b. cerebrospinal fluid
c. mitosis
d. cytoplasm
__ 5. in living organisms, cell reproduction is called __.
a. mitosis
b. catabolism
c. anabolism
d. metabolism
__ 6. most cells reproduce by dividing into two cells called __ cells.
a. neutral
b. daughter
c. twin
d. sibling
__ 7. a collection of similar cells that perform a function is called a(n) __.
a. tissue
b. cell membrane
c. organ
d. organism

Explanation:

1. Question 1: Physiology is the scientific study of the functions and activities of the body's structures, while anatomy is the study of structure, pathology is study of diseases, and reflexology is about reflexes. So answer is c.
2. Question 2: Protoplasm is the substance that makes up the cells of living organisms. Neoplasm is abnormal growth, cytoplasm is part of protoplasm, and organoplasm is not the term for cell substance. So answer is a.
3. Question 3: The nucleus is the dense, active structure at the center of the cell. Membrane is a boundary, neuron is a cell type, origin is not a cell structure term. So answer is c.
4. Question 4: Cytoplasm is the fluid surrounding the nucleus in a cell, necessary for growth and reproduction. Cell membrane is a boundary, cerebrospinal fluid is in the brain/spinal cord, mitosis is cell division. So answer is d.
5. Question 5: Mitosis is the process of cell reproduction in living organisms. Catabolism is breakdown of molecules, metabolism is all chemical reactions, apoptosis is cell death. So answer is a.
6. Question 6: When cells reproduce by dividing, the new cells are called daughter cells. Neutral, twin, sibling are not the correct terms for new cells from division. So answer is b.
7. Question 7: A tissue is a collection of similar cells that perform a function. Cell membrane is a structure, organ is made of tissues, organism is a whole living thing. So answer is a.

Answer:

1. c. physiology
2. a. protoplasm
3. c. nucleus
4. d. Cytoplasm
5. a. mitosis
6. b. daughter
7. a. tissue
