Question 1 of 5
What are the three main types of muscle tissue in the human body?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The three main types of muscle tissue in the human body are smooth muscle (involuntary), cardiac muscle (involuntary), and voluntary skeletal muscle. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs, cardiac muscle is found in the heart, and skeletal muscle is attached to bones and is under voluntary control. Option A correctly identifies these three main types of muscle tissue in the human body. Choice B is incorrect because it lists skeletal muscle as involuntary, which is not accurate. Choice C is incorrect because it lists voluntary smooth muscle, which does not exist as smooth muscle is involuntary. Choice D is incorrect because it uses terms like striated, non-striated, and epithelial, which are not the main types of muscle tissue but rather descriptions related to muscle characteristics and location.
Question 2 of 5
What is the term for a substance that can act as both a proton donor and a proton acceptor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Amphiprotic substances are those that can both donate and accept protons. They possess characteristics of both acids and bases, making them capable of acting as proton donors and proton acceptors. Choices A and B represent substances that are specific to either donating or accepting protons. Choice D does not describe a substance's ability to donate or accept protons since neutrality does not inherently involve proton donation or acceptance.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is NOT a recognized mode of natural selection?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A) Directional selection is a recognized mode of natural selection where one extreme trait value on a spectrum is favored over others, leading to a shift in the average trait value over time. B) Disruptive selection is a recognized mode of natural selection where both extreme trait values on a spectrum are favored over the average trait value, potentially causing the population to split into distinct groups. C) Stabilizing selection is a recognized mode of natural selection favoring the average trait value on a spectrum over extreme values, resulting in reduced genetic diversity. D) Sexual selection differs from traditional natural selection modes as it involves mate choice and competition for mates, not direct selection pressure on traits affecting survival and reproduction in the environment. Sexual selection can drive the evolution of traits enhancing an individual's attractiveness for mating purposes.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is the positively charged subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Proton. Protons are positively charged subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. They have a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (amu) and a charge of +1. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines the atomic number of the element, which is a unique identifier for each element. Choice A, Electron, is incorrect as electrons are negatively charged particles found outside the nucleus. Choice C, Neutron, is incorrect as neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus. Choice D, Quark, is incorrect as quarks are elementary particles that combine to form protons and neutrons, but they are not the positively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom.
Question 5 of 5
What is the oxidation state of carbon in CH4?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In CH4 (methane), carbon is bonded to four hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1. Since the overall charge of CH4 is 0, the oxidation state of carbon must be -4 to balance the charges. Each hydrogen contributes an oxidation state of +1, resulting in a total of +4 from hydrogen atoms. To achieve a total oxidation state of 0 for the molecule, carbon must have an oxidation state of -4 to offset the contribution from hydrogen. Therefore, the correct answer is -4. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect: +1 is the oxidation state of hydrogen, -1 is not the oxidation state of carbon in methane, and +2 is not the correct oxidation state of carbon in CH4.
