  • 2. 

    Fertilization is the process by which

    • An egg and a sperm unite to form an embryo.

    • A cell divides in two parts.

    • A kind of regeneration

    • A sperm becomes an embryo.

    • An egg becomes an embryo.

    Correct Answer
    A. An egg and a sperm unite to form an embryo.
    Explanation
    Fertilization is the process by which an egg and a sperm unite to form an embryo. During fertilization, the sperm penetrates the egg and their genetic material combines, resulting in the formation of a zygote. This zygote then undergoes cell division and development to eventually form an embryo. This process is essential for sexual reproduction in many organisms, including humans.

  • 3. 

    What is the organ that controls all other organs and systems.

    • The heart.

    • The nerves.

    • The eyes.

    • The lungs.

    • The brain.

    Correct Answer
    A. The brain.
    Explanation
    The brain is the organ that controls all other organs and systems in the body. It is responsible for processing information, making decisions, and sending signals to different parts of the body. Through its complex network of nerves, the brain regulates bodily functions, such as breathing, digestion, and movement. It also plays a crucial role in cognitive processes, emotions, and memory. The brain is often referred to as the command center of the body, as it coordinates and controls all other organs and systems to maintain overall functioning and homeostasis.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The stages of an animal's growth and change are part of its

    • Life Span

    • Life style

    • Life cycle

    • Instinct

    • Camouflage

    Correct Answer
    A. Life cycle
    Explanation
    The stages of an animal's growth and change refer to its life cycle. The life cycle includes various phases such as birth, growth, reproduction, and death. It encompasses the entire process of development and maturation that an animal goes through from one generation to the next. This term is commonly used to describe the sequence of events and transformations that occur in an organism's life, highlighting the continuous cycle of life and the interconnectedness of different stages.

    The function of the Respiratory System is

    • To bring carbon dioxide to the cells of the body and remove oxygen.

    • To remove solid waste from the body.

    • To bring oxygen into body, remove waste gases out of body.

    • Options A and B are correct.

    • To remove liquid wastes from the body.

    Correct Answer
    A. To bring oxygen into body, remove waste gases out of body.
    Explanation
    The function of the Respiratory System is to bring oxygen into the body and remove waste gases out of the body. This system is responsible for the process of respiration, where oxygen is taken in from the air we breathe and transported to the cells of the body. At the same time, waste gases such as carbon dioxide are removed from the body through exhalation. This exchange of gases is essential for the body's cells to function properly and maintain homeostasis. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the primary function of the respiratory system.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The organ system that removes liquid wastes is called the

    • Respiratory System

    • Digestive System.

    • Muscular System.

    • Excretory system

    • The Nervous System

    Correct Answer
    A. Excretory system
    Explanation
    The excretory system is responsible for removing liquid wastes from the body. This system includes organs such as the kidneys, bladder, and urethra, which filter waste products from the blood and eliminate them through urine. The respiratory system is responsible for gas exchange, not waste removal. The digestive system processes food and absorbs nutrients, but does not primarily remove liquid waste. The muscular system is responsible for movement and does not directly remove waste. The nervous system controls and coordinates body functions, but does not have a specific role in waste removal. Therefore, the correct answer is the excretory system.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Organisms use ______to blend with their surroundings.

    • Wings

    • Adaptation

    • Camouflage

    • Brain

    • Lungs

    Correct Answer
    A. Camouflage
    Explanation
    Organisms use camouflage to blend with their surroundings. Camouflage is a form of adaptation that allows organisms to hide or blend in with their environment, making them less visible to predators or prey. This can involve coloration, patterns, or physical structures that help the organism to blend in with their surroundings, making it more difficult for other organisms to detect them. Wings, brain, and lungs are not directly related to blending with the surroundings, so they are not the correct answer in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The liquid waste of the body..

    • Is called the bili and is excreted by the rectum

    • Is called urine goes from the kidneys down the ureter to be stored in the bladder

    • Is discarded by the nervous system

    • Is a result of toxins and waste chemicals absorbed by the kidneys to be taken out of the body.

    • Answers B and D.

    Correct Answer
    A. Answers B and D.
    Explanation
    The liquid waste of the body is called urine, which is excreted by the kidneys. It goes from the kidneys down the ureter to be stored in the bladder. Urine is a result of toxins and waste chemicals absorbed by the kidneys to be taken out of the body. Therefore, both answer B and D are correct as they both describe the process of urine formation and excretion.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The function of the Circulatory System is

    • Move blood through your body

    • Bring food, water, and oxygen to cells and remove waste.

    • Break down wastes of the body

    • Digest food.

    • Options A and B are correct.

    Correct Answer
    A. Options A and B are correct.
    Explanation
    The circulatory system is responsible for moving blood throughout the body, delivering essential nutrients such as food, water, and oxygen to cells, and removing waste products. It does not play a role in breaking down wastes or digesting food. Therefore, options A and B are correct as they accurately describe the functions of the circulatory system.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The difference between open and closed circulatory systems is

    • Open circulatory systems have blood vessels whereas closed circulatory systems don't.

    • Open circulatory systems have only arteries.

    • Open circulatory systems don't have any blood vessels whereas closed circulatory systems have veins and arteries.

    • Open circulatory systems have only veins.

    • Open circulatory systems are common among vertebrates whereas closed circulatory systems are common among invertebrates.

    Correct Answer
    A. Open circulatory systems don't have any blood vessels whereas closed circulatory systems have veins and arteries.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that open circulatory systems don't have any blood vessels whereas closed circulatory systems have veins and arteries. This is because in open circulatory systems, the circulatory fluid (hemolymph) is pumped into a body cavity called the hemocoel and directly bathes the organs and tissues. There are no distinct blood vessels to transport the hemolymph. In contrast, closed circulatory systems have a network of blood vessels that carry the blood, which is pumped by a heart, to different parts of the body. Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart, while arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.
