How many mL of a 0 M stock solution of HCl should be added to water to create 250 mL of a 50 M solution of HCl?
- A. 31.25 mL
- B. 32 mL
- C. 30 mL
- D. 31.3 mL
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To prepare 250 mL of a 50 M solution of HCl, the formula V1 x C1 = V2 x C2 is used, where V1 is the volume of the stock solution, C1 is the concentration of the stock solution, V2 is the final volume of the desired solution, and C2 is the final concentration of the desired solution. Given V1 x 0 M = 250 mL x 50 M, solving for V1 results in V1 = (250 mL x 50 M) / 0 M = 32 mL. Therefore, 32 mL of the 0 M stock solution of HCl needs to be added to water to create a 250 mL solution of 50 M HCl. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the accurate volume required for the dilution calculation based on the given concentrations and volumes in the problem.

Blood type is a trait determined by multiple alleles, with IA coding for A blood, IB coding for B blood, and i coding for O blood being recessive. If an individual with A heterozygosity and an O individual have a child, what is the probability that the child will have A blood?
- A. 25%
- B. 50%
- C. 75%
- D. 100%
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When an A heterozygote individual (IAi) and an O individual (ii) have a child, there are four possible combinations of alleles that the child can inherit: IA from the A parent and i from the O parent; IA from the A parent and i from the O parent; i from the A parent and i from the O parent; i from the A parent and i from the O parent. Out of these combinations, 50% of the offspring will inherit the A allele from the A parent, resulting in A blood type. Therefore, the correct answer is 50%. Choice A is incorrect because the probability is not 25%. Choice C is incorrect as it overestimates the likelihood. Choice D is incorrect as it suggests a certainty which is not the case in genetics.
What are the three types of capillaries?
- A. Continuous, fenestrated, sinusoidal
- B. Continuous, discontinuous, fenestrated
- C. Sinusoidal, alveolar, continuous
- D. Continuous, fenestrated, vascular
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Continuous, fenestrated, sinusoidal. Capillaries are classified into three types based on their permeability: continuous (least permeable), fenestrated (moderately permeable), and sinusoidal (most permeable). Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the three main types of capillaries. Choice B includes 'discontinuous' which is not a recognized type. Choice C includes 'alveolar' which is not a type of capillary, and Choice D includes 'vascular' which is too broad and not specific to capillary classification.
Smooth muscle is the only ____________ muscle in the body.
- A. Voluntary, striated
- B. Involuntary, non-striated
- C. Involuntary, striated
- D. Voluntary, non-striated
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Smooth muscle is the only involuntary, non-striated muscle type in the body. It is found in organs like the intestines and blood vessels, where it controls movements without conscious effort. Choice A is incorrect because voluntary muscles are under conscious control, while smooth muscle is involuntary. Choice C is incorrect because striations are not present in smooth muscle, unlike skeletal muscle. Choice D is incorrect because smooth muscle is not voluntary and lacks striations, making it different from skeletal muscle.
Which of the following systems does not include a transportation network throughout the body?
- A. Cardiovascular system
- B. Endocrine system
- C. Immune system
- D. Nervous system
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The endocrine system does not include a transportation network throughout the body. While the cardiovascular system transports blood, oxygen, and nutrients, the immune system has lymphatic vessels for immune cell transportation, and the nervous system transmits signals via neurons. In contrast, the endocrine system coordinates bodily functions by releasing hormones directly into the bloodstream, which then act on target organs or tissues. This delivery mechanism is different from the continuous transportation networks found in the other systems listed, making the endocrine system the correct choice for this question.
What are the three layers of the skin?
- A. Epidermis, dermis, subdermis
- B. Epidermis, dermis, hypodermis
- C. Dermis, subdermis, hypodermis
- D. Epidermis, dermis, adipose layer
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Epidermis, dermis, hypodermis. The three layers of the skin are the epidermis (outer layer), dermis (middle layer), and hypodermis (inner layer of fat and connective tissue). The hypodermis is also known as the subcutaneous tissue and is primarily composed of adipose (fat) tissue, providing insulation and padding to the body. Choice A is incorrect as 'subdermis' is not a recognized layer of the skin. Choice C is incorrect as 'dermis' is the middle layer, not the outer layer. Choice D is incorrect as the layer below the dermis is the hypodermis, not specifically an 'adipose layer.'
