How exactly are you planning on passing the exam? Hon, you'd better learn this stuff... if you cannot handle reading the textbook or googling this stuff, you're not going to learn it by circling true or false according to what people on here tell you to do. Heck, you're lucky if people give you the right answers, instead of playing with you just to mess you up.

You better pray that you can get a government job (working welfare). You do not show signs of being capable of earning a decent living on your own.

No, i'm pretty sure that DNA is a molecule, so i believe it is not capable of excreting feces.
