GRADED A+
The first four steps on the scientific method are as follows:
I. Identify the problem.
II. Ask questions.
III. Develop a hypothesis.
Iv. Collect data and experiment on that data.
Which of the following is the fifth step in the scientific method?
A. Observe the data.
B. Analyze the results.
C. Measure the data.
D. Develop a conclusion.
B. Analyze the results.
- There are six steps in the scientific process. The results of step four
must be analyzed before reaching the final step. "Develop a
conclusion."
Which of the following is FALSE regarding the use of qualitative and
quantitative data in scientific research?
A. Quantitative data is collected through numerical measurements.
B. Quantitative data is more accurate than qualitative data.
,C. Qualitative data is focused on perspectives and behavior.
D. Qualitative data is collected through observation and interviews.
B. Quantitative data is more accurate than qualitative data.
The two types of measurement important in science are qualitative
(When a numerical result is used) and qualitative (when
descriptions or qualities are reported).
- Qualitative data is collected through observation and interviews,
and focuses on the informant's behavior and perspectives.
THE NEXT QUESTION REFERS TO THE FOLLOWING
GRAPHICS:
The chart above shows the average snowfall in inches for a two on
Michigan's Upper Peninsula, during the months November through
April. Which of the following can be concluded based on the
information that is provided in the chart?
A. April is not a good month to go skiing in the Upper Peninsula.
B. Snowfall blocks the sunshine reduces the number of sunny days.
C. The fewest sunny days occur in the months with the heaviest
snowfall.
D. There is no connection between the amount of snowfall and the
number of sunny days.
C.
The chart shows two specific changes: snowfall levels from November
to April and sunny days from November to April.
Which of the following statements correctly describes the function of the
corresponding physiologic structure?
A. The trachea connects the throat and the stomach, encouraging food to
follow this path through contractions.
,B. The esophagus is the cylindrical portion of the respiratory tract that
joins the larynx with the lungs.
C. the diaphragm is a muscle that controls the height of the thoracic
cavity, decreasing the height on contraction, and increasing the height on
relaxation causing expiration.
D. The epiglottis covers the trachea during swallowing, preventing food
from entering the airway.
D. The epiglottis covers the trachea during swelling, thus preventing
food from entering the airway.
- The trachea (windpipe) is cylindrical portion of the reparatory tract that
joins the larynx with the lungs.
- The esophagus connects the throat and the stomach. When a person
swallows, the esophagus contracts to force the food down into the
stomach. The esophagus secretes mucus for lubrication.
- The diaphragm is a muscle that controls the height of the thoracic
cavity, increasing the height on contraction (inspiration), and decreasing
the height on relaxation (expiration).
Which of the following is an example of the location and function of
cartilage int he body?
A. The dense connective tissue that comprises the better part of the
structural skeleton.
B. The supportive pads that provide cushion at joints, such as between
the vertebrae of the spinal cord.
C. The connective structure made of fibrous collagen that connects
muscles and bones, such as the connection of the patella to the
quadricep.
D. The layer beneath the skin and on the outside of internal organs that
provides cushioning and protection.
B. The pads that support the vertebrae are made up of cartilage.
, - Cartilage, a strong form of connective tissue, cushions ad supports the
joints. Cartilage also makes up the larynx and the outer ear.
- Bone is a form of connective tissue that comprises the better part of the
skeleton. It includes both organic and inorganic substances.
- Tendons connect the muscles to other structures of the body, typically
bones. Tendons can increase and decrease in length as the bones move.
- Fat is a combination of lipids; in humans, fat forms a layer beneath the
skin and on the outside of the internal organs.
Two criteria for classifying epithelial tissue are:
A. Cell type and cell function
B. Cell shape and cell type
C. Cell layers and cell shape
D. Cell function and cell layers
C. Cell layers and cell shape are the criteria for classifying epithelial
tissue.
- Cell layers refers to the amount of cells that separate the basement
membrane from the surface, such as a simple single layer, a stratified
layer (2 or more), or a pseudostratfied layer.
- Cell shapes refer to the shape of the outer cells and can be squamous,
columnar or cuboidal.
Where is the parathyroid gland located?
A. On the lateral lobes of the thyroid gland, on the posterior aspect.
B. On the pyramidal lobe of the thyroid gland, on the posterior aspect.
C. On the lateral thyroid gland, on the anterior aspect.
D. On the left lateral lobe of the thyroid gland, on the anterior aspect.
A. The parathyroid gland is located on the lateral lobes of the thyroid
gland in the neck, on the posterior aspect.
- It is part of the endocrine system.
