The diagram above is an illustration of the urinary tubule in a mammal. Which of the following substances is found in the part labelled II only?
- A. Lipid
- B. Glucose
- C. Urea
- D. Uric acid
Correct Option: Answer is C
13.
The diagram above is an illustration of the urinary tubule in a mammal. The part which contains lowest concentration of urea is labelled
- A. I
- B. II
- C. III
- D. IV
Correct Option: Answer is C
14.
The diagram above is an illustration of the urinary tubule in a mammal. Which of the following substances is greater in concentration in the part labelled IV when compared to that part labelled I?
- A. Lipid
- B. Glucose
- C. Urea
- D. Uric acid
Correct Option: Answer is C
15. Deamination of amino acids in the liver produces
- A. blood sugar
- B. glycogen
- C. bile
- D. urea
Correct Option: Answer is D
deamination is used to break down amino acids for energy. The amino group is removed from the amino acid and converted to ammonia. The rest of the amino acid is made up of mostly carbon and hydrogen, and is recycled or oxidized for energy. Ammonia is toxic to the human system, and enzymes convert it to urea or uric acid
16. Which of the following glands also serves as an exocrine gland?
- A. Ovary
- B. Pancreas
- C. Adrenal
- D. Thyroid
Correct Option: Answer is A
This simply means they are the primary reproductive organs. In addition to their role in producing ova, the ovaries also have the distinction of being an endocrine gland because they secrete hormones—primarily estrogen and progesterone—that are vital to normal reproductive development and fertility
17. Which of the following sequences is the correct route of the transmission of impulses along a reflex arc?
- A. \(Receptor\to sensory neuron \to synapse \to intermediate neuron \to synapse \to motor neuron \to effector\)
- B. \(Receptor \to motor neuron \to synapse \to intermediate neuron \to synapse \to sensory neuron \to effector\)
- C. \(Effector \to intermediate neuron \to synapse \to motor neuron \to synapse \to sensory neuron \to receptor\)
- D. \(Effector \to motor neuron \to synapse \to sensory neuron \to synapse \to intermediate neuron \to receptor\)
Correct Option: Answer is A
18. When viewing an object that is close to the human eye, the
- A. eye lens becomes thin
- B. ciliary muscles relax
- C. suspensory lens become taut
- D. eye lens becomes fat
Correct Option: Answer is D
19.
The diagram above is an illustration of the human sperm. The part labelled I is the
- A. acrosome
- B. nucleus
- C. mitochondrion
- D. tail
Correct Option: Answer is A
The acrosome is an organelle that develops over the anterior half of the head in the spermatozoa (sperm cells) of many animals including humans. It is a cap-like structure derived from the Golgi apparatus. In Eutherian mammals the acrosome contains digestive enzymes (including hyaluronidase and acrosin).

In the diagram of the human sperm above, the function of the part labelled II is to
- A. fuse the ovum during fertilization
- B. generate the energy for the sperm to swim to the fallopian tube
- C. help the sperm to swim forward
- D. dissolve the membrane of the egg during fertilization
Correct Option: Answer is C
The tail of the sperm, sometimes called the flagellum, is a slender, hairlike bundle of filaments that connects to the head and middle portion. … The tail gives the sperm cell movement. It whips and undulates so that the cell can travel to the egg
