1. Macromolecules are built of?

• A. Monomers
• B. Incorrect
• C. Not Applicable
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Monomers. Macromolecules are built from smaller subunits called monomers. Monomers join together through chemical reactions to form larger molecules known as macromolecules. Option B is incorrect as it does not provide the accurate information regarding the composition of macromolecules. Option C is not applicable as it does not offer a relevant choice. Option D is incorrect because there is a specific answer related to the composition of macromolecules.

2. Which part of the brain regulates heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure?

• A. Corpus Callosum
• B. Medulla Oblongata
• C. Pituitary Glands
• D. Pineal Glands

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is the Medulla Oblongata. This part of the brain is responsible for regulating essential autonomic functions such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. The Corpus Callosum is responsible for connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain, not for regulating these vital functions. The Pituitary Glands and Pineal Glands are part of the endocrine system and are not directly involved in regulating heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure.

3. Which of the following lists best illustrates the idea of increasing levels of complexity?

• A. Cells, tissues, organelles, organs, organ systems
• B. Tissues, cells, organs, organelles, organ systems
• C. Organs, organelles, organ systems, cells, tissues
• D. Organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems. This list correctly depicts the increasing levels of complexity in biological organization. It starts with organelles, which are subunits within cells, followed by cells, then tissues (groups of cells working together), organs (comprised of different tissues), and finally organ systems (multiple organs working together). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not follow the logical progression of complexity from smaller units to larger, more complex structures.

4. Which of the following is not true of organelles?

• A. They carry out specific activities.
• B. They are only present in human cells.
• C. They are composed of aggregates of large molecules.
• D. They are found in many types of cells.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Organelles are not exclusive to human cells but are present in various types of cells across different organisms. Option B is incorrect as it suggests that organelles are only found in human cells, which is false. Choices A, C, and D are correct statements about organelles. Organelles indeed carry out specific activities, are made up of aggregates of large molecules, and can be found in many types of cells.

5. Which of the following is produced by the prostate gland?

• A. testosterone
• B. fluid to lubricate the head of the penis
• C. substance to enhance sperm mobility
• D. Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'fluid to lubricate the head of the penis.' The prostate gland produces a milky fluid that makes up part of the seminal fluid, which helps to nourish and transport sperm. Testosterone is produced mainly by the testes, not the prostate gland. While the prostate gland does contribute to sperm mobility, its primary function is to produce the fluid that lubricates the penis during ejaculation. Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone is produced by the hypothalamus and regulates the release of hormones from the pituitary gland.
