What is the first action this student should take? - Flush her hand with large quantities of water. Within which of these structures of the female reproductive tract is the human egg fertilized? - Fallopian tube A cell which manufactures a large amount of protein for export would have an abundance of organelles called - Ribosomes A substance that increases the speed of a reaction by lowering its activation energy is called - A catalyst All of these groups of land plants produce seeds EXCEPT A. perennial flowering plants, such as peonies and asters. B. deciduous trees, such as maple and oaks. C. moist forest plants, such as mosses and ferns. D. evergreen trees, such as pines and spruces. - moist forest plants, such as mosses and ferns (NOTE: "Evergreen trees, such as pines and spruces" is NOT the right answer even though NLN practice test says so!) As part of the human immune response, which of these cells are responsible for producing antibodies? - Lymphocytes Ductless glands in the human body secrete - Hormones Ganglia are made up of a cluster of - neurons If a person is fasting for 24hrs and ingest no carbohydrates the liver will provide for the body's need by - Converting glycogen into glucose If all of the second-order consumers within an ecosystem of a region were removed, the most likely short-term effect would be - An increase in the number of first-order consumers In a study on the effect of cocaine on the brains of rats, two groups of animals were selected. Each day, Group A was injected with the drug dissolved in water, whereas Group B was injected with water alone. In such a study Group B is included as - A control group In the reaction of iron with water shown below, what coefficient must be placed before the iron(Fe) to balance the reaction? Fe + 4H 2 O ° Fe 3 O 4 + 4H 2 - 3 Scientists have discovered that most vertebrates have cone cells in their eyes, which distinguish colors in daylight. The rods are more sensitive to light, but do not distinguish colors. If a mammal is nocturnal - There are fewer cones and a greater concentration of rods to collect the minimal light for night vision.

Under this condition, which of these behaviors of the paramecia will be observed? - They will eventually all swim away from the ammonium hydroxide. In diagnostic testing, the electroencephalogram permits the physician to - examine the impulses of the nerve cells within the brain.
