Question
Chapter 16, Problem 1MC
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Male reproductive system is composed of two types of organs. One is the primary sex organs that are involved in the production of sex hormones (testosterone) and the male gamete. The other one is accessory male organs that produce and nourish the male gamete. Accessory male organs are internal structures present in the males, which includes, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, and prostate gland.
Answer to Problem 1MC
Correct answer:
Seminal vesicles are the accessory sex structures in the male.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation for the correct answer:
Option (d) is given that seminal vesicles are the male accessory sex organs. Seminal vesicles are hollow glands that are the accessory glands in the males. They secrete seminal fluid, rich in components such as prostaglandins, fructose, and vitamin C. Seminal fluid nourishes sperms. Hence, option (d) is correct.
Explanation for incorrect answers:
Option (a) is given that gonads are the male accessory sex organs. However, gonads (testes in case of males) are known as the primary sex organs. They produce sex hormones and gametes. So, it is an incorrect option.
Option (b) is given that gametes are the male accessory sex organs. Gametes (sperms in case of male) are produced from the primary sex organs and are not accessory sex organs. So, it is an incorrect option.
Option (c) is given that broad shoulders are the male accessory sex organs. Broad shoulders are the secondary sexual characteristics in the male induced by the release of hormones. They are not male accessory organs. So, it is an incorrect option.
Hence, options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect.
Conclusion
Seminal vesicles are the male accessory organs, which produce seminal fluid and nourishes the sperm.

From Kirby Bauer Diffusion Testing - Lab 9
Refer to the image below to answer the following questions in your own words:
1) What is a "zone of inhibition" and what causes them?
2) To which antibiotic is the bacterial species grown on this plate most resistant? Use
information on this image to defend your answer, making sure you use the term "zone
diameter" correctly in your answer. (If you can't read the full name of the drug, the
abbreviation on the disc will be fine.)
Analyze the results of the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test seen in this image, and then answer all questions that follow here.

Lab 6 - Handwashing (Hand Washing and Normal Flora:)
• Culture microbes from unwashed, washed, and gloved hands on agar plates.
Relate experimental results to the effectiveness of proper hand washing and glove use.
In this exercise, you will inoculate solid agar media with the microbes present on your hands
before washing, after washing, and while wearing gloves.
1) True or False? Routine handwashing removes resident bacteria which normally
resides on the superficial skin layers.
2) From information learned in this lesson, defend WHY you chose true or false above.
3) According to this lab lesson, would you expect most of the bacteria found in your
large intestine to stain pink or purple in a Gram-stain? Explain. Give an example of a
common bacterial species living in the large intestine.
