists of multiple layers of flat cells that provide a strong barrier against the entry of microorganisms. The cells in the outermost layer of the epithelium are constantly being shed and replaced, ensuring that any microorganisms that may have attached to the surface are removed. Therefore, the correct answer is "protection against invasion by microorganisms".Rate this question:

Is the sequence of base pairs in each gene of each chromosome that determines
- A.
Anaphase
- B.
Translation
- C.
Heredity
- D.
Thymine
Correct Answer
C. HeredityExplanation
The sequence of base pairs in each gene of each chromosome determines heredity. Genes are made up of DNA, and the order of the base pairs in the DNA sequence determines the genetic code. This genetic code contains instructions for building and maintaining an organism, including traits that are passed down from parents to offspring. Therefore, the sequence of base pairs in each gene on each chromosome plays a crucial role in determining the hereditary characteristics of an individual.Rate this question:

Osmosis is the ________ of water across a selectively permeable membrane when some of the solutes cannot cross the membrane.
- A.
Diffusion
- B.
Equilibrium
- C.
Active transport
- D.
Filtration
Correct Answer
A. DiffusionExplanation
Osmosis is the process of water moving across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. In this process, the solutes themselves do not cross the membrane. Diffusion, on the other hand, is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Since osmosis involves the movement of water molecules, it is a type of diffusion. Therefore, diffusion is the correct answer.Rate this question:
-
- 10.
The energy required for active transport process is obtained from
- A.
Diffusion
- B.
Osmosis
- C.
DNA
- D.
ATP
Correct Answer
D. ATPExplanation
Active transport is a process that requires energy to move molecules or ions across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the main source of energy for cellular processes, including active transport. ATP molecules are broken down by enzymes, releasing energy that is used to power the active transport process. Therefore, ATP is the correct answer as it provides the energy required for active transport.Rate this question:

Is the function of blood transportation?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Blood transportation is a vital function of the circulatory system. Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body, ensuring that all organs and tissues receive what they need and waste is removed. It transports oxygen from the lungs to the cells and carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs for exhalation. Additionally, blood transports nutrients absorbed from the digestive system to cells, carries hormones produced by glands to their target organs, and helps regulate body temperature. Therefore, the statement "The function of blood is transportation" is true.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. ConnectiveExplanation
Blood is classified as connective tissue because it consists of cells suspended in a liquid extracellular matrix called plasma. Connective tissues are characterized by their ability to connect, support, and protect other tissues and organs in the body. In the case of blood, it connects various parts of the body by transporting oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products. Additionally, blood also plays a role in immune responses, clotting, and maintaining homeostasis.Rate this question:

Which of the following is NOT an accessory organ of the female reproductive system?
- A.
Vagina
- B.
Gonads
- C.
Mammary glands
- D.
Fallopian tubes
Correct Answer
B. GonadsExplanation
Gonads are not an accessory organ of the female reproductive system. The gonads, which are the ovaries in females, are primary reproductive organs responsible for producing eggs and sex hormones. The vagina, mammary glands, and fallopian tubes are all accessory organs that support the reproductive process. The vagina serves as the birth canal and receives the penis during sexual intercourse. The mammary glands produce milk for breastfeeding. The fallopian tubes transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus for fertilization.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. HormonesExplanation
The integumentary system is responsible for protecting the body from external factors. It includes various appendages such as nails, sweat glands, and oil-producing glands, which play a role in maintaining the health and function of the skin. However, hormones are not considered appendages of the integumentary system. Hormones are chemical messengers produced by various glands in the body, such as the endocrine glands, and they regulate various bodily functions.

Correct Answer
C. LiverExplanation
The liver is not a primary organ of the digestive system. While it plays a crucial role in digestion by producing bile, which helps break down fats, it is not directly involved in the physical breakdown or absorption of food. The primary organs of the digestive system are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines, where the majority of digestion and absorption occur. The rectum, although not a primary organ, is part of the digestive system as it is responsible for storing and eliminating waste.Rate this question:
