Triglycerides are composed of:
monosaccharides
a glycerol plus three glycogen chains
a glycerol plus three amino acid chains
a glycerol plus three fatty acid chains
The Correct Answer is D
A. monosaccharides: Monosaccharides are the building blocks of carbohydrates, not lipids.
B. a glycerol plus three glycogen chains: Glycogen is a polysaccharide, not a component of triglycerides.
C. a glycerol plus three amino acid chains: Amino acids form proteins, not triglycerides.
D. a glycerol plus three fatty acid chains: A triglyceride is made of one glycerol molecule and three fatty acids-this is the primary structure of fats.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. compounds that are ionically bonded together: Ionic compounds (like NaCl) dissociate easily in water because water's polarity can separate the positive and negative ions.
B. carbon-hydrogen chains, like saturated fats: These are nonpolar covalent compounds and are hydrophobic, so they don’t dissolve or dissociate well in water.
C. compounds that are covalently bonded together: Covalent bonds are strong and molecules remain intact in water; they don’t dissociate into ions.
D. compounds with covalent and some polar covalent bonds: These might partially dissolve but don’t dissociate readily into ions like ionic compounds do.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. As body temperature rises, sweating occurs to cool the body:
An example of negative feedback, where the body counters a change to restore normal state.
B. After drinking large amounts of water, urine output decreases to raise blood volume:
Urine output would actually increase to excrete the excess water and maintain volume.
C. Decreases in blood pressure cause a corresponding decrease in heart rate:
A decrease in blood pressure should cause the heart rate to increase (compensatory response).
D. As blood pressure falls, blood flow to the heart decreases:
The body usually increases heart rate and vasoconstriction to maintain cardiac output.
