Q #1: Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of enzymes?
A. They change shape when they bind their substrates.
B. They can catalyze reactions in both forward and reverse directions.
C. Their activity is sensitive to changes in temperature.
D. They are always active on more than one kind of substrate.
Answer Explanation
Enzymes are substrate-specific. Most enzymes catalyze only one biochemical reaction. Their active sites are specific for a certain type of substrate and do not bind to other substrates and catalyze other reactions.

Q #2: Where is the gastrocnemius vein in relation to the femoral vein?
A. Lateral
B. Distal
C. Superior
D. Ventral
Answer Explanation
The gastrocnemius vein is found in the calf. The femoral vein is found in the proximal anterior thighs/pelvis.
Since the gastrocnemius vein is found below the femoral vein it is distal or inferior to the femoral vessel.

Q #3: Your class is competing with another class to determine who has the best plant color. Your class decides to test a couple of solutions to determine which would be best for overall plant color before competing. Starting with four sets of four plants, the class decides to water each set with a different solution. They water them once a week with 200ml of the following solutions: water, diet soda, 1% bleach solution, and a 1% salt solution. All plants are placed in the window that receives the recommended amount of light. After a month of testing, your class notices that only two plants are alive, but one of those two does not look healthy. Based on these results, which of the following would be a good hypothesis to design the next experiment around?
A. Plants need more than 200 mL of liquid per week.
B. Salt has no impact on plant health.
C. Salt contains useful nutrients for plants.
D. A combination of the solutions tested will produce healthier plants.
Answer Explanation
Since only 2 out of the initial 16 plants survived the whole month, it would be reasonable to test variables that were shared by all the plants. As such, the amount of liquid the plants need would be a good follow-up experiment. It is not specified as to which plants survived, so there is not enough information to think that testing the impact of salt is warranted. Additionally, since almost all the plants died, it is not reasonable to assume that a combination of the solutions would have an impact.

Q #4: Which of these body parts does NOT produce melanin?
A. Hair
B. Nails
C. Skin
D. Iris
Answer Explanation
While melanin can be found in nails, it is not produced there. Melanin is the pigment that provides color to skin, hair, and eyes. Although the specific coloring of one's skin, hair, and eyes are genetically determined. environmental factors such as sun exposure can increase melanin production in the skin to help protect it from damage.

Q #5: Which of the following anatomical structures is directly involved in the production of hormones?
A. Pituitary ,Pancreas
B. Penis,Pons
C. Pancreas ,Penis
D. Prostate, Pancreas
Answer Explanation
The pituitary and the pancreas are both structures of the endocrine system that produce hormones involved in body regulation, growth reaand development, sexual functioning, and other processes. The penis Is a structure of the reproductive system that responds to hormones, but it does not produce them. The prostate plays a role in converting testosterone (produced in the testicles) into dihydrotestosterone, but does not actively produce hormones. The pons is located in the brain stem and relays nerve signals that coordinate messages between the brain and the body. The pericardium is a structural component of the cardiovascular system.

Q #6: Identify the location where neurotransmitters are stored immediately prior to use.
A. Area A
B. Area B
C. Area C
D. Area D
Answer Explanation
Area B is a synaptic vesicle where the neurotransmitters are stored just before use.

Q #7: Which of the following statements concerning the states of matter is NOT true?
A. Plasmas are high-temperature collections of ions and free electrons.
B. Solids are the least compressible due to the more rigid positions of the particles.
C. Gases have no definite volume and expand to fill their containers
D. Liquids have no definite shape and no definite volume.
Answer Explanation
Liquids have no definite shape, but they do have a definite volume. While the particles of liquids move more freely than those in solids, they do maintain a definite volume.

Q #8: Which of the following are formed when the plasma membrane surrounds a particle outside of the cell?
A. Golgi bodies
B. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
C. Secretory vesicles
D. Endocytic vesicles
Answer Explanation
Endocytosis is a process by which cells absorb larger molecules or even tiny organisms, such as bacteria, that would not be able to pass through the plasma membrane. Endocytic vesicles containing molecules from the extracellular environment often undergo further processing once they enter the cell.

Q #9: Which of the following are examples of homeostatic mechanisms?
A. Increasing heart rate when blood pressure is low, Consuming excess calories to gain weight
B. Lifting weights to increase muscle mass
C. Shivering when the body temperature falls
D. Shivering when the body temperature falls, Secreting insulin to decrease blood sugar concentration, Increasing heart rate when blood pressure is low
Answer Explanation
Homeostatic mechanisms are involuntary actions by organs, glands, tissues and cells to maintain balance within the body. For example, if a person becomes dehydrated, the kidneys will retain fluid by decreasing urine output.
Consuming excess calories and lifting weights are not involuntary actions, nor do they maintain the body in its baseline state. Rather, they are actions specifically taken to move the body away from its baseline.

Q #10: Which structure of the nervous system carries action potential in the direction of a synapse?
A. Cell body
B. Axon
C. Neuron
D. Myelin
Answer Explanation
Axons carry action potential in the direction of synapses. Axons are the long, fiber-like structures that carry information from neurons. Electrical impulses travel along the body of the axons, some of which are up to a foot long.
A neuron is a type of cell that is responsible for sending information throughout the body. There are several types of neurons, including muscle neurons, which respond to instructions for movement; sensory neurons, which transmit information about the external world; and interneurons, which relay messages between neurons. Myelin is a fat that coats the nerves and ensures the accurate transmission of information in the nervous system.
