These are from Kaplan and I don't have the answer key so I just want to know if any of u know the ansers for these.

Which of the following does not occur in the stomach
A.Mechanical breakdown of food
B.Digestion of proteins
C.Secretion of acidic juice
D.Digestion of carbohydrates
E.All of them occur in stomach
*I know that mechanical breakdown of food occur in stomach. Digestion of protein happens due to pepsin. It secretes gastric juice and I don’t know if it’s same as acidic juice. I don’t know where carbohydrates are digested.

Which of the following is characterized by specializing stinging cells?
A.Protests
B.Cnidarians
C.Arthropods
D.Amphibians
E.Reptiles

In plants, the actively dividing, undifferentiated cells are called
A.Cambium
B.Xylem
C.Pyhloem
D.Root hair
E.Mesemchyme

Which of the following hormone is derived from an amino acid?
A.ADH
B.Insulin
C.Thyroxine
D.Oxytocin
E.FTH


The similarity between bird and bat wings is an example of
A.Divergent evolution
B.Convergent evolution
C.Adaptive radiation
D.Phylogeny recapitulating ontology
E.Genetic drift


Which of the following hormone is not protein
A.Trypsin
B.ADH
C.Progesterone
D.Insulin
E.Glucagons

*I don’t know if it’s really important to remember which hormone is protein and which is not, because I just memorize hormone, where it is made and secreted, and their function. I never expected to see this problem and I don’t see the point 

C.Secretion of acidic juice
D.Digestion of carbohydrates (It starts in the Mouth with amylase and then the low pH of the stomach denatures mucin and other enzymes that inhibit carbs digestion)

These are from the Kaplan CD and the answers are there.

A.Protests
B.Cnidarians-these are hydra and jellyfish. Jellyfish sting.
C.Arthropods
D.Amphibians
E.Reptiles

In plants, the actively dividing, undifferentiated cells are called
A.Cambium-You already posted a question on this one. Cambrium=meristem
B.Xylem-goes up
C.Pyhloem-brings down
D.Root hair
E.Mesemchyme-You could be tempted to answer this one, thinking meristem, but this is embryonic connective tissue. Not even present in plants.

The similarity between bird and bat wings is an example of
A.Divergent evolution-think of diverged=split. Like a "v" where there is a common ancestor and then two species will evolve independently. Homologous structures.
B.Convergent evolutionanalogous structures - look at your bio text for this stuff. Place where Kaplan is weak.
C.Adaptive radiation
D.Phylogeny recapitulating ontology
E.Genetic drift-KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GENETIC DRIFT AND FLOW

Just my $.02. Definately find a source other than kaplan for genetics and evolution. The rest should be in there.

Good luck joon,
Mack

and yes you should know which hormones are steroidal and which are proteins.

by the way Kim, you just asked about Cambium and Digestion in posts this last week....I remember answering in those threads. Need to let that stuff sink in cause you just asked those same question here.
