prevent it from passing into a given solution by osmosis, often used to express the
concentration of the solution.

73. Which organism is an example of a fungus?

a. Algae b. Yeast c. Eugenoids d. Entamoeba

A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes unicellular

microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as multicellular fungi that produce familiar
fruiting forms known as mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, Fungi,
which is separate from the other eukaryotic life kingdoms of plants and animals.

74. Which of the following is an example of a useful function for bacteria?

76. Which organism is classified under kingdom fungi?

a. Red algae b. Microsporidia c. Diatoms d. Streptococcus

The Microsporidia constitute a group of spore-forming unicellular parasites. They were

once considered protozoans or protists, but are now known to befungi,] or a sister group to
fungi. Loosely 1500 of the probably more than one million species are named now.
Microsporidia are restricted to animal hosts, and all major groups of animals host
microsporidia. Most infectinsects, but they are also responsible for common diseases
of crustaceans andfish. The named species of microsporidia usually infect one host species
or a group of closely related taxa. Several species, most of which are opportunistic, also
infect humans.

77. Humans reproduce when ovum is combined with a sperm leading to the development of an
embryo. This form of reproduction is called __________.

a. asexual reproduction c. budding

b. fertilization d. binary fission

Human fertilization is the union of a human egg and sperm, usually occurring in the
ampulla of the fallopian tube. The result of this union is the production of a zygote cell,
orfertilized egg, initiating prenatal development.

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single

organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes
and almost never changes the number of chromosomes.

10
 Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an
outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. The new organism remains
attached as it grows, separating from the parent organism only when it is mature, leaving
behind scar tissue.

Binary fission ("division in half") is a kind of asexual reproduction. It is the most

common form of reproduction in prokaryotes and occurs in some single-celled eukaryotes.
After replicating its genetic material, the cell divides into two nearly equal sized daughter
cells.

78. The waste product of photosynthesis is __________.

a. carbon monoxide c. carbon dioxide

b. nitrogen d. oxygen

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria and some protistans use
the energy from sunlight to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water. This glucose
can be converted into pyruvate which releases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by cellular
respiration. Oxygen is also formed.

Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.

The overall balanced equation is...
6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Sunlight energy

Where: CO2 = carbon dioxide 

H2O = water
Light energy is required
C6H12O6 = glucose
O2 = oxygen

79. A hypothetical ecosystem contains lettuce (producer), a caterpillar (the primary consumer), a

c. The passerine bird will convert to herbivore.
d. The lettuce will wilt and die.

80. What is the molecule that allows plants to capture energy from sunlight?

a. Oxygen b. Carbohydrates c. ATP d. Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is an extremely important biomolecule, critical in photosynthesis, which

allows plants to absorb energy from light. Chlorophyll absorbs light most strongly in the blue
portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, followed by the red portion. Conversely, it is a poor
absorber of green and near-green portions of the spectrum which it reflects, hence the green
color of chlorophyll-containing tissues.

81. A human arm, a bat’s wing and a seal’s flipper are examples of __________.

1. Wing of a bat and our forearm, or any upper limb of any mammal with other mammals.
These structures have similar arrangement of bones but perform different functions
according to their habitat adaptation.
2. In plants, all the stem modifications or all the root modifications are homologous with each
other. Such structures serve different functions like support, food storage et cetera.

Analogous- different evolutionary origin but same function.

Analogous organs have the following examples:
1. Leaf tendril and stem tendril. Both these perform the function of coiling or support. But one

11
 is of foliar origin and the other if stem.
2. Wings of a bat and that of an insect. Bat wing is a bony structure with association with
underlying muscles. Insect wing are, however, membranous extensions.

82. An important endocrine gland that is shaped like a bow-tie and located in the neck is called
__________.

a. pituitary gland b. parathyroid gland c. adrenal gland d. thyroid gland

Thyroid gland a large ductless gland in the neck that secretes hormones regulating
growth and development through the rate of metabolism; a large cartilage of the larynx, a
projection of which forms the Adam's apple in humans.

Pituitary gland the major endocrine gland. A pea-sized body attached to the base of the
brain, the pituitary is important in controlling growth and development and the functioning of
the other endocrine glands.

