True
T/F Metabolic rate is defined as the rate at which an animal uses energy
True
The plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer containing a hydrophilic head and
two hydrophobic tails.
True
The brain and spinal cord are parts of the peripheral nervous system
False
Anabolism is the “destructive” processes of metabolism
False
In the thermoneutral zone, an animal must expend ATP to maintain homeostasis
False
Plasma membranes are lipid bilayers and selectively permeable.
True
The central nervous system consists of the autonomic and somatic divisions.

T/F The jejunum contributes to enzymatic digestion and absorption.
True
Carnivores start digesting starch in their mouth, and the secretion of amylase plays an
important role in the process
False
Hormones are chemical messengers produced by endocrine organs that circulates in the blood,
produces a specific effect on other cells and it is released from glands or specialized cells within

False
Aerobic ATP production is the most efficient way to produce energy.
True; More ATP molecules are produced in aerobic production versus either
way of anaerobic production.
