Which of the following statements is FALSE?

A. An organelle is a specialized structure in a cell, such as a ribosome.

B. An organ is made up of similar tissues that perform the same function.

C. Organ systems are two or more organs performing similar functions.

D. A tissue contains a single cell type that works to perform a specific function.

Answer Explanation:

A tissue contains a variety of cell types that work in conjunction to perform similar functions.

The cells are similar in structure despite being located throughout the body. There are four types of tissues in the human body: connective, epithelial, muscle, and nervous system tissues.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

  • Q #1: In general, where in the periodic table of elements are the elements with the largest atomic radii located?

    A. Upper-right corner

    B. Upper-left corner

    C. Bottom-left corner

    D. Bottom-right comer

    Answer Explanation

    In general, atomic radius increases moving down a group due to the increasing number of electron shells. In general, atomic radius decreases moving from left to right across a period due to the increasing number of protons in the energy level. Therefore, atoms of elements in the bottom-left corner of the periodic table tend to have the largest atomic radii.

  • Q #2: What types of reaction is Cu (s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)?

    A. Single replacement

    B. Double replacement

    C. Synthesis

    D. Decomposition

    Answer Explanation

    This is a single replacement reaction in which copper replaces silver. The copper combines with the nitrate ions, and the silver precipitates out. Single replacement reactions have the general form of

    A + BC AC + B. Double replacement reactions have the general form of AB + CD AD + CB. Synthesis reactions have the general form of A + B AB. Decomposition reactions have the general form AB A+B.

  • Q #3: How many different types of nucleotides are there in DNA?

    A. One

    B. Two

    C. Four

    D. Eight

    Answer Explanation

    There are four different nucleotides in DNA. Nucleotides are monomers of nucleic acids, composed of five- carbon sugars, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Nucleotides make up both DNA and RNA. They are essential for the recording of an organism's genetic information, which guides the actions of the various cells of the body.
