2. What is the atomic number of an element?

• A. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
• B. The number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
• C. The number of electrons in an atom's valence shell.
• D. The number of isotopes of an element.

Rationale: The atomic number of an element is a fundamental property that defines the identity of an element. It is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons determines the element's position in the periodic table and its chemical properties.

3. Myelin sheath, a fatty substance, insulates nerve fibers. What type of tissue is the myelin sheath derived from?

• A. Epithelial tissue
• B. Muscle tissue
• C. Nervous tissue (glial cells)
• D. Connective tissue

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The myelin sheath is derived from nervous tissue, specifically from glial cells, which are non-neuronal cells that support and protect neurons in the nervous system. Glial cells, such as Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system, produce the myelin sheath to insulate nerve fibers and enhance the speed of nerve impulse conduction. Epithelial tissue forms the protective covering of internal and external surfaces, muscle tissue is responsible for movement, and connective tissue provides support and structure to the body. Therefore, the correct answer is C: Nervous tissue (glial cells).

4. Which element is used in semiconductors like computer chips and solar panels?

• A. Germanium
• B. Silicon
• C. Gallium
• D. Arsenic

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Silicon's unique properties allow it to be manipulated to conduct or not conduct electricity, making it ideal for various electronic applications.

5. What is the formula for calculating molarity?

• A. M = n/V
• B. M = n/L
• C. M = mol/L
• D. M = mol/dm³

Correct answer: a

Rationale: All of these choices are equivalent to the original formula. The symbol "n" represents the number of moles of solute, and the symbol "V" represents the volume of the solution in liters. The symbol "L" is an abbreviation for "liters," and "dm³" is an alternative way to represent liters.

6. Identify the subject in the following sentence: "The red car parked in the driveway."

• A. driveway
