Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, the Lymphatic System. The lymphatic system is responsible for draining clear fluid, known as lymph, throughout the body to protect it from infection. The other choices are incorrect because the pulmonary loop specifically refers to circulation between the heart and lungs, the systemic loop refers to circulation between the heart and the rest of the body, and the immune system is responsible for fighting infections and diseases rather than draining clear fluid.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: '
To filter waste from the blood.' The lymphatic system is responsible for draining excess fluid from tissues, absorbing fats from the digestive system, and filtering out harmful substances and waste products from the blood. It also plays a crucial role in the body's immune defense by transporting white blood cells and antibodies to fight off infections.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because transporting oxygen, producing red blood cells, and regulating body temperature are functions performed by other systems in the body, such as the respiratory system, bone marrow, and thermoregulatory mechanisms, respectively.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: ATP energy. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to produce ATP, which is the primary energy currency of cells. While oxygen is required for cellular respiration to occur, it is not an end product but rather a reactant. Carbon dioxide and water are byproducts of cellular respiration, alongside ATP.
Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they are not end products of cellular respiration.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'Skin.' The skin is the largest organ in the human body and consists of multiple tissue types working together to perform various functions such as protection, sensation, and temperature regulation.
Choice B, 'Neuron,' is a specialized cell in the nervous system and not an organ.
Choice C, 'Brainstem,' is a part of the central nervous system composed of nerve tissues but is not an organ on its own.
Choice D, 'DNA,' is a molecule that carries genetic instructions, not an organ.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is the humerus. The humerus is the long bone located in the upper arm, between the shoulder and elbow. Option A, Femur, is incorrect as it is the long bone found in the thigh. Option B, Tibia, is incorrect as it is a long bone found in the lower leg. Option D, Radius, is incorrect as it is a bone located in the forearm, not the upper arm.
