Which of the following is a descriptive, generalized body of scientific observations?

Which of the following types of cells are the main transporters of oxygen through the body?

Which of the following is the general term for a chemical substance that the body produces and transports through the blood to stimulate a cellular response?

A chemist finds a bottle of hydrochloric acid in his laboratory. Although the chemical is labeled properly, the concentration is not included. He decides to determine the concentration of the acid by performing an acid-base titration reaction. To perform this reaction, he adds a known volume and concentration of strong base to the acid while measuring the pH of the combined acid and base. Once a neutral pH is obtained, the reaction has proceeded to completion and the concentration of the acid may be calculated. In this reaction, what is the dependent variable?

The graph below shows how pH affects the rate of enzyme action for two digestive enzymes.

If the small intestine has a pH higher than 7, what happens to the activity of gastric protease when it enters the small intestine?

Which of the following occurs due to a hypersensitivity in the immune system that causes an inflammatory response to a common material?

The exchange of gases and blood happens in which of the following parts of the respiratory system?

Which of the following glands provides nourishment for sperm, as well as the majority of the fluid that combines with sperm to form semen?

Which of the following is the largest branch of the abdominal aorta, which supplies oxygenated blood to the upper digestive tract?

When benzene burns completely in excess oxygen, which combustion products should form?

Which of the following is a heterogeneous mixture?

Which of the following is the element of blood that comprises most of its total volume?

HCl(aq) + H₂O(l) → Cl⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

A scientist does a monohybrid cross to determine how a trait is inherited and finds that the trait is mostly seen in male offspring. What type of inheritance pattern does this gene show?

Which of the following is the network of capillaries in the kidneys where filtration begins?
