1. Which orbital can hold a maximum of 8 electrons?

• A. s orbital
• B. p orbital
• C. d orbital
• D. f orbital

Correct answer: C

Rationale: d orbital - Each d orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, and there are 5 d orbitals, totaling 10 possible electrons.

2. If 3 nurses can care for 15 patients, how many nurses are needed for 25 patients?

• A. 4
• B. 5
• C. 6
• D. 7

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 3 nurses / 15 patients = x nurses / 25 patients. Solve for x.

3. What is a group of organisms of the same species living in a particular area called?

• A. Community
• B. Population
• C. Ecosystem
• D. Habitat

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: A) Community refers to all the populations of different species living and interacting in a particular area. Since the question specifies organisms of the same species, community is not the correct answer. B) Population is a group of organisms of the same species living in a particular area. This term specifically refers to individuals of the same species and their interactions within a defined area. C) Ecosystem includes all the living organisms (biotic factors) and non-living components (abiotic factors) in a particular area and their interactions. While populations are part of an ecosystem, the term "ecosystem" is broader and includes multiple populations. D) Habitat refers to the specific environment where an organism lives, including the physical and biological factors. It is the place where a population or individual organism resides, but it does not specifically refer to a group of organisms of the same species.

4. Which of the following organs is responsible for churning and mechanically breaking down food?

• A. Small intestine
• B. Large intestine
• C. Stomach
• D. Esophagus

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: The stomach is responsible for churning and mechanically breaking down food. It contains muscles that contract and relax to mix food with digestive juices, breaking it down into smaller particles. This mechanical digestion process helps prepare the food for further digestion and absorption in the small intestine. The small intestine is primarily responsible for the absorption of nutrients, the large intestine absorbs water and salts, the esophagus is a muscular tube that transports food from the mouth to the stomach.

5. What does "voice" refer to in writing style?

Rationale: Voice encompasses the author's personality, tone, and overall approach to crafting the written message.

6. Which biome is characterized by cold temperatures, permafrost, and coniferous trees?

• A. Tundra
• B. Desert
• C. Rainforest
• D. Savanna

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: A) Tundra: This biome is characterized by cold temperatures, permafrost (permanently frozen subsoil), and vegetation such as mosses, lichens, and coniferous trees like spruce and fir. The tundra is found in high latitudes near the Arctic Circle and high altitudes in mountainous regions. B) Desert: Deserts are characterized by low precipitation levels and high temperatures, with sparse vegetation adapted to arid conditions. C) Rainforest: Rainforests are characterized by high levels of rainfall, warm temperatures, and dense vegetation with a variety of plant and animal species. D) Savanna: Savannas are tropical grasslands with scattered trees and shrubs, characterized by a distinct wet and dry season. In this case, the description of cold temperatures, permafrost, and coniferous trees aligns most closely with the characteristics of the tundra biome, making option A
