    The second part of the digestive system is; Asaphagus The long tube between the mouth and the stomach. It uses rhythmic muscle movements to force food down.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The second part of the digestive system is the esophagus, which is a long tube connecting the mouth and the stomach. It uses rhythmic muscle movements, known as peristalsis, to push food down from the mouth to the stomach. This allows for the transportation of food and ensures that it reaches the stomach for further digestion.

    2 Chambered Heart? - ProProfs

    2 Chambered Heart?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A 2 chambered heart refers to a heart that has two chambers, namely the atrium and the ventricle. This type of heart is found in some lower vertebrates, such as fish. In a 2 chambered heart, the atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body, while the ventricle pumps this blood to the gills for oxygenation. Therefore, the statement "True" implies that a 2 chambered heart does exist.

    Most complicated is Mammals. They have a spinal cord, need oxygen and have high developed teeth.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement is true because mammals do have a spinal cord, require oxygen to survive, and possess highly developed teeth. These characteristics are unique to mammals and distinguish them from other animal groups. The presence of a spinal cord indicates that mammals are vertebrates, and their reliance on oxygen is due to their complex respiratory systems. Additionally, mammals have evolved specialized teeth that are adapted to their specific diets, which contributes to their success as a diverse and widespread group of animals.

    Amphibians as they age NEED oxygen.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    As amphibians age, their oxygen requirements increase. This is because their metabolism slows down, making it harder for them to extract oxygen from their environment. Additionally, older amphibians may have reduced lung capacity or other respiratory issues, further increasing their need for oxygen. Therefore, it is true that amphibians as they age need oxygen.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The gall bladder stores bile which is released into the small intestine.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The gall bladder is a small organ located beneath the liver. Its main function is to store and concentrate bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. When food enters the small intestine, the gall bladder contracts and releases bile into the intestine. Bile helps in the digestion and absorption of fats by breaking them down into smaller molecules. Therefore, the statement that the gall bladder stores bile and releases it into the small intestine is true.

    The least complex class of vertebrates is... 

    • Invertebrates

    • Hagfish and Lamprey

    • Animalia

    • Sharks, Rays, and Skates; because they have a skeleton.

    Correct Answer
    A. Hagfish and Lamprey
    Explanation
    Hagfish and Lamprey are considered the least complex class of vertebrates because they lack jaws and paired fins, making them more primitive compared to other vertebrates. They also have a cartilaginous skeleton instead of a bony skeleton like sharks, rays, and skates. Therefore, the answer is Hagfish and Lamprey.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Sharks, Rays, and Skates have a ______________ chambered heart.

    Correct Answer
    two
    2
    Explanation
    Sharks, Rays, and Skates have a two-chambered heart. This means that their heart consists of two chambers: one atrium and one ventricle. In this type of heart, blood flows in a single circuit, where it is pumped from the heart to the gills to be oxygenated, and then circulated throughout the body. Unlike mammals and birds, which have a four-chambered heart, the two-chambered heart of sharks, rays, and skates is less efficient in separating oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, but still allows for effective oxygenation and circulation in their aquatic environment.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Reptiles have a spinal cord. [Backbone]

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Reptiles have a spinal cord, which is a long, tubular structure that runs along their back and is responsible for transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body. The spinal cord is protected by the vertebral column, also known as the backbone. Therefore, it can be concluded that the statement "Reptiles have a spinal cord" is true.

  • 12. 

    3 Chambered Heart The body releases deoxygnated blood into the left ventricle 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the body releases deoxygenated blood into the right ventricle, not the left ventricle. In a three-chambered heart, deoxygenated blood from the body enters the right atrium and then flows into the right ventricle, which pumps the blood to the lungs for oxygenation. Oxygenated blood from the lungs then enters the left atrium and flows into the left ventricle, which pumps the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Stomach is attached to the esophagus. It's churned in a nice, tasty acid bath.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the stomach is indeed attached to the esophagus. The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach, allowing food and liquids to pass through. Once food enters the stomach, it undergoes a process called churning, where it is mixed and broken down by the stomach's muscular walls. The stomach also secretes gastric acid, which aids in the digestion of food. So, the statement accurately describes the relationship between the stomach and the esophagus and the process of digestion that occurs in the stomach.

    The only difference in a 3.5 chambered heart is that the ventricle is split and oxygenated blood goes into the body.

    • True

    • False dexoygenated blood goes into the body

    • Reptiles have a 2 chambered heart

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because in a 3.5 chambered heart, the ventricle is split, allowing for the separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. The oxygenated blood is then pumped into the body, while the deoxygenated blood is sent to the lungs for oxygenation. This is different from a 2 chambered heart found in reptiles, where there is no separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    A 3 Chambered Heart includes a RA Venticle and a Left Ventricle

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A 3 chambered heart includes a right atrium ventricle and a left ventricle. This means that the heart has two ventricles, one on the right side and one on the left side, along with a single atrium. This arrangement allows for the separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to some extent, but not as efficiently as a four-chambered heart found in mammals and birds. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    A 4 chhambered heart includes;

    • RA and RV (Right Atria and Right Ventricle)

    • Deoxyginated blood goes into lungs

    • LA takes in Oxygenated Blood

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The statement "A 4 chambered heart includes RA and RV (Right Atria and Right Ventricle), Deoxyginated blood goes into lungs, LA takes in Oxygenated Blood" is correct because a 4-chambered heart consists of two atria (including the right atrium) and two ventricles (including the right ventricle). The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body, which is then pumped into the lungs by the right ventricle to be oxygenated. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs, which is then pumped into the body by the left ventricle. Therefore, all the given statements are true for a 4-chambered heart.

