Question 1

_______ is a nucleic acid that contains genetic information that is coded in specific sequences of its component nucleotides.&#10;A) RNA&#10;B) DNA&#10;C) ATP&#10;D) Protein

Accepted Answer

DNA is the nucleic acid that contains genetic information. RNA is also a nucleic acid, but it is mainly involved in protein synthesis, not encoding genetic information. ATP is a molecule involved in energy transfer, and protein is made up of amino acids, not nucleotides.

Question 2

Each cell has specialized parts called _______.&#10;A) nucleic acids&#10;B) organelles&#10;C) molecules&#10;D) proteins

Accepted Answer

The term "organelles" refers specifically to the specialized parts found within cells. Nucleic acids, molecules, and proteins are all important components of cells, but they do not necessarily refer specifically to the specialized parts within cells.

Question 3

The _______ surrounds and protects the cell, regulating passage of materials into and out of the cell.&#10;A) plasma membrane&#10;B) endoplasmic reticulum&#10;C) cytoplasm&#10;D) nucleus

Accepted Answer

The plasma membrane (also called cell membrane) forms the outer boundary of the cell and is responsible for regulating the movement of materials in and out of the cell. It consists of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that help to control the passage of molecules and ions. The endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, and nucleus are organelles within the cell and do not directly regulate the movement of materials in and out of the cell.

Question 4

The simplest level of organization in the body is the _______.&#10;A) chemical level&#10;B) tissue level&#10;C) organic level&#10;D) cellular level

Accepted Answer

The simplest level of organization in the body is the chemical level, which includes atoms and molecules essential for life.

Question 5

_______ is a way of thinking and a method of investigating the world in a systematic manner.&#10;A) Experimentation&#10;B) Science&#10;C) Observation&#10;D) Research

Accepted Answer

Science is the correct answer as it involves a way of thinking and a systematic method of investigating the world through observation, experimentation, and research. Observation and experimentation are both components of scientific investigation, but they do not encompass the entirety of the scientific process. Research, while an important aspect of science, is only one part of the larger inquiry that comprises scientific inquiry.

Question 6

The science of body structure is called _______.&#10;A) catabolism&#10;B) metabolism&#10;C) anatomy&#10;D) physiology

Accepted Answer

Anatomy is the branch of science that deals with the physical structure of living organisms.

Question 7

An important function of the _______ is to produce lysosomes.&#10;A) endoplasmic reticulum&#10;B) nucleolus&#10;C) Golgi complex&#10;D) mitochondria

Accepted Answer

The Golgi complex is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for transport to various parts of the cell, including the lysosomes. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis, and the nucleolus is involved in the synthesis of ribosomes. While mitochondria do play a role in cellular metabolism and energy production, they do not produce lysosomes.

Question 8

When cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, _______.&#10;A) there is a net movement of water out of the cells&#10;B) there is a net movement of water into the cells&#10;C) the net movement of water is zero&#10;D) water is moved out of the cell by active transport

Accepted Answer

In a hypertonic solution, there is a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell compared to inside the cell. As a result, water moves out of the cells to balance the concentration, causing the cells to shrink. This results in a net movement of water out of the cells.

Question 9

The two principal body cavities are the _______ and the _______.&#10;A) dorsal cavity; cranial cavity&#10;B) cranial cavity; abdominal cavity&#10;C) abdominal cavity; ventral cavity&#10;D) dorsal cavity; ventral cavity

Accepted Answer

The two principal body cavities are the dorsal cavity, which is located along the posterior (back) side of the body and contains the cranial and vertebral cavities, and the ventral cavity, which is located along the anterior (front) side of the body and contains the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities. Therefore, the correct answer is choice D, dorsal cavity and ventral cavity.
