in which of the following locations does fertilization of an egg cell typically occur?

A. Fallopian Tube

B. Ovary

C. Uterus

D. Cervical canal

Answer Explanation:

Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tube and not in the ovary, uterus, or cervical canal.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

  • Q #1: Which of the following structures is present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

    A. Chloroplast

    B. Cell membrane

    C. Golgi apparatus

    D. Endoplasmic reticulum

    Answer Explanation

    Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane. The cell membrane is a barrier that surrounds the cell and separates its internal environment from the external environment.

     

  • Q #2: Which of the following describes one difference between skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles?

    A. Skeletal muscles are found in the viscera whereas cardiac muscles are found in the cranium

    B. Cardiac muscles contain intercalated discs, whereas skeletal muscles do not

    C. Cardiac muscles are voluntary, whereas skeletal muscles are involuntary

    D. Skeletal muscles are autorhythmic, whereas cardiac muscles are not

    Answer Explanation

    Cardiac muscles have intercalated discs that enable them to contract in a coordinated manner. Skeletal muscles do not have intercalated discs, as their contraction is under voluntary control and does not require the same level of synchronization seen in the involuntary contraction of cardiac muscle.

  • Q #3: Which of the following processes causes most of the carbon dioxide from the blood to move into the alveoli?

    A. Passive transport using carrier proteins

    B. Conversion to carbon monoxide

    C. Active transport using energy

    D. Diffusion down a concentration gradient

    Answer Explanation

    Most of the carbon dioxide from the blood moves into the alveoli through the process of diffusion down a concentration gradient. In the lungs, there is a higher concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood compared to the alveoli. Its molecules, therefore, move from an area of higher concentration (blood) to an area of lower concentration (alveoli) until equilibrium is reached. This is a passive process and does not require energy or carrier proteins.
