6. Glucose is stored in liver and muscle cells in the form of glycogen.
7. Aquaporins are protein channels in membrane of blood and kidney cells also found in other
tissue cells?
8. Hydrogen bonds bind molecules giving a three-dimensional shape to the molecule; however
they cannot hold atoms together.
9. Actin and myosin are protein filaments, but they do not contract.
10. Parasagittal plane is any sagittal plane except the plane cut through the midline.
11. Elastic cartilage is not found in elastic arteries connected to the heart; however, the body wall of
elastic arteries consists of elastic fibers?
12. Macrophage are phagocytic cells that can be found in areolar (fat) and lymphatic tissue?
13. Parasagittal plane is any sagittal plane except the plane cut through the midline.
14. Like monosaccharides go with carbohydrates, amino acids go with proteins and DNA goes with
nucleic acids, do eicosanoids go with triglycerides?
15. Give a good example of positive feedback?
16. Which major organs you will find in the thoracic cavity?
17. Name the sensory receptors associated with the skin?
18. What is the most probable place one should place a thermometer in a child when taking
temperature?
19. Would you identify nutrients, water, movement and reproduction the main survival needs of the
body?
20. Animals store carbohydrates in what form in the body?
21. Positive feedback is different from negative feedback. Why?
22. Which system of the body would you place the cardiovascular system?
23. An example of inert or unreactive example would be?
24. Neutralizing reaction would neutralize a strong acid and base to Nacl + H20, such as, Hcl + NaOH
NaCl + H20
25. Out of the following which is the most abundant protein in our body; collagen, glucose,
hemoglobin, of DNA?
26. Name the protein that forms the tendons?
27. Proteins do not carry coded hereditary information like DNA?
28. It is no true that larger particles move faster than smaller particles, since particles in larger
molecules colloid more frequently and more forcefully.
29. An acid solution of pH 6 would have tenfold more H+ ions than pure H20?
30. Salivary amylase or ptyalin enzyme hydrolyzes starch into maltose at close to neural pH, will it
still hydrolyze starch when the pH is 2-3?
31. If active transport establishes a concentration gradient with ATP then potential energy can be
harnessed when molecules passively diffuse down a concentration gradient?
32. Is it true that Beta cells in the islets of Langerhans secrete insulin, for that reason, they have a
high concentration of rough ER and Golgi bodies?
33. The main transport mechanism of movement of macromolecules is brought about by receptor
mediated endocytosis?
34. Out of the following which is the most effective way hormones enter cell; primary active
transport, receptor mediated endocytosis, exocytosis, or pinocytosis?
35. Out of the following which is the most effective way cells in small intestine absorb nutrients?
stereocilia, microvilli, primary cilia and flagella?
36. Glycocalyx produced on the surface of cancer cells attracts immune cells that in turn destroy
cancer cells?
37. Is it true that oxygen diffuses possibly from alveoli of lungs into circulating blood?
38. The RNA that transport an amino acid to the ribosome for protein synthesis is tRNA?
39. Water moves across plasma membrane by the following; passive membrane transport, simple
diffusion, facilitated diffusion through aquaporins but not by carrier ; meditated facilitated
diffusion?
40. Mitochondria contains DNA and RNA codes necessary to synthesize ATP?
41. Merocrine gland are not damaged by their secretory process?
42. Name the tissue of the body that consists of lacunae, calcium, salt and blood vessels?
43. Chondroblast are cells in the cartilage that never lose their ability to divide?
44. Name the type of muscle tissue that contracts the body wall of the uterus?
45. Salivary glands are good example of compound tubuloalveolar glands?
46. Golgi bodies in goblet cells play a important role in formation of adipose tissue?
47. Name the type of cells that form body walls of alveoli (air sacs). Are these simple squamous
cells, columnar cells or cuboidal cells?
48. Collagen fibers give great tonsile strength to convective tissue?
49. Blood vessels are found in the bone tissue but no in cartilage tissue?
50. Cardiac muscle would separate from each other without the intercalated discs?
