6.2 RAD Vocab BA Practice

The practice of separating infected people or animals to avoid spreading a disease.

• Structure

• Organelles

• Quarantine

• Stem Cells

Answer explanation

The correct answer is 'Quarantine', which refers to the practice of isolating infected individuals or animals to prevent the spread of disease. The other options do not relate to this concept.

A system composed of cells, a subsystem of organs.

• Scale

• Optimize

• Tissue

• Cell Membrane

Answer explanation

The correct answer is 'Tissue' because tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform specific functions, forming a subsystem of organs in a biological system.

Breaks down food into energy that the cell can use.

• Mitochondria

• Investigation

• Microscopic

• Multicellular

Answer explanation

The mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, as they break down food into energy (ATP) that cells can use for various functions, making them the correct answer.

An tool that magnifies and allows the user to see object too small to be seen.

• Microscopic

• Microscope

• Stem Cells

• Mitochondria

Answer explanation

The correct answer is 'Microscope' as it is a tool specifically designed to magnify small objects, allowing users to see details that are not visible to the naked eye. Other options do not fit this definition.

A group of organs that work together to perform specific functions.

• Organ System

• Cell Membrane

• Treatment Plan

• Standard of Comparison

Answer explanation

An organ system is a group of organs that collaborate to perform specific functions in the body, making it the correct choice. The other options do not describe a group of organs working together.

Study of the effects of pathogens (bacteria, virus, fungus) that cause disease on a population.

• Epidemiology

• Organelles

• Quarantine

• Microscope

Answer explanation

Epidemiology is the study of how diseases, caused by pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and fungi, affect populations. It focuses on the distribution and determinants of health-related states, making it the correct choice.

Consistent and trustworthy

• Reliable

• Function

• Nonliving

• Cell Wall

Answer explanation

The term 'reliable' means consistent and trustworthy, making it the correct choice. Other options like 'function', 'nonliving', and 'cell wall' do not convey the same meaning.

A specific job or role

• Unicellular

• Nonliving

• Infection

• Function

Answer explanation

The term 'Function' refers to a specific job or role that something performs, making it the correct choice. In contrast, 'Unicellular' and 'Nonliving' describe types of organisms, while 'Infection' relates to disease, not a role.

Using engineering practices to design tissues or organs.

• Tissue Engineering

• Quarantine

• Mitochondria

• Intellectual Honesty

Answer explanation

The correct choice is Tissue Engineering, which involves using engineering practices to design and create tissues or organs, making it essential for regenerative medicine and biotechnology.

A series of measurements that describe size

• Scale

• Bias

• Subsystem

• Organ

Answer explanation

The term 'Scale' refers to a series of measurements that describe size, making it the correct choice. 'Bias', 'Subsystem', and 'Organ' do not specifically relate to measurements of size.
