1. Which of the following statements is true concerning the female reproductive system?

• A. It produces female sex cells.
• B. It transports the female sex cells.
• C. It can support the development of an embryo.
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'All of the above.' The female reproductive system produces female sex cells (eggs), transports them through the fallopian tubes, and can support the development of an embryo through the uterus. Choice A is correct because the ovaries produce eggs, choice B is correct as the fallopian tubes transport the eggs, and choice C is correct as the uterus provides the environment for the embryo to develop. Therefore, all of these statements are true regarding the female reproductive system.

2. Homeostasis is the body's maintenance of a stable internal environment.

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. Not Sure
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. It involves processes that regulate various physiological factors such as temperature, pH, and blood sugar levels within a narrow range. This ensures that the body's cells can function optimally. Therefore, the correct answer is True. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because homeostasis aims to maintain stability, not instability, in the internal environment.

3. Which of the following is produced by the prostate gland?

• A. testosterone
• B. fluid to lubricate the head of the penis
• C. substance to enhance sperm mobility
• D. Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'fluid to lubricate the head of the penis.' The prostate gland produces a milky fluid that makes up part of the seminal fluid, which helps to nourish and transport sperm. Testosterone is produced mainly by the testes, not the prostate gland. While the prostate gland does contribute to sperm mobility, its primary function is to produce the fluid that lubricates the penis during ejaculation. Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone is produced by the hypothalamus and regulates the release of hormones from the pituitary gland.

4. Do we know all there is to know about the structure and function of the human body?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Not Sure
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: B

Rationale: No, the statement that we know all there is to know about the structure and function of the human body is false. The human body is complex, and there is still much to discover and understand about its intricate functions. Science and medicine continue to make new discoveries and advancements in understanding the human body. Choice A is incorrect because it claims that we know everything, which is not true. Choice C is not the best answer as it implies uncertainty rather than acknowledging the ongoing research and discoveries in this field. Choice D is not the correct option as there is a definitive answer to the question.

5. Macromolecules are built of?

• A. Monomers
• B. Incorrect
• C. Not Applicable
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Monomers. Macromolecules are built from smaller subunits called monomers. Monomers join together through chemical reactions to form larger molecules known as macromolecules. Option B is incorrect as it does not provide the accurate information regarding the composition of macromolecules. Option C is not applicable as it does not offer a relevant choice. Option D is incorrect because there is a specific answer related to the composition of macromolecules.
