I. Read the statements carefully and choose the correct and best answer among the options below. Write your answer in
CAPITAL letters. (15 pts)

___________ 01. Air pressure and blood pressure are being quantified with which of the following units?

A. MMHG C. mmHg

B. mmHG D. MMHg

___________ 02. In humans, respiration happens because of the difference in the pressure in the internal body and the environment.
Which of the following demonstrates negative pressure breathing in humans?
A. Volume of rib cage increases, pressure in lung increases
B. Volume of rib cage increases, pressure in lung decreases
C. Volume of rib cage decreases, pressure in lung increases
D. Volume of rib cage decreases, pressure in lung decreases

___________ 03. One of the factors that affect gas exchange is the rate of diffusion. What could possibly happen when a terrestrial
animal moves to a place above the normal sea level?
A. Rate of oxygen diffusion increases.
B. Rate of oxygen diffusion decreases.
C. Rate of oxygen diffusion remains constant.
D. Rate of oxygen diffusion stays unaffected.

___________ 04. According to Fick's Law of Diffusion, the rate of diffusion is affected by which of the following factors?
A. Altitude/elevation and atmospheric pressure
B. Partial pressure and concentration difference
C. Surface of the membrane area and partial pressure
D. Concentration difference and surface of the membrane area

___________ 05. Which of the following correctly describes the direction of gas diffusion when there is a concentration difference in
pressure gradients?
A. gas moves from a region of higher pressure to a region of lower pressure
B. gas moves from a region of lower pressure to a region of higher volume
C. gas moves from a region of higher volume to a region of lower volume
D. gas moves from a region of higher volume to a region of lower pressure

___________ 06. Among the given environments, which of them have more oxygen available for animals to use?

A. warm and salty water C. warm and fresh water

B. cold and salty water D. cold and fresh water

___________ 07. Oxygen is an essential gas that our body requires in order for our cells to function. Among the given statements
which of the following is the nature of oxygen when mixed to the water and/or air?
A. Oxygen dissolves easily both in air and water.
B. Oxygen dissolves quickly both in air and water.
C. Oxygen dissolves more easily in water than in air.
D. Oxygen dissolves more quickly in air than in water.

___________ 08. Our body organs receive oxygen as it was transported in the blood after it was dissolved in the water content of our
blood. Temperature plays a role in the amount of gasses dissolved in liquid, specifically water. Which of the following situations will
happen when a gas is dissolved in hot water and in cold water?
A. There is less dissolved gas in cold water.
B. There is more dissolved gas in hot water.
C. There is higher gas dissolved in hot water.
D. There is higher gas dissolved in cold water.
___________ 09. Blood in vertebrates and invertebrates are composed of oxygen-binding proteins that helps them perform respiration.
What is the difference between the blood of invertebrates and vertebrates?
A. Invertebrates have hemoglobin while vertebrates have hemocyanin.
B. Invertebrates have hemocyanin while vertebrates have hemoglobin.
C. Vertebrates have reddish blood color while invertebrates have bluish blood color.
D. Vertebrates have copper in their blood while invertebrates have iron in their blood.

___________ 10. Which of the following is true about the presence and role of hemoglobin in human blood?
A. Hemoglobin only carries copper.
B. Hemoglobin carries oxygen and copper.
C. Hemoglobin only carries carbon dioxide and iron.
D. Hemoglobin carries both oxygen and carbon dioxide.

For Items 11 to 15, refer to the following choices:

A. Stabilization of body temperature.
B. Protection against pathogens and blood loss injuries.
C. Transport of dissolved gases, nutrients, hormones, and metabolic wastes.
D. Regulation of the pH through the blood buffering system and electrolytes of interstitial fluids throughout the
body.

D___________ 11. Controlling and maintaining the body's pH level with its components while ensuring the water level inside the
body cells. Which of the following functions of the blood is related to the given statement?

A___________ 12. Distribution of heat throughout the body to ensure that natural balance is maintained. Which of the following
functions of the blood is related to the given statement?

B___________ 13. Ensuring the body's defense mechanism against disease-causing organisms as well as creating antibodies and
controlling blood clotting. Which of the following functions of the blood is related to the given statement?

C___________ 14. It delivers oxygen from the lungs to all body parts as it is bound to the hemoglobin. Which of the following
functions of the blood is related to the given statement?

C___________ 15. The removal of excretory products as delivered by the blood from the tissues towards the designated excretory
organs. Which of the following functions of the blood is related to the given statement?
II. Identify what type of blood components are described by each statement. Write PSM if it refers to Plasma, RBC for Red
Blood Cells, WBC for White Blood Cells, and BPL for Blood Platelets. Put the letters of the correct answer before the number
of each item. (15 pts.)

PSM________ 01. albumin PSM________ 06. globulin RBC________ 11. no nucleus
