1. What is the unit of measurement for density?

• A. Grams per liter (g/L)
• B. Kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³)
• C. Pounds per square inch (psi)
• D. Newtons per meter (N/m)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Density is defined as mass per unit volume. The most commonly used unit for density in the metric system is grams per liter (g/L). Kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) is also a common unit for density, but grams per liter is more frequently used in everyday measurements. Pounds per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure, not density. Newtons per meter (N/m) is a unit of force per unit length, not density.

2. The important decision will be made tomorrow. Which word is the comparative form of the adjective "important"?

• A. important
• B. importantly
• C. more important
• D. most important

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The comparative form of an adjective compares two things.

3. What defines the period of a wave?

• A. The number of waves passing a point per unit time
• B. The distance between two adjacent crests or troughs
• C. The time it takes for one complete wave cycle to pass a point
• D. The maximum displacement of particles in a medium due to the wave

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The period of a wave is defined as the time it takes for one complete wave cycle to pass a point. It is typically measured in seconds and is inversely related to the frequency of the wave. The period is not related to the number of waves passing a point per unit time (A), the distance between two adjacent crests or troughs (B), or the maximum displacement of particles in a medium due to the wave (D).

4. Which of the following is NOT a type of antibody?

• A. IgA
• B. IgM
• C. Interferon
• D. IgG

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: A) IgA: This is a type of antibody found in mucosal areas such as the gut, respiratory tract, and genitourinary tract. B) IgM: This is a type of antibody produced during the primary immune response and is the first antibody to be produced in response to an infection. C) Interferon: Interferons are signaling proteins produced by cells in response to viral infections. They play a role in the immune response but are not antibodies. D) IgG: This is the most abundant type of antibody in the bloodstream and is involved in long-term immunity. Therefore, the correct answer is C) Interferon, as it is not a type of antibody.

5. Define "friction" in terms of opposing motion.

• A. A force that increases motion
• B. A force that accelerates motion
• C. A force that opposes motion
• D. A force that creates motion

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Friction acts opposite to the direction of motion, resisting or slowing down the movement of objects.

6. What happens when a protein unfolds?

• A. Activation
• B. Denaturation
• C. Renaturation
• D. Folding

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Activation (Option A) refers to the process of initiating or increasing the activity of a molecule, such as an enzyme. Protein unfolding does not involve activation. - Denaturation (Option B) is the correct answer. Denaturation refers to the process by which a protein loses its three-dimensional structure, leading to the disruption of its function. This can be caused by factors such as heat, pH changes, or chemicals. - Renaturation (Option C) is the process by which a denatured protein regains its native structure and function. Protein unfolding is the opposite of renaturation. - Folding (Option D) is the process by which a protein assumes its functional three-dimensional structure. Unfolding is the reverse process of folding, not folding itself.
