In which of the following areas does protein breakdown begin in the human body?
A. Mouth
B. Stomach
C. Small intestine
D. Large intestine - ANSWER B. The stomach
The stomach is the first place in the digestive system in which proteinases are produced.
Which of the following cell types is responsible for the production of soluble antibodies?
A. Cytotoxic T cell
B. Macrophage cell
C. Helper T cell
D. B cell - ANSWER D. B cell
The production of antibodies by B cells is part of the humoral response to antigens.
Which of the following organ systems is responsible for transporting nutrients, water, and other
substances throughout the human body?
A. Respiratory
B. Immune
C. Nervous
D. Circulatory - ANSWER D. Circulatory

Which of the following is characteristic of the human organism?
A. Autotrophic with a genome stored in DNA
B. Heterotrophic with a genome stored in DNA
, C. Autotrophic with a genome stored in RNA
D. Heterotrophic with a genome stored in RNA - ANSWER B. Heterotrophic with a genome stored in DNA

Which of the following is the function of the lymph nodes in mammals?
A. Pump oxygen into tissue spaces
B. store extra glucose for emergencies
C. Synthesize hemoglobin for erythrocytes
D. Filter debris from intracellular spaces - ANSWER D. Filter debris from intracellular spaces

The bands in the muscle sarcomere are formed by actin and which of the following other proteins?
A. Myosin
B. Dynein
C. Keratin
D. Myofibril - ANSWER A. Myosin
Myosin contains "heads" that contact actin and pull the actin fibers together in an ATP- dependent
mechanism that causes muscles to contract.
