1. An individual with which of the following blood type can receive only blood of that same type?

• A. Type O
• B. Type A
• C. Type B
• D. Type AB

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is Type O. Individuals with blood type O can only receive blood from donors with blood type O. This is because type O blood lacks both A and B antigens, so if a person with type O blood receives blood with A, B, or AB antigens, their immune system will recognize these as foreign substances and attack them. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because individuals with type A can receive blood from A or O donors, individuals with type B can receive blood from B or O donors, and individuals with type AB can receive blood from A, B, AB, or O donors.

2. Is the parietal pleura a visceral membrane?

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. Not Sure
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The statement that the parietal pleura is a visceral membrane is false. The parietal pleura is actually a membrane that lines the thoracic cavity and is responsible for protecting and cushioning the lungs. Visceral pleura, on the other hand, is the membrane that covers the surface of the lungs. Therefore, the parietal pleura is not a visceral membrane, making the correct answer 'False.' Choices C and D are not relevant as the question is asking for a true/false statement.

3. Specialized cell types organized in a way that provides a specific function form

• A. tissues, which build organs.
• B. organs, which build tissues.
• C. organ systems, which build tissues.
• D. atoms, which comprise tissues.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'tissues, which build organs.' Specialized cell types organize to form tissues, which in turn build organs. Tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform a specific function. Option B is incorrect because organs are composed of tissues, not the other way around. Option C is incorrect as organ systems consist of multiple organs working together, not building tissues. Option D is incorrect as atoms are the basic building blocks of matter and are not directly involved in forming tissues.

4. Cells do not aggregate into organelles based on similar functions.

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. Not Sure
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The statement is false. Cells with similar functions do not aggregate into organelles. Organelles are specialized structures within cells that perform specific functions, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum. Cells themselves are the basic structural and functional units of organisms, and organelles are located within cells to carry out various tasks. Therefore, cells do not aggregate into organelles, but organelles are found within cells to support their functions. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as cells do not form organelles by aggregating based on similar functions.

5. 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.
