Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The hydroxyl functional group (OH) is commonly found in alcohols, giving them their characteristic properties. Alcohols are organic compounds that contain a hydroxyl group bonded to a carbon atom. The other choices, carbonyl, amine, and ester, are associated with different functional groups commonly found in other types of organic compounds. Carbonyl groups consist of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom. Amines contain a nitrogen atom bonded to hydrogen atoms. Esters consist of a carbonyl group bonded to an alkoxyl group. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Hydroxyl (B),' as it specifically relates to the functional group present in alcohols, distinguishing it from the other options.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Action potentials, the all-or-nothing electrical signals traveling along neurons, are generated by the movement of sodium and potassium ions across the neuronal membrane. This movement creates changes in the membrane potential, leading to the propagation of the electrical signal along the neuron. Glucose is a source of energy for neurons but is not directly involved in generating action potentials. Neurotransmitters are involved in communication between neurons but do not directly generate action potentials. Myelin is a fatty substance that insulates and speeds up the conduction of action potentials but does not generate them.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The Golgi apparatus is the cellular organelle responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for transport within the cell or for secretion outside the cell. Ribosomes are not involved in modifying, sorting, or packaging proteins; they are responsible for protein synthesis. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is primarily involved in protein synthesis and folding, rather than modification and packaging for transport. Lysosomes function in breaking down cellular waste rather than modifying, sorting, or packaging proteins for transport.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: After heart transplant surgery, the patient's body will need to take medications to suppress the immune system and prevent rejection of the new heart. This is essential to ensure that the body does not identify the transplanted heart as a foreign entity and mount an immune response against it, which could lead to transplant rejection and failure. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because post-heart transplant medications primarily focus on preventing rejection by suppressing the immune system, rather than reducing blood pressure, dissolving blood clots, or stimulating the growth of new heart tissue.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Mutualism.' Mutualism is a type of symbiosis where both organisms involved benefit from the interaction. This relationship is characterized by cooperation and mutual support, leading to advantages for both parties. In mutualistic relationships, each organism provides something that the other needs, resulting in a mutually beneficial outcome. In contrast, 'Commensalism' (choice B) involves one organism benefiting while the other is unaffected, 'Parasitism' (choice C) benefits one organism at the expense of the other, and 'Predation' (choice D) benefits the predator while harming the prey. Examples of mutualism include the relationship between bees and flowers (pollination) and the partnership between nitrogen-fixing bacteria and leguminous plants.
