All of the following conditions may be affected by reproductive hormones EXCEPT ?
- A.
Changes in hair texture
- B.
Acne
- C.
Darker skin pigmentations
- D.
Loss of scalp hair
Correct Answer
A. Changes in hair textureExplanation
Reproductive hormones can affect various aspects of the body, including the skin and hair. Acne can be influenced by hormonal changes, as increased levels of androgens can stimulate the production of sebum, leading to clogged pores and acne formation. Darker skin pigmentations can also be influenced by hormonal changes, as melanin production can be affected. Similarly, the loss of scalp hair can be caused by hormonal imbalances, such as increased levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in conditions like androgenetic alopecia. However, changes in hair texture are not typically associated with reproductive hormones.Rate this question:

What color is the blood found in veins ?
- A.
Dark red
- B.
Bright red
- C.
Blue
- D.
Black
Correct Answer
A. Dark redExplanation
The blood found in veins is dark red because it has already delivered oxygen to the body's tissues and organs and is now carrying carbon dioxide back to the heart and lungs to be exhaled. This deoxygenated blood appears darker in color compared to oxygenated blood, which is bright red.Rate this question:

The cell does NOT need an adequate supply of _______ for mitosis to occur ?
- A.
Waste products
- B.
Oxygen
- C.
Water
- D.
Food
Correct Answer
A. Waste productsExplanation
Mitosis is the process of cell division, during which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This process does not require an adequate supply of waste products for it to occur. Waste products are byproducts of cellular metabolism that need to be eliminated from the cell. However, for mitosis to occur, the cell primarily requires a sufficient supply of nutrients such as oxygen, water, and food, which are essential for the cell's growth and division. Therefore, waste products are not necessary for mitosis to take place.Rate this question:

Which of these is NOT an endocrine gland ?
- A.
Pineal gland
- B.
Pinuitary gland
- C.
Thyroid gland
- D.
Oil glands of the skin
Correct Answer
D. Oil glands of the skinExplanation
Oil glands of the skin are not considered endocrine glands because they do not secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. Endocrine glands, such as the pineal gland, pituitary gland, and thyroid gland, release hormones into the bloodstream to regulate various bodily functions. However, oil glands of the skin, also known as sebaceous glands, secrete sebum, which is an oily substance that helps lubricate and protect the skin. While sebum plays a role in maintaining healthy skin, it does not function as a hormone and therefore does not qualify as an endocrine gland.Rate this question:
