a) Anatomy
b) Physiology
c) Histology
d) Embryology
e) Cytology
Difficulty: Easy | Bloomcode: Knowledge | LO: 1.1 | Section: 1.1
Question 2 (Multiple Choice)
A group of cells that work together to perform a particular function is called:
a) Tissue
b) Organ
c) Molecule
d) Organ system
e) Organism
Difficulty: Easy | Bloomcode: Knowledge | LO: 1.2 | Section: 1.2
Question 3 (Multiple Selection)
Which of the following are life processes of the human organism? (Select all that
apply)
a) Metabolism
b) Anabolism
c) Catabolism
d) Responsiveness
e) Differentiation
Answer: a, b, c, d, e (All are life processes)
Difficulty: Medium | Bloomcode: Comprehension | LO: 1.3 | Section: 1.3
Question 4 (Essay)
,Explain how reproduction, differentiation, and growth are interrelated in the
human body.
Answer: Reproduction occurs through fertilization of an ovum, forming a zygote.
Repeated cell divisions and differentiation (cells becoming specialized) lead to
growth and development of tissues, organs, and the entire organism.
