1. Which of the following is the basic unit of life?
a) Atom
b) Molecule
c) Cell
d) Tissue
The cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of living organisms.
2. The plasma membrane is primarily composed of:
a) Proteins and carbohydrates
b) Phospholipids and proteins
c) Phospholipids and cholesterol
d) Nucleic acids and lipids
The plasma membrane is a bilayer mainly composed of phospholipids with
embedded cholesterol and proteins.
3. Which organelle is responsible for producing ATP?
a) Golgi apparatus
b) Lysosome
c) Mitochondrion
, d) Ribosome
Mitochondria are known as the “powerhouses” of the cell because they
generate ATP through cellular respiration.
4. DNA is found in which part of the cell?
a) Cytoplasm
b) Nucleus
c) Ribosomes
d) Mitochondria
DNA is primarily located in the nucleus, where it controls cellular
activities.
5. Which type of tissue connects muscles to bones?
a) Ligament
b) Cartilage
c) Tendon
d) Tendon
Tendons connect muscles to bones, enabling movement. Ligaments
connect bones to bones.
6. The process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells is
called:
a) Meiosis
b) Mitosis
c) Cytokinesis
d) Apoptosis
, Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid daughter cells for
growth and repair.
7. The function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is to:
a) Detoxify chemicals
b) Synthesize proteins
c) Produce lipids
d) Store calcium
RER is studded with ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis and
processing.
8. Which of the following describes osmosis?
a) Movement of solutes from high to low concentration
b) Movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane
c) Active transport of ions
d) Endocytosis of particles
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a membrane toward
higher solute concentration.
9. The anatomical position is characterized by all of the following EXCEPT:
a) Standing upright
b) Arms at the sides
c) Palms facing posteriorly
d) Feet flat on the floor
In anatomical position, the palms face anteriorly (forward), not
posteriorly.
