College Adaptations and Behavior
You look all over for your glasses and then find them pushed back onto your forehead. This experience could be attributed to                        .
  1. a transduction error
  2. sensation amplification
  3. sensory adaptation
  4. perception mapping
College Atmosphere
The Coriolis effect
  1. keeps Earth from spinning too fast.
  2. is caused by the Moon.
  3. results in ice and dark at the poles in winter.
  4. keeps the wind circulating at constant speed around the planet.
  5. is caused by Earth's rotational forces.
College Zoology
Which of the following could be considered the most recent common ancestor of living tetrapods?
  1. a sturdy-finned, shallow-water lobe-fin whose appendages had skeletal supports similar to those of terrestrial vertebrates
  2. an armored gnathostome with two pairs of appendages
  3. an early ray-finned fish that developed bony skeletal supports in its paired fins
  4. a salamander that had legs supported by a bony skeleton but moved with the side-to-side bending typical of fish
College Taxonomy
Most bilaterians have a coelom (fluid- or air-filled body cavity), which is important for all of the following, EXCEPT                                                                                  .
  1. cushioning organs
  2. acting as a hydrostatic skeleton
  3. allowing for independent movement of internal organs
  4. enabling the concentration of sensory equipment at the anterior end of the animal
College Nervous and Endocrine Systems
The                 branch of the nervous system receives sensory information and controls muscle movements.
  1. central
  2. sensory-motor
  3. vagal
  4. somatic
  5. autonomic
College Zoology
Which of these statements about tetrapod blood vessels is correct?
  1. Arteries carry blood toward the atria of the heart.
  2. The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart.
  3. Pulmonary veins carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart.
  4. Arteries carry oxygenated blood; veins carry oxygen-poor blood.
College Scientific Method
Application of the scientific method involves                                              .
  1. gathering observations
  2. developing a hypothesis based on observations
  3. testing the hypothesis
  4. all of the above
  5. a and b only
College Nervous and Endocrine Systems
The gray matter of the cerebral cortex, where most higher-level thinking occurs, is composed mostly of                         .
  1. motor neuron cell bodies
  2. glial cells
  3. interneuron cell bodies
  4. axons of sensory cells
College Adaptations and Behavior
Compound eyes are advantageous for small prey species to detect a potential predator because                                                                      .
  1. compound eyes allow animals to detect ultraviolet radiation
  2. with compound eyes, the brain forms many separate visual images
  3. light is not necessary for compound eyes to produce action potentials
  4. they permit sensitive motion detection
College Anatomy and Physiology

  1. be completely color-blind
  2. have poor night vision
  3. only be able to see colors under bright light
  4. be totally blind
College Zoology
One feature that amphibians and humans have in common is                                                  .
  1. a complete separation of circuits for circulation
  2. the number of heart chambers
  3. a low blood pressure in the systemic circuit
  4. the number of circuits for circulation
College Biology

  1. Urinating
  2. Menstrual Cycle
  3. Surfing the Net
  4. Eating
College Matter
