1. What is the coefficient of oxygen in the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane (CH4)?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Correct answer: b

Rationale: The balanced equation is CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, so the coefficient of oxygen is 2.

2. What is the relationship between the frequency and period of a wave?

• A. They are unrelated
• B. Frequency = Period
• C. Frequency = 1/Period
• D. Period = 1/Frequency

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct relationship between frequency and period of a wave is that Period = 1/Frequency. This means that the period of a wave is the reciprocal of its frequency. Frequency is the number of complete cycles of a wave that occur in a unit of time, while the period is the time it takes for one complete cycle of the wave to occur. Since frequency and period are inversely related, the correct formula is Period = 1/Frequency.

3. A patient's height is 1.65 meters and their weight is 75kg. Calculate their BMI and interpret the result.

• A. 23.1 (Overweight)
• B. 25.3 (Overweight)
• C. 27.7 (Overweight)
• D. 32.8 (Obese)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Divide weight (75kg) by height squared (1.65m^2) to get BMI (27.7). This falls within the "overweight" category (25-29.9 BMI).

4. What is the lysosome?

• A. A sac-like structure that contains enzymes that break down cellular components
• B. A network of tubules that transport proteins and lipids throughout the cell
• C. The site of protein synthesis
• D. The site of cellular respiration

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles found in animal cells that contain digestive enzymes. These enzymes help break down various cellular components, such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and even foreign particles like bacteria. This process of breaking down and recycling cellular components is essential for maintaining cell health and function. Options B, C, and D do not accurately describe the function or structure of a lysosome.

5. What is the formula to calculate kinetic energy?

• A. Kinetic Energy = Mass × Velocity
• B. Kinetic Energy = Force × Distance
• C. Kinetic Energy = Power × Time
• D. Kinetic Energy = Potential Energy ÷ Time

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Kinetic energy is calculated using the formula KE = ½ × mass × velocity².

6. A patient needs to take 2 tablets for every 30 pounds of body weight. If they weigh 150 pounds, how many tablets should they take?

• A. 5
• B. 10
• C. 15
• D. 20

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Divide the patient's weight (150 pounds) by the ratio denominator (30 pounds/tablet) to get 5 tablets.
