4. What is the process by which the body maintains a relatively constant blood pH level, even with changes in blood carbon dioxide concentration?

• A. Cellular respiration
• B. Gas exchange
• C. Buffering system
• D. Deoxygenation

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Buffering system. The body maintains a relatively constant blood pH level through the buffering system, which consists of chemical substances that can absorb excess hydrogen ions or release hydrogen ions to adjust pH levels. This system helps prevent drastic changes in blood pH even when there are fluctuations in blood carbon dioxide concentration. Cellular respiration and gas exchange are processes related to obtaining and utilizing oxygen, while deoxygenation refers to the removal of oxygen from a substance. Therefore, the buffering system is specifically responsible for regulating blood pH levels in response to changes in carbon dioxide concentration.

5. What is the name of the monthly cycle in females that prepares the body for potential pregnancy?

• A. Ovulation cycle
• B. Menstrual cycle
• C. Implantation cycle
• D. Gestation cycle

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle is the monthly process in females where the lining of the uterus thickens in preparation for a potential pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the lining sheds, resulting in menstruation. Ovulation is a key event within the menstrual cycle where an egg is released from the ovary, typically around the midpoint of the cycle. Implantation refers to the attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterus, which occurs after ovulation and fertilization. Gestation cycle refers to the period of pregnancy from conception to birth. Therefore, the menstrual cycle best describes the monthly process that prepares the body for potential pregnancy.

• C. A force that increases in magnitude over time
• D. A force that decreases in magnitude over time

Correct answer: B

Rationale: No force acting on it. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by a net force.
