Which of the following does not happen during mitosis? A. None of the above B. Movement of the chromosomes towards the center C. Replication of DNA strands D. Coiling up of chromatin 10. What will happen if the white blood cells are deteriorating? A. There will be no production of hormone to clot the blood B. The harmful bacteria in the body will not be destroyed C. The nerve impulses will not be carried to the brain D. Oxygen cells will not be transported 11. Ferns, gymnosperms and flowering plants are vascular plants because __________________. A. They are seed bearing plants B. They develop from an embryo C. The have a water nutrient transport system D. They have specialized stems for storage 12. What best describes a cold blooded animal?

A. golgi apparatus B. cell wall C. nucleus D. lysosomes 17. Rice, the staple food of many Filipinos, could be categorized to belong in: Kingdom Plantae Phylum Anthophyta Class Monocotyledonae Order Glumiflorae Family Poaceae Genus Oryza Species Sativa What is the scientific name of rice? A. Monocotyledonae Sativa B. Oryza sativa C. Glumiflorae sativa D. Poaceae Sativa 18. Which best describes the composition and organization of the human body? A. organs > tissue > system B. bones > muscle > skin > system C. cells > organs > parts > system D. cells > tissues > organs > system

19. Plants give off oxygen as a by product of photosynthesis. While human beings and animals give off carbon dioxide. What symbiotic relationship occurs between the two? A. commensalism B. parasitism C. realism D. mutualism 20. What differentiates a eukaryotic cell from a prokaryotic cell? A. Presence of true nucleus B. Presence of chromosomes C. None of the above D. Presence of cell membrane 21. One phylum of animals, the chordates, has been more intensively studied than has any other, because it comprises nearly all the world's largest and most familiar animals as well as humans. The feature uniting these animals is that at some stage in their lives, all have a flexible supporting rod, called a ___________. A. redochord B. notochord C. spina D. phyochord 22. A new insecticide was very effective in killing flies and mosquitoes. After several months, fewer insects were observed to die from the spray. The reason why fewer insects are killed is that ___________. A. There is permanent mutation giving insects resistance to the insecticide. B. Insects which survive the spraying developed a liking for the insecticide. C. The insecticides effectiveness was reduced with aging D. Insects which survive the spraying have developed immunity to the insecticide. 23. Which of the following is not true about vertebrates? A. None of the above. B. They belong to the phylum chordates. C. They are all warm blooded. D. They all have notochords 24. The skin is composed of tissues wherein cells are compactly arranged. This tissues are called _______. A. epidermis B. Connective C. Plasmic D. Epithelial

Plants have an anti-digestion substance in them C. They are poisonous. D. We cant chew them properly. 26. Genes carry the hereditary information from one offspring to another.

Their body temperature drops, and they breathe only a few times in a minute. A hibernating animal uses the fat store in its body for nourishment. In times of severe heat, other animals may estivate. Just as with hibernating animals, the body function of estivating animals slow down almost to a stop. To an observer, the animal appears to be either in deep sleep or dead.
