Innate immunity and adaptive immunity are two arms of the immune system that work together to protect the body from pathogens. Innate immunity is the first line of defense and is present at birth. It includes physical and chemical barriers such as the skin, mucous membranes, and antimicrobial peptides, as well as cells such as macrophages and natural killer cells that can quickly recognize and atack pathogens. Innate immunity is nonspecific, meaning it responds to a wide variety of pathogens in a similar way.

Adaptive immunity, on the other hand, is acquired after exposure to pathogens. It involves the production of antibodies and activation of T cells, which are specific to particular pathogens. Adaptive immunity takes longer to develop than innate immunity, but it provides a more specific and targeted response to pathogens. Once the adaptive immune system has been activated against a particular pathogen, it can provide long-term protection against future infections with that pathogen.

Option b) is incorrect because innate immunity is nonspecific while adaptive immunity is specific. Option c) is incorrect because antibodies are a part of adaptive immunity while T cells can be a part of both innate and adaptive immunity. Option d) is incorrect because adaptive immunity can provide long-term protection, while innate immunity provides immediate but short-lived protection.

• A. Adduction → Moving a limb toward the midline of the body. ❌
• B. Extension → Increasing the angle of a joint (e.g., straightening the arm or leg). ❌
• C. Flexion → Decreasing the angle of a joint (e.g., bending the elbow or knee). ❌
• D. Abduction → Moving a limb away from the midline (e.g., raising the arm or leg sideways). ✅

• A. Nanolitres (nL) → Extremely small unit (1 nL = 0.000000001 L), used for microscopic measurements. ❌
• B. Microlitres (µL) → Also very small (1 µL = 0.000001 L), used in lab settings. ❌
• C. Litres (L) → Too large, as typical urine output per hour is much less than 1 L. ❌
• D. Millilitres (mL) → Suitable, since normal urine output per hour is about 30-80 mL. ✅

The chemical formula for water is H2O. It consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

The three major pairs of salivary glands are the parod glands, sublingual glands, and submandibular glands. The parotid glands are located just in front of your ears. The sublingual glands are below either side of your tongue, under the floor of your mouth. The submandibular glands are located below your jaw ¹.

The epididymis is a coiled tube located at the back of each testicle where the sperm mature and are stored until ejaculation. Sperm are produced in the testes and then transported to the epididymis where they undergo maturation and become motile. The epididymis provides a protective environment for the sperm, allowing them to mature and become more resilient to external stressors. During ejaculation, the sperm are transported from the epididymis to the vas deferens and then to the urethra for ejaculation.

Isotonic and isometric contractions are two types of muscle contractions that differ in the amount of force produced and the movement of the muscle. In isotonic contractions, the muscle changes length and produces movement, such as lifting a weight. The force generated by the muscle remains constant throughout the movement. Isotonic contractions can be further classified as concentric contractions, in which the muscle shortens as it contracts, and eccentric contractions, in which the muscle lengthens as it contracts.

In contrast, isometric contractions occur when the muscle generates force without changing its length or producing movement. For example, holding a weight in a fixed position without moving it requires an isometric contraction. In an isometric contraction, the force generated by the muscle increases up to a maximum and then remains constant. Isometric contractions can be used to build strength and endurance in the muscle, but they do not produce movement.

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is responsible for carrying amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule has a specific ancodon that matches a codon on the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. The tRNA molecule binds to the mRNA codon and brings the corresponding amino acid to the ribosome, where it is added to the growing polypepde chain.

• A. Sarcoplasmic Reticulum → A specialized endoplasmic reticulum in muscle cells that stores and releases calcium for muscle contraction. ❌
• B. Muscle Fiber → Another name for a muscle cell, which is a long, cylindrical, multinucleated cell that makes up muscle tissue. ✅
• C. Sarcolemma → The cell membrane of a muscle fiber, which surrounds the muscle cell. ❌
• D. Myofilament → Protein structures (actin and myosin) within a muscle fiber that are responsible for contraction. ❌

Carbohydrates are one of the main types of biomolecules and are composed of monomers called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are simple sugars that cannot be further broken down into simpler sugars. They are usually composed of 3 to 7 carbon atoms and have a general formula of (CH2O)n, where n is a number between 3 and 7. Examples of monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose.

When two monosaccharides are joined together by a glycosidic bond, they form a disaccharide. Disaccharides are composed of two simple sugars and can be broken down into their constituent monosaccharides by hydrolysis. Examples of disaccharides include sucrose, lactose, and maltose.

Option a) is incorrect because it describes the composition of a disaccharide, not a monosaccharide. Option

c) is incorrect because both monosaccharides and disaccharides can be found in both plants and animals.

Option d) is incorrect because both monosaccharides and disaccharides can be used for energy storage and

structural purposes, depending on their specific structure and function in the organism.