The parathyroid glands are four tiny glands, located in the neck, that control the body's
calcium levels. Each gland is about the size of a grain of rice (weighs approximately 30
milligrams and is 3-4 millimeters in diameter). The parathyroids produce a hormone
calledparathyroid hormone (PTH).

The adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are endocrine glands that

produce a variety of hormones including adrenaline and the
steroids aldosterone and cortisol. They are found above the kidneys. Each gland has an
outer cortex which produces steroid hormones and an innermedulla. The adrenal cortex itself
is divided into three zones: zona glomerulosa, the zona fasciculata and the zona reticularis.

83. Which of the following is an organism that feeds on necrotic and decaying matter?

a. Vulture b. Parakeet c. Algae d. Yeast

All species of vulture are similar in the sense that they scavenge for their food whenever
possible rather than killing it themselves. Vultures feed on the remains of dead animals and
are never too fussy about what is left. Vultures are known to strip meat, skin and even
feathers, leaving only the skeleton of the animal remaining.

84. The asexual reproduction which occurs when a new organism develops from an outgrowth is
called __________.

a. fission b. fertilization c. budding d. grafting

Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an

outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. The new organism remains
attached as it grows, separating from the parent organism only when it is mature, leaving
behind scar tissue. Since the reproduction is asexual, the newly created organism is a clone
and is genetically identical to the parent organism.

Fission is the division of a single entity into two or more parts and the regeneration of
those parts into separate entities resembling the original. The object experiencing fission is
usually a cell, but the term may also refer to howorganisms, bodies, populations,
or species split into discrete parts. The fission may be binary fission, in which a single entity
produces two parts, or multiple fission, in which a single entity produces multiple parts.

Grafting or graftage is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants are joined so

as to continue their growth together. The upper part of the combined plant is called the scion
while the lower part is called the rootstock.

85. Predation is a relationship exemplified by __________.

a. an orchid attached to the trunk of a Narra tree.
b. a hunter shooting a duck in the forest and having it for dinner.
c. a tapeworm living in the gastrointestinal tract of a toddler.
d. a clownfish living within a sea anemone.

12
 In an ecosystem, predation is a biological interaction where a predator (an organism
that is hunting) feeds on its prey (the organism that is attacked). Predators may or may not
kill their prey prior to feeding on them, but the act of predation often results in the death of
the prey and the eventual absorption of the prey's tissue through consumption.

86. The molecules that contain an organism’s genetic make-up is called __________.

a. genetic membrane c. nucleolus

b. nucleic acid d. cytosal

Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the

growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and
many viruses. DNA and RNA arenucleic acids; alongside proteins, lipids and complex
carbohydrates (polysaccharides), they are one of the four major types
of macromolecules that are essential for all known forms oflife. Most DNA molecules consist
of two biopolymer strands coiled around each other to form a double helix.

89. What are the small hair-like structures that serve a sensory function in eukaryotic cells?

a. Plasma membrane c. Actin filaments

b. Centromere d. Cilia

A cilium (Latin for eyelash; the plural is cilia) is an organelle found in eukaryotic

cells. Cilia are thick protuberances that project from the much larger cell body. There are two
types of cilia: motile cilia and nonmotile, or primary cilia, which typically serve as sensory
organelles.

Plasma membrane can be defined as a biological membrane or an outer membrane of

a cell, which is composed of two layers of phospholipids and embedded with proteins. It is a
thin semi permeable membrane layer, which surrounds the cytoplasm and other constituents
of the cell.

The centromere is the part of a chromosome that links sister chromatids or a dyad.

During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the centromere via the kinetochore.

Actin filaments (F-actin) are linear polymers of globular actin (G-actin) subunits and

occur as microfilaments in the cytoskeleton and as thin filaments, which are part of the
contractile apparatus, in muscle and nonmuscle cells (see contractile bundles).

90. Who was the father of taxonomy and responsible for coining the term Homo sapiens for
human?

a. Chatton b. Aristotle c. H. Copland d. Linnaeus

Carolus Linnaeus is one of the giants of natural science. He devised the formal two-part
naming system we use to classify all lifeforms. A well-known example of his two-part system
is the dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex; another is our own species – Homo sapiens.
In fact, Linnaeus pushed the science of biology to new heights by describing and classifying
our own human species in precisely the same way as he classified other lifeforms. Other

13
 people at that time demanded that humans must be regarded as a special case in biology,
different from animals.

