1. Which of the following is not part of the female reproductive system?

• A. The uterus
• B. The uterine tube
• C. The vulva
• D. The bulbourethral gland

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The bulbourethral gland is not part of the female reproductive system. This gland is part of the male reproductive system and is responsible for producing a clear fluid that helps in lubrication during sexual activity. Choices A, B, and C are part of the female reproductive system. The uterus is where a fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus. The uterine tube (fallopian tube) transports eggs from the ovary to the uterus. The vulva includes the external genital organs of the female.

2. Are the oral, nasal, orbital, and middle ear cavities in the dorsal cavity?

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is False. The oral, nasal, orbital, and middle ear cavities are actually part of the ventral cavity, not the dorsal cavity. The dorsal cavity contains the cranial and spinal cavities, while the ventral cavity includes the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities. Therefore, these structures are located in the ventral cavity, not the dorsal cavity. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because these structures are not situated in the dorsal cavity.

3. Signs of aging at the cellular level are

• A. graying hair, waning strength, and wrinkles.
• B. unrepaired DNA and abnormal proteins.
• C. impaired cell division and the ability to break down and recycle worn cell parts.
• D. a fatty liver and clogged blood vessels.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'impaired cell division and the ability to break down and recycle worn cell parts.' Aging at the cellular level involves reduced efficiency in cell division and the breakdown/recycling of cellular components, leading to functional decline. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they involve external physical manifestations or organ-specific issues rather than cellular-level changes associated with aging.

4. Temperature is a form of energy, whereas heat is a measurement of the intensity of the temperature.

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The statement is true. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, while heat is the transfer of energy from a hotter object to a colder one. Heat is not a measurement of the intensity of temperature, but rather the energy transfer due to a temperature difference. Therefore, the correct answer is True. Choice B (False) is incorrect as the statement is true based on the definitions of temperature and heat.

5. Is a cell the basic unit of structure and function of an organism?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Sure
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: True. A cell is indeed the basic unit of structure and function of an organism. Cells are the smallest independently functioning unit in the structure of an organism and carry out vital functions necessary for life. Choice B, False, is incorrect because cells are universally recognized as the fundamental unit of life. Choice C, Not Sure, is incorrect as the role of a cell as the basic unit of an organism's structure and function is a well-established scientific fact. Choice D, None of the above, is incorrect as the statement provided in the question is true.
