Question 1 of 5

Which of the following characteristics of life and their descriptions are correct?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Circulation-the movement of substances in body fluids. Circulation refers to the movement of substances like nutrients, gases, and wastes in body fluids to and from cells.
Choice A is incorrect because responsiveness is about detecting and responding to changes in the environment, not obtaining and using oxygen.
Choice B is incorrect because assimilation is the process of incorporating absorbed substances into the body, not changing them into chemically different forms.
Choice C is incorrect because respiration is the process of obtaining energy from food molecules through oxygen, not the obtaining and using oxygen itself.

What is the main function of the digestive system?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Absorption of nutrients. The main function of the digestive system is to break down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
Choice A, 'Formation of cells,' is incorrect as cell formation is not the primary function of the digestive system.
Choice B, 'Movement of body parts,' is incorrect as this is more related to the muscular system.
Choice D, 'Providing oxygen for the extraction of energy from nutrients,' is incorrect because providing oxygen is primarily the function of the respiratory system, not the digestive system.

Question 3 of 5

What is the term for the upper midportion of the abdomen?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is "epigastric." The epigastric region is located in the upper midportion of the abdomen, between the hypochondriac regions on either side.
Choice A, "hypochondriac," refers to the upper lateral regions of the abdomen beneath the ribs.
Choice B, "iliac," pertains to the lower lateral regions of the abdomen.
Choice C, "hypogastric," is the lower central region of the abdomen.

Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'bilateral.' Paired organs like the kidneys or lungs are described as bilateral because they occur in pairs on both sides of the body. Option A 'bisexual' refers to having both male and female reproductive organs, which is not the correct term for paired organs. Option B 'bilingual' refers to being able to speak two languages, which is not related to the description of paired organs. Option D 'bivalent' means having two valences, which is also unrelated to the context of paired organs.

Question 5 of 5

Do patterns of growth in preserved bones and tooth decay reflect the health of the people they were a part of?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Patterns of growth in preserved bones and tooth decay can indeed reflect the health of the individuals they belonged to. Growth patterns can indicate malnutrition or diseases during childhood, while tooth decay can signify dietary habits and overall health.
Therefore, the correct answer is 'Yes.' 'No' is incorrect because these factors can provide valuable information about the health of individuals. 'Not enough information to determine' is incorrect as these indicators are commonly used in anthropological and archaeological studies to understand health conditions in past populations. 'Not applicable' is also incorrect as the information from bones and tooth decay is relevant to assessing the health of individuals.
