Question 3
Type: Multiple Selection
Which processes occur when amino acids are assembled to form proteins? (Select all that apply.)
a) Metabolism
b) Anabolism
c) Catabolism
d) Responsiveness
e) Differentiation
Correct Answers: a) Metabolism, b) Anabolism
Difficulty: Medium
Bloom’s Level: Application
Learning Objective: LO 1.3 – Define essential life processes.
Section Reference: 1.3 Characteristics of the Living Human Organism
Question 4
Type: Essay
Explain the relationship between reproduction, differentiation, and growth.
Difficulty: Hard
Bloom’s Level: Synthesis
Learning Objective: LO 1.3 – Define essential life processes.
Section Reference: 1.3 Characteristics of the Living Human Organism
Sample Answer:
Reproduction begins with fertilization, where a sperm cell unites with an ovum to form a zygote. This
zygote undergoes repeated cell division. As development progresses, cells undergo differentiation,
becoming specialized in structure and function. Growth occurs through an increase in cell size, number,
or both.
Question 5
Type: Multiple Choice
Which two organ systems primarily regulate and maintain homeostasis?
a) Cardiovascular and integumentary
b) Nervous and endocrine