Édouard Chatton  was a French biologist who first characterized the distinction
between the eukaryotic and prokaryotic systems of cellular organization.

Aristotle  was a Greek philosopher and scientist born in the city

of Stagira,Chalkidice, on the northern periphery of Classical Greece. His writings cover many
subjects – including physics, biology, zoology,metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry,
theater, music, rhetoric,linguistics, politics and government – and constitute the first
comprehensive system of Western philosophy.

a. Charcoal b. Lignite c. Anthracite d. Bituminous

The kinds of coal, in increasing order of alteration, are lignite (brown coal--immature),

sub-bituminous, bituminous, and anthracite (mature). Coal starts off as peat. After a
considerable amount of time, heat, and burial pressure, it is metamorphosed from peat to
lignite.

98. The feeding connections between all life forms are referred to as _________.

a. nutrition cycles c. biochemical pathways

b. food web d. fossil cycle

99. What diagnostic test allows microorganisms to multiply in a medium under controlled
laboratory condition in order to determine the cause of an infectious disease?

a. Microbial culture c. Complete blood count

b. Chest x-ray d. Urinalysis

A microbiological culture, or microbial culture, is a method of

101. This is TRUE of recessive genes.

a. Will only have phenotypic expression if present as a homozygous genotype
b. Should be paired with dominant gene for it to be expressed
c. Will prevent a dominant gene from expressing its phenotype
d. Have more superior phenotypic trait

A recessive gene is a gene that gets trumped by a dominant gene. For example, your

mom's recessive gene for blue eyes was trumped by your dad's dominant gene for brown
eyes. That's how you got stuck with brown eyes. You might remember the
word recessive from biology, where it most often appears.

A dominant gene masks the effects of a recessive gene, and so recessive traits are only
seen when an individual inherits genes that are both recessive - this is expected to occur in
one in every four offspring.

b. Environmental development d. Uncompromising development

105. Which two chemical factors cause decomposition?

a. Putrefaction and respiration c. Autolysis and photosynthesis

b. Death and cellular respiration d. Autolysis and putrefaction

Decomposition in animals is a process that begins immediately after death and involves
the destruction of soft tissue, leaving behind skeletonized remains. The chemical process
of decomposition is complex and involves the breakdown of soft tissue, as the body passes
through the sequential stages of decomposition. Autolysis and putrefaction also play major
roles in the disintegration of cells and tissues.

a. are able to fluoresce in the dark
b. have supersonic eyesight
c. emit sound waves whose returning vibrations can detect the presence of objects
d. can disappear in the dark

Echolocation, also called bio sonar, is the biological sonar used by several kinds

of animals. Echolocating animals emit calls out to the environment and listen to
the echoes of those calls that return from various objects near them. They use these echoes
to locate and identify the objects. Echolocation is used for navigation and for foraging(or
hunting) in various environments. Some blind humans have learned to find their way using
clicks produced by a device or by mouth.
Echolocating animals include some mammals and a few birds; most
notably microchiropteran bats and odontocetes (toothed whales and dolphins), but also in
simpler form in other groups such as shrews, one genus of megachiropteran bats
(Rousettus) and two cave dwelling birdgroups, the so-called cave swiftlets in the
genus Aerodramus (formerlyCollocalia) and the unrelated Oilbird Steatornis caripensis.

108. The protein shell of a virus is called __________.

a. nucleolus b. nucleic acid c. nucleus d. capsid

A capsid is the protein shell of a virus. It consists of several oligomeric structural

subunits made of protein called protomers. The observable 3-dimensional morphological
subunits, which may or may not correspond to individual proteins, are called capsomeres.
The capsid encloses the genetic material of the virus.

The nucleolus  is the largest structure in the nucleus of eukaryoticcells, where it

primarily serves as the site of ribosome synthesis and assembly. Nucleoli also have other
important functions like assembly ofsignal recognition particles and playing a role in the cell's
response to stress. Nucleoli are made of proteins and RNA and form around specific
chromosomal regions. Malfunction of nucleoli can be the cause of several human diseases.

Nucleic acid a complex organic substance present in living cells, especially DNA or
RNA, whose molecules consist of many nucleotides linked in a long chain.