    Rate this question:

    Your gall bladder is behind your liver. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The gall bladder is indeed located behind the liver. It is a small organ that stores bile produced by the liver and releases it into the small intestine to aid in digestion. The positioning of the gall bladder behind the liver allows for easy transportation of bile through the bile ducts.

    Check off the INCORRECT fact about Bony Fish.

    • Made of Multiple Bones

    • Born from a fish egg

    • Ex. A Wobblegong Shark in Australia

    • Basic Digestive System

    Correct Answer
    A. Ex. A Wobblegong Shark in Australia
    Explanation
    The given answer, "ex. A Wobblegong Shark in Australia," is incorrect because Wobblegong Sharks are not classified as Bony Fish. They belong to the family of Carpet Sharks, which have a cartilaginous skeleton instead of bones. Bony Fish, on the other hand, have skeletons made of multiple bones. Therefore, this statement contradicts the fact that Bony Fish are made of multiple bones.

    The _______ is directly behind the stomach

    • Pancreas

    • Gall Bladder

    Correct Answer
    A. Pancreas
    Explanation
    The pancreas is located directly behind the stomach. It is an organ that plays a crucial role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. It produces enzymes that aid in the breakdown of food in the small intestine and also produces insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels. The proximity of the pancreas to the stomach allows for efficient secretion of digestive enzymes into the digestive tract.

    The effects of being cold blooded are... Faster in heat. Normal in cold.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Being cold-blooded means that an organism's body temperature is regulated by the environment, rather than internally. This means that cold-blooded animals are not able to maintain a constant body temperature in cold conditions, causing their bodily functions to slow down. Therefore, the statement that being cold-blooded is normal in cold conditions is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    Fish have a 2 chambered heart, check off the correct statement

    • Have a ventricle and an Atria

    • Gills take in oxygen and body releases CO2 which goes into deoxyginated blood

    • It's a single loop

    • The Atria is first then the Ventricle is second

    • All the above are true

    Correct Answer
    A. All the above are true
    Explanation
    All the statements mentioned are true. Fish have a 2 chambered heart consisting of a ventricle and an atria. The gills in fish are responsible for taking in oxygen from the water and releasing carbon dioxide, which then goes into the deoxygenated blood. The circulatory system in fish follows a single loop, where the blood flows from the heart to the gills, then to the rest of the body, and finally back to the heart. In this loop, the atria contracts first, followed by the ventricle. Therefore, all the statements provided are correct.

    ____________ The first part of the digestive system. Chewing and salviary enzymes in the mouth go through the digestive process (breaking down the food).

    Correct Answer
    Mouth
    Explanation
    The mouth is the first part of the digestive system where the process of digestion begins. Chewing helps to break down the food into smaller pieces, increasing the surface area for enzymes to act upon. Salivary enzymes, such as amylase, start the process of breaking down carbohydrates in the food. Therefore, the mouth plays a crucial role in the initial stages of digestion.

    Hagfish and Lamprey are...

    • Parasitic

    • Blood Suckers; ex. Leeches

    • Surface Feeders

    Correct Answer
    A. Parasitic
    Explanation
    Hagfish and lamprey are considered parasitic because they both rely on other organisms for their survival. They attach themselves to the bodies of other fish and feed on their blood or body fluids. This parasitic behavior is similar to that of leeches, which also feed on the blood of their hosts. Therefore, the correct answer is "Parasitic."

    The _________ is the long tube that carries excret into your bum hole. EWWWWW.

    • Colon

    • Rectum

    Correct Answer
    A. Colon
    Explanation
    The colon is the long tube that carries waste material, or excret, into the rectum. It is responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes from the remaining digested food, forming solid waste called feces. The rectum, on the other hand, is the final section of the large intestine, where feces are stored before being eliminated through the anus.

    3 Chambered Heart The body releases deoxygnated blood into the left ventricle 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false because the body releases deoxygenated blood into the right ventricle, not the left ventricle. In a three-chambered heart, deoxygenated blood is pumped from the body into the right atrium, then into the right ventricle, and finally to the lungs for oxygenation. The oxygenated blood is then returned to the left atrium and left ventricle before being pumped out to the rest of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    Amphibians and there 3 Chambered Heart; (check corrected statements)

    • 2 Loops

    • One Ventricle

    • A Ventricle that releases mixed blood

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. 2 Loops
    A. One Ventricle
    A. A Ventricle that releases mixed blood
    Explanation
    Amphibians have a 3-chambered heart, consisting of two loops and one ventricle. The two loops refer to the pulmonary and systemic loops, which are responsible for carrying oxygenated and deoxygenated blood throughout the body. The single ventricle releases mixed blood, meaning that both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are pumped out together. This is because the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood partially mix in the ventricle, resulting in a less efficient oxygen supply compared to mammals with a four-chambered heart.

    Amphibians must have moist skin most of the time.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Amphibians do not necessarily need to have moist skin most of the time. While it is true that many amphibians have permeable skin that allows them to absorb water and oxygen, there are also amphibians, such as some species of frogs, that have adaptations allowing them to survive in drier environments. These adaptations may include thicker skin or the ability to burrow underground to retain moisture. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that all amphibians must have moist skin most of the time.
