1. A bar graph shows the number of patients admitted to the ER each day for a week. How do you determine the day with the highest number of admissions?

• A. Find the tallest bar in the graph.
• B. Compare the heights of all bars.
• C. Calculate the average number of admissions per day.
• D. Subtract the lowest number of admissions from the highest.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The best approach is to find the tallest bar

2. What is the name for the mixture of reactants and products present during a chemical reaction?

• A. Solution
• B. Mixture
• C. Reaction mixture
• D. Precipitate

Correct answer: C

Rationale: This mixture contains both the starting materials (reactants) and the newly formed substances (products) during the reaction process.

3. Which of the following is the main organ responsible for producing bile?

• A. Liver
• B. Gallbladder
• C. Pancreas
• D. Stomach

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: The liver is the main organ responsible for producing bile. Bile is a greenish-yellow fluid that is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It plays a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. The gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine when needed to aid in the digestion of fats. The pancreas is responsible for producing digestive enzymes and insulin, not bile. The stomach is primarily involved in the digestion of food through the secretion of gastric juices.

5. Which type of RNA carries the genetic code from DNA to ribosomes?

• A. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
• B. Transfer RNA (tRNA)
• C. Messenger RNA (mRNA)
• D. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the genetic information from DNA in the cell's nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where protein synthesis occurs. - Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of the ribosomes where protein synthesis takes place. - Transfer RNA (tRNA) is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis. - Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material that contains the instructions for building and maintaining an organism. DNA is transcribed into mRNA before being translated into proteins.

6. Which type of orbital can hold a maximum of 10 electrons?

• A. s orbital