Nucleus a central organelle of a eukaryotic cell, containing most of the cell's DNA.

110. Participation in governance including the right to vote and seek public office is secured
within the citizenry’s __________.

a. right to due process c. political rights

b. right of suffrage d. socio-civic rights

Political rights the rights that involve participation in the establishment or administration
of a government and are usually held to entitle the adult citizen to exercise of the franchise,
the holding of public office, and other political activities.

Due process is the legal requirement that the state must respect all legal rights that are
owed to a person. Due process balances the power of law of the land and protects the
individual person from it. When a government harms a person without following the exact
course of the law, this constitutes a due process violation, which offends the rule of law.

Suffrage, political franchise, or simply franchise is the right to vote in public, political

elections (although the term is sometimes used for any right to vote).

111. The right to search for information is invoked through the __________.

a. writ of habeas corpus c. writ of habeas data

life, liberty or security is violated or threatened by an unlawful act or omission of a public
official or employee, or of a private individual or entity engaged in the gathering, collecting or
storing of data or information regarding the person, family, home and correspondence of the
aggrieved party

A writ of habeas corpus (literally to "produce the body") is a court order to a person

(prison warden) or agency (institution) holding someone in custody to deliver the imprisoned
individual to the court issuing the order.

Writ of certiorari, a type of writ, meant for rare use, by which an appellate court decides to
review a case at its discretion.  The word certioari comes from Law Latin and means "to be
more fully informed."  A writ of certiorari orders a lower court to deliver its record in a case so
that the higher court may review it.  

The petition for a writ of amparo is a remedy available to any person whose right to
life, liberty and security is violated or threatened with violation by an unlawful act or omission
of a public official or employee, or of a private individual or entity.

Philippines and the United States following independence of the Philippines from the United
States.

The Payne–Aldrich Tariff Act of 1909 (named for Representative Sereno E. Payne (R–

NY) and Senator Nelson W. Aldrich (R–RI), began in the United States House of
Representatives as a bill raising certain tariffs on goods entering the United States.

The United States Revenue Act of 1913 also known as the Tariff Act, Underwood

Tariff, Underwood Act, Underwood Tariff Act, or Underwood-Simmons Act re-imposed
the federal income tax following the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment and lowered

18
 basic tariff rates from 40% to 25%, well below the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act of 1909. It was
signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson on October 3, 1913, and was sponsored
byAlabama Representative Oscar Underwood.

The Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act was the first US law passed setting a process and a date
for the Philippines to gain independence from the United States. It was the result of
the OsRox Mission led by Sergio Osmeña andManuel Roxas. The law promised Philippine
independence after 10 years, but reserved several military and naval bases for the United
States, as well as imposed tariffs and quotas on Philippine imports

that the greatest happiness of the greatest number should be the guiding principle of
conduct.

Mercantilism was an economic theory and practice, dominant in modernized parts of

Europe during the 16th to the 18th century, that promoted governmental regulation of a
nation's economy for the purpose of augmenting state power at the expense of rival national
powers.

euthanasia (patient's consent unavailable) is illegal in all countries. Involuntary
euthanasia (without asking consent or against the patient's will) is also illegal in all countries
and is usually considered murder. As of 2006, euthanasia is the most active area of research
in contemporary bioethics.

Capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, is a government sanctioned

practice whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime.
The sentence that someone be punished in such a manner is referred to as a death
sentence, whereas the act of carrying out the sentence is known as an execution. Crimes

Bar graph a diagram in which the numerical values of variables are represented by
the height or length of lines or rectangles of equal width.

A line graph is a visual comparison of how two variables—shown on the x- and y-

axes—are related or vary with each other. It shows related information by drawing a
continuousline between all the points on a grid.

Circle graphs. A circle is the same as 360°. You can divide a circle into smaller
portions. A part of a circle is called an arc and an arc is named according to its angle.
A circle graph, or a pie chart, is used to visualize information and data.

A pie chart (or a circle chart) is a circular statistical graphic, which is divided into

slices to illustrate numerical proportion. In a pie chart, the arc length of each slice (and
consequently its central angle and area), is proportional to the quantity it represents. While it
is named for its resemblance to a pie which has been sliced, there are variations on the way
it can be presented.
