1) identify what happens when the doctor hits your knee cap with the rubber hammer
during your annual physical.
a. the stimulus travels down the axon of your sensory neuron, through the dorsal root
ganglion, is transmitted through the dendrites of the sensory neuron to the interneuron.
from here it enters the cell body of the motor neuron and travels down the ventral root
axon of the motor neuron to stimulate the effector.
b. the stimulus travels down the axon of your sensory neuron, through the ventral root
ganglion, is transmitted through the dendrites of the sensory neuron to the interneuron.
from here it enters the cell body of the motor neuron and travels down the dorsal root
axon of the motor neuron to stimulate the effector.
c. the stimulus travels down the axon of your motor neuron, through the dorsal root
ganglion, is transmitted through the dendrites of the sensory neuron to the interneuron.
from here it enters the cell body of the motor neuron and travels down the ventral root
axon of the sensory neuron to stimulate the effector.
d. the stimulus travels down the axon of your sensory neuron, through the dorsal root
ganglion, is transmitted through the dendrites of the sensory neuron to the interneuron.
from here it enters the cell body of the motor neuron and travels down the ventral root
axon of the motor neuron to stimulate the receptor.
e. the stimulus travels down the dendrite of your sensory neuron, through the dorsal
root ganglion, is transmitted through the axons of the sensory neuron to the interneuron.
from here it enters the cell body of the motor neuron and travels down the ventral root
axon of the motor neuron to stimulate the effector.
2) where on this phylogenetic tree of primate evolution do you find evolution of the
anthropoids?

b. no. 6
c. no. 5
d. no. 4
e. no. 3

b. bryophytes.
c. pteridophytes.
d. lycophytes.
page-pf3
4) mutations that result in resistance to specific antibiotics in bacterial organisms occur:
a. only when the bacteria are exposed to the drug to which they become resistant.
b. more often when the bacteria are exposed to the drug.
c. at any time, even when the bacteria are not exposed to the drug.
d. only when the bacteria are exposed to radiation or other mutagens.
5) an insect destroying the ________ layer of tissues in a leaf would lead to a decrease
in the ability of gas exchange within the leaf.
a. spongy mesophyll
b. palisade mesophyll
c. xylem
d. epidermis
e. cuticle
6) which of the following is a disadvantage of maintaining a large territory?
a. there will be a large number of females that reside within the territory.
b. there will be a large diversity of food types within the territory.
c. there will be ample room for nesting sites.
d. it will be energetically expensive to control and defend the territory.
e. all of the choices are disadvantages of a large territory.
7) which of the following coenzymes will accept two electrons and two hydrogens
during oxidation?
a. fad
b. nad+
c. fadh
d. nadh
8) which of the following scenarios would not have been used by mendel during his
page-pf4
research?
a. relied on his memory to remember his data
b. followed the scientific method when designing his experiments
c. used a statistic analysis to determine if his data was valid
d. researched multiple generations of pea plants to help derive his conclusions
9) what kind of receptors are involved in hearing?
a. chemoreceptors
b. photoreceptors
c. pain receptors
d. mechanoreceptors
e. interoceptors
10) which plant hormone produced in apical meristems inhibits the growth of axillary
buds?
a. abscisic acid
b. auxin
c. cytokinin
d. ethylene
e. gibberellin
11) the correct sequence of increasing organizational complexity is
a. organ, tissue, cell, organ system, organism.
b. cell, organ, organ system, tissue, organism.
c. cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism.
d. organism, tissue, cell, organ system, organ.
e. tissue, cell, organ system, organism, organ.
12) all of the following statements are true about squids except
a. squids are continuous feeders.
b. the squid's tentacles seize its prey.
c. the mouth has jaws that bite off pieces of prey with the help of a toothy radula.
d. digestion occurs in the stomach and a cecum.
page-pf5
e. squids are molluscs.
13) descriptions of new species of insects are more likely to contain diagrams of the
shape of the male genitalia than head, wing, or leg parts. why?
a. this is where mutations usually express themselves in animals.
b. radiation damage to genes usually occurs in genitalia.
c. small changes in the genitalia cause reproductive isolation while a single species can
tolerate wider variation in head, wing, and leg morphology.
d. arthropods have hard exoskeletons so head, wing, and leg structures can't vary as
much.
e. this is the convention or custom of entomology.
14) veins primarily depend upon which of the following forces to return blood to the
heart?
a. force of blood entering from the arteries
b. skeletal muscle contraction
c. valves to prevent blood back flow
d. all of the choices apply.

differ in which of the following?
a. the number of fatty acids attached to the glycerol molecule
b. the glycerol molecule
c. the carbon to carbon bonds
d. lipids of the cell membrane do not have hydrophobic sections of the molecule
