The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?
digestive |
|
nervous |
|
reproductive |
|
circulatory |
Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.
Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?
photosynthesis |
|
anaerobic respiration |
|
aerobic respiration |
|
all of these |
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
Which of these is not a type of fat?
polyunsaturated |
|
saturated |
|
monounsaturated |

Most digestion takes place where?
mouth |
|
large intestine |
|
small intestine |
|
stomach |
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
