1

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscles to the skeleton are called:

71% Answer Correctly

vertebra

cartilage

tendons

ligaments


Solution

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).


2

Menstruation occurs when:

77% Answer Correctly

the ovum fails to become fertilized

the zygote is formed

the ovum becomes fertilized

the fetus is formed 


Solution

If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).


3

Reproductive haploids are also known as:

62% Answer Correctly

diploids

sperm

ovum

gametes


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.


4

As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:

64% Answer Correctly

sugars

protein

starches

fat


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.


5

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

10

122

58

-10


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)
