Question 11
2 pts
(TCO 2) Which of the following substances below is matched with its
correct organic group?
DNA—lipids
Steroids—carbohydrates
Monosaccharides—nucleic acids
Glycerol—proteins
Enzymes—proteins
Question 12
2 pts
(TCO 2) Which of the following statements about enzymes is
true?
They are not reusable.
They are carbohydrates.
They are required in large amounts in order to be effective.
They are stable at high temperatures.
They are biological catalysts.
Answer-1: NUTRIENTS ( it is a substance required for an organism to survive and grow)
Answer-2: THORACIC IS VENTRAL TO SPINAL CAVITY ( as thoracic is present at the anterior or ventral part and spinal cavity is at the posterior or dorsal part)
Answer-3: ABDOMINOPELVIC CAVITY (divided into 2 divisions- abdominal cavity, comprises of stomach, spleen,intestines, liver and the pelvic cavity comprising of bladder, rectum, other reproductive organs, etc.)
Answer-4: TRANSVERSE (axial plane)
Answer-5: DISTAL AND PROXIMAL (distal is away from the point of attachment and proximal is close to point of attachment to the body)
Answer-6: PASS THROUGH BOTH EARS ( as coronal section divides the body into ventral and dorsal sections )
Answer-7: CARBON, OXYGEN, HYDROGEN, NITROGEN (most abundant elements in living beings)
Answer-8: NON POLAR COVALENT BONDS ( atoms of same elements attract electrons equally and thus equal sharing of electrons occurs )
Answer-9: Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged, and neutrons are neutral
Answer-10: CARBOHYDRATES ( especially polysaccharides)
Answer-11: Enzymes—proteins (almost all enzymes are protein in nature)
Answer-12: They are biological catalysts (they enhance the rate of reactions in our body by lowering the activation energy).
