1. A reaction between an acid and a base is known as:

• A. Precipitation
• B. Neutralization
• C. Oxidation-reduction
• D. Photolysis

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When an acid and a base react, they neutralize each other's properties

2. What is the importance of RNA splicing?

• A. Removes introns from the mRNA molecule
• B. Adds the poly-A tail to the mRNA molecule
• C. Activates the mRNA molecule for translation
• D. Modifies the structure of the protein

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: A) RNA splicing is a crucial process in gene expression where non-coding regions called introns are removed from the pre-mRNA molecule, and the remaining coding regions called exons are joined together to form the mature mRNA molecule. This process ensures that only the protein-coding sequences are retained in the mRNA for translation, allowing for the production of functional proteins. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it accurately describes the importance of RNA splicing in generating mature mRNA molecules for protein synthesis. B) Adding the poly-A tail to the mRNA molecule is a post-transcriptional modification that occurs after RNA splicing and is not directly related to the process of removing introns. C) Activating the mRNA molecule for translation is typically achieved through the addition of a 5' cap and the poly-A tail, rather than through RNA splicing. D) Modifying the structure of the protein is not directly

3. What are the finger-like projections that increase the surface area for absorption in the small intestine called?

• A. Crypts of Lieberkühn
• B. Goblet cells
• C. Villi
• D. Paneth cells

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: A) Crypts of Lieberkühn are small pits in the lining of the small intestine that contain cells involved in the production of intestinal juices, but they do not increase the surface area for absorption. B) Goblet cells are specialized cells that secrete mucus to protect the lining of the digestive tract, but they do not increase the surface area for absorption. C) Villi are finger-like projections in the small intestine that increase the surface area available for nutrient absorption. Each villus contains blood vessels and lacteals (lymphatic vessels) that help absorb nutrients from digested food. D) Paneth cells are specialized cells found in the small intestine that secrete antimicrobial substances, but they do not increase the surface area for absorption.

4. As a manager, she focuses her energy on both the quality of services rendered to the patients

• A. Country club management
• B. Organization man management
• C. Team management
• D. Authority-obedience management

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Organization man management.' This type of management focuses on maintaining the efficiency and structure of an organization. In this scenario, the manager's emphasis on the quality of services aligns with the principles of organization man management, which prioritizes the coordination of tasks and resources to achieve optimal results within the organization. This contrasts with 'Country club management,' which emphasizes employee satisfaction over task accomplishment; 'Team management,' which focuses on collaboration and teamwork; and 'Authority-obedience management,' which centers on strict hierarchical control. Therefore, the most appropriate choice is 'B: Organization man management.'

5. Which of the following phrases is grammatically correct and uses parallel structure?

• A. He enjoys reading, writing, and to play sports.
• B. Walking, swimming, and cooking are his favorite hobbies.
• C. He likes to read, write, and playing sports.
• D. Singing, dancing, and to travel are his passions.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Option B uses the gerund (-ing) form for all three hobbies, achieving parallel structure.

6. Which property of a substance describes its ability to conduct heat or electricity?

• A. Mass
• B. Density
• C. Reactivity
• D. Conductivity

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Conductivity refers to a substance's ability to conduct heat or electricity.
