Question 1 of 5
Which of the following cells secrete bone material?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Osteocytes are the cells responsible for maintaining bone tissue and secreting bone material, contributing to the overall structure and strength of bones.
Question 2 of 5

Question 3 of 5
Lithium has an atomic number of 3 and a mass number of 7. What is the number of protons in a lithium atom?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number. In this case, lithium has an atomic number of 3, so it contains 3 protons. The mass number (7) includes both protons and neutrons, with the difference between the mass number and atomic number representing the number of neutrons. Therefore, the correct answer is 3 protons in a lithium atom.

The breakdown of lactose in the small intestine is mediated by the enzyme lactase, and the products are galactose and glucose. Galactose and glucose are which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Galactose and glucose are both simple sugars consisting of single sugar units. Therefore, they are classified as monosaccharides. This makes option D the correct answer.

Question 5 of 5
Which of the following ions binds to the troponin complex, initiating muscle contraction?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is calcium (D). Calcium ions bind to the troponin complex, initiating muscle contraction. When calcium binds to troponin, it causes a conformational change in the troponin-tropomyosin complex, exposing the binding sites on actin for myosin. This interaction allows muscle contraction by facilitating the sliding of actin and myosin filaments past each other, leading to muscle contraction.
