Question #1
The blood vessel with the highest blood pressure is the:
A. Vena cava
B. Aorta
C. Capillary
D. Pulmonary artery

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The aorta receives blood directly from the left ventricle under high pressure (systolic ~120 mmHg). Pressure decreases as blood moves through arteries, capillaries, and veins. Vena cava pressure is near zero.

Question #2
Which organelle is known as the 'powerhouse of the cell'?
A. Nucleus
B. Golgi apparatus
C. Ribosome
D. Mitochondria

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Mitochondria produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation in the inner membrane. They are double-membrane organelles with their own DNA (mtDNA) and 70S ribosomes, supporting the endosymbiotic theory. The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix. Nucleus controls cell activities, ribosomes synthesize proteins, Golgi apparatus packages and modifies proteins. Mitochondria are abundant in energy-demanding cells like muscle cells.

Question #3
During inspiration, the diaphragm:
A. Contracts and flattens
B. Remains unchanged
C. Moves laterally
D. Relaxes and becomes dome-shaped

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Inspiration (inhalation) occurs when the intra-pulmonary pressure is less than the atmospheric pressure. This is achieved by the contraction of the diaphragm, which flattens and moves downwards, and the contraction of external intercostal muscles, which lift the ribs and sternum. This increases the thoracic volume and lung capacity, drawing air in. Expiration involves relaxation of these muscles.
