Worked practice questions

In humans, which chamber of the heart pumps oxygenated blood to the entire body?

  1. Right ventricle
  2. Left atrium
  3. Right atrium
  4. Left ventricle
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Left ventricle

The left ventricle has the thickest muscular wall and pumps oxygenated blood through the aorta to the whole body. The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood only to the lungs.

The filtration units of the kidney are called

  1. nephrons
  2. neurons
  3. nephridia
  4. alveoli
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. nephrons

Each kidney contains about a million nephrons, the structural and functional filtration units that filter blood and form urine.

During strenuous exercise, muscle cells respire anaerobically. The product that causes muscle cramps is

  1. pyruvate
  2. ethanol
  3. carbon dioxide only
  4. lactic acid
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. lactic acid

When oxygen is insufficient, pyruvate is converted to lactic acid in muscle cells (anaerobic respiration). Its accumulation causes cramps. Ethanol is the product in yeast, not muscle.
