1. In the reaction 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, how many moles of oxygen are required to react completely with 4 moles of hydrogen?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Correct answer: 2

Rationale: The balanced equation indicates a 1:1 ratio between H2 and O2, so 4 moles of H2 require 4 moles of O2, and 2 moles of H2 require 2 moles of O2.

2. The element responsible for the red color of blood is:

• A. Magnesium
• B. Iron
• C. Copper
• D. Zinc

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen in red blood cells, contains iron in its heme group, contributing to the blood's characteristic red color.

3. Which sentence avoids a dangling modifier?

• A. Walking down the street, a bird swooped down from a tree.
• B. Having finished the report, it was time for lunch.
• C. Reading the book, I learned a lot about ancient history.
• D. Exhausted from the hike, the tent was a welcome sight.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Option C places the participle phrase "Reading the book" in front of the subject "I," eliminating the dangling modifier.

4. During vigorous exercise, the respiratory rate increases to:

• A. Meet the increased demand for oxygen in working muscles
• B. Eliminate excess carbon dioxide more slowly
• C. Conserve energy for physical activity
• D. Decrease the amount of oxygen delivered to the body

Correct answer: A

Rationale: During vigorous exercise, the respiratory rate increases to meet the increased demand for oxygen in working muscles. When we exercise vigorously, our muscles require more oxygen to produce energy through aerobic metabolism. Increasing the respiratory rate allows more oxygen to be taken in and transported to the muscles via the bloodstream to support this increased demand. Option A is correct because it accurately reflects the physiological response of the respiratory system to vigorous exercise, ensuring that working muscles receive sufficient oxygen for optimal performance.

5. Bone is a type of

• A. Epithelial tissue
• B. Connective tissue
• C. Hard connective tissue
• D. Muscle tissue

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Hard connective tissue." Bone is classified as hard connective tissue because it is composed of cells embedded in a matrix of mineralized collagen fibers, providing support and protection to the body. Epithelial tissue (A) covers body surfaces and lines cavities, while connective tissue (B) includes bone, cartilage, and blood. Muscle tissue (D) is responsible for movement and is not the same as bone tissue.

6. What type of energy is stored in food?

• A. Mechanical energy
• B. Kinetic energy
• C. Chemical potential energy
• D. Thermal energy

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Food stores energy in the form of chemical potential energy, which can be released during metabolic processes.
