On successful completion of this course, you should be able to:
- identify the roles of the major physiological systems in diverse animals and how they are regulated through electrical and chemical signals to achieve change or maintain homeostasis
- explain the role of nerves, muscles and cell signalling pathways, and how they contribute to control of physiological processes
- articulate the role of physiological systems and processes in disease and dysfunction
- compare the nature of interactions between organisms at the level of the population, the community and the ecosystem
- discuss the mechanisms by which evolution generates biological diversity, and how this is important for ecosystem health
Question 1
In contrast to passive transport, all forms of active transport require ATP as a source of energy.
- True CDFalse
- Question 2
Quechua natives have barrel chests as an adaptation to living at high altitude for generations. If a Quechua woman conceived a child at high altitude but all of the embryonic development and childhood occurred at sea level, the child would not be expected to develop a barrel chest as they got older.
0 True False - Question 3
The stomach has deep pits on the surface to increase the rates of absorption of carbohydrates, such as glucose.
0 True 0 False - Question 4
The trachea in insects are like those in humans. They bring air from the mouth to the site of gas exchange.
CDTrue C) False
Question 5
Epithelial tissues are normally found lining the inner surface of organs, such as adrenal glands and heart.
CDTrue C) False
Question 6
The myenteric plexus is a collection of nerves that exists within the hypothalamus that controls circular and longitudinal muscles of the GI tract.
CDTrue C) False
Question 7
The simplest of animals possesses a closed circulatory system.
CDTrue 0 False
Question 8
The four main elements of the central nervous system are the afferent division, the somatic system, the parasympathetic and sympathetic division.
0 True 0 False
Question 38
Cayenne peppers taste hot because they bind to thermoreceptors and cause local heating.
0 True 0 False
Question 39

Question 60
The first line of defense against an external pathogen is a robust adaptive immune system.
0 True C) False
Question 61
Ectotherms regulate a combination of heat production and heat loss to ensure that their body temperature remains within a narrow range.
0 True () False
Question 62
Juvenile hormone and estradiol are the main two hormones that control insect growth and development, usually acting in reciprocal ways on processes and signaling pathways.
0 True 0 False
Question 63
When a cell is in osmotic equilibrium with the external fluid, there is no movement of water molecules across the plasma membrane.
0 True V 0 False
