951. The function of hemoglobin is____________?
- A. Transportation of oxygen
- B. Destruction of bacteria
- C. Prevention of anemia

Explanation: Hemoglobin is the iron-containing protein in red blood cells that binds oxygen in the lungs and carries it to body tissues. It also carries a portion of carbon dioxide back toward the lungs.
Correct answer: Transportation of oxygen952. The main function of the kidney is ____________?
- A. To control blood pressure
- B. To control body temperature
- C. To remove waste product from the body

Correct answer: Iron954. What is the main component of bones and teeth?
- A. Calcium carbonate
- B. Calcium phosphate
- C. Calcium sulphate
- D. Calcium nitrate
Explanation: The hard mineral portion of bones and teeth is mainly hydroxyapatite, a calcium phosphate compound. Calcium carbonate and the other listed salts are not the principal structural mineral.
Correct answer: Calcium phosphate955. Tibia is a bone found in the ____________?

- A. Liver
- B. Bone marrow
- C. Kidneys
- D. Heart
Explanation: In adults, red blood cells are produced mainly in the red bone marrow through erythropoiesis. The kidneys release erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates this production, but they do not form the cells themselves.
Correct answer: Bone marrow959. Total volume of blood in a normal adult human being is
- A. 5-6 liters
- B. 3-4 liters
- C. 8-10 liters
- D. 10-12 liters
Explanation: An average adult has roughly 5 to 6 litres of blood, equal to about 7 to 8 percent of body weight. The exact volume varies with body size, sex, and health.
