• A. While the movie was playing

2. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) plays a crucial role in regulating water balance. When ADH levels are high, what happens to urine production?

• A. Urine production increases significantly
• B. Urine production decreases to conserve water
• C. There is no change in urine production
• D. The kidneys stop producing urine altogether

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When antidiuretic hormone (ADH) levels are high, it indicates that the body needs to conserve water. ADH works by increasing the permeability of the collecting ducts in the kidneys, allowing more water to be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. This action leads to a decrease in urine production, as the body retains more water to maintain proper fluid balance. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 'Urine production decreases to conserve water.' High levels of ADH help the body prevent dehydration by reducing the amount of water lost in urine.

3. What is the name of the wart-like growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV)?

• A. Keloids
• B. Keloids
• C. Papillomas
• D. Carcinomas

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Papillomas.' Wart-like growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) are known as papillomas. Keloids are raised scars that occur at the site of skin injury, while carcinomas are cancerous tumors. It is important to differentiate between these terms to accurately describe the specific condition caused by HPV. Papillomas can vary in appearance and may be found on the skin, genital area, or inside the mouth and throat.

5. Which statement accurately describes the Linnaean system of classification?

• A. It focuses on evolutionary relationships between organisms
• B. It uses dichotomous keys for identification
• C. It groups organisms based on shared functions
• D. It emphasizes a hierarchical ranking system

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: The Linnaean system of classification, developed by Carl Linnaeus, is based on a hierarchical ranking system where organisms are grouped into categories based on shared characteristics. This system organizes organisms into a hierarchy of increasingly specific categories, from broad to narrow, such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. This hierarchical approach allows for the systematic organization and classification of a wide variety of organisms based on their similarities and differences.

6. What do isotopes of the same element have in common?

• A. Identical number of protons and neutrons.
• B. Identical chemical properties.
• C. Identical number of electrons.
• D. Identical mass number.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Identical number of protons and neutrons - Isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to varying neutron counts.
