Graded A+
1. Which level of organization is the most basic unit of life?
A) Tissue
B) Organ
C) Cell
D) Organ system
The cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of life, capable
of performing all life processes.
2. What type of tissue covers body surfaces and lines cavities?
A) Connective
B) Epithelial
C) Muscle
D) Nervous
Epithelial tissue forms protective barriers, absorbs, secretes, and
provides sensory input.
3. Which type of connective tissue stores energy and insulates the
body?
A) Bone
B) Cartilage
C) Adipose
D) Dense regular
Adipose tissue stores fat, serving as an energy reserve and thermal
insulator.
4. Which muscle type is involuntary and found in the walls of
internal organs?
,A) Skeletal
B) Smooth
C) Cardiac
D) None of the above
Smooth muscle contracts involuntarily to move substances through
hollow organs.
5. What is the main function of red blood cells?
A) Fight infection
B) Clot blood
C) Transport oxygen
D) Release hormones
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which binds and transports
oxygen throughout the body.
6. The functional unit of the kidney is called:
A) Neuron
B) Nephron
C) Glomerulus
D) Bowman’s capsule
The nephron filters blood and forms urine, making it the functional
unit of the kidney.
7. Which organelle is responsible for producing ATP?
A) Nucleus
B) Golgi apparatus
C) Lysosome
D) Mitochondrion
Mitochondria perform cellular respiration, generating ATP as the
energy currency.
8. The primary site of nutrient absorption in the digestive system is:
A) Stomach
B) Small intestine
, C) Large intestine
D) Esophagus
The small intestine, with its villi and microvilli, is specialized for
nutrient absorption.
9. What type of joint is the shoulder joint?
A) Hinge
B) Pivot
C) Ball-and-socket
D) Saddle
The shoulder (glenohumeral joint) allows movement in multiple
planes, typical of a ball-and-socket joint.
10. Which bone forms the forehead?
A) Parietal
B) Temporal
C) Frontal
D) Occipital
The frontal bone forms the anterior portion of the skull, including the
forehead.
11. Which structure connects muscles to bones?
A) Ligament
B) Cartilage
