1. What is the difference between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell?

• A. Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do not
• B. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not.
• C. Prokaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells do not.
• D. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Prokaryotic cells are simpler and do not have a true nucleus. Their genetic material is located in the nucleoid region, which is not enclosed by a membrane. - Eukaryotic cells are more complex and have a true nucleus that houses the genetic material, enclosed within a nuclear membrane. - Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have organelles, but eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus, while prokaryotic cells lack these membrane-bound organelles.

2. What phenomenon occurs when a wave encounters a change in medium causing a change in its speed and direction?

• A. Refraction
• B. Reflection
• C. Diffraction
• D. Interference

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Refraction happens when a wave changes its speed and direction due to encountering a change in medium.

3. The energy required to break a chemical bond is called:

• A. Kinetic energy
• B. Potential energy
• C. Activation energy
• D. Bond energy

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: Activation energy is the energy required to break a chemical bond and initiate a chemical reaction. Kinetic energy (option A) is the energy of motion, potential energy (option B) is stored energy, and bond energy (option D) is the energy required to break a particular chemical bond in a molecule. Among the options provided, activation energy best describes the energy required to break a chemical bond.

4. What happens to the density of a gas when its temperature increases at constant pressure?

• A. It increases.
• B. It decreases.
• C. It remains the same.
• D. Information insufficient

Correct answer: B

Rationale: As gas particles gain thermal energy with increasing temperature, they spread out, decreasing the density.

5. A blog post criticizes a scientific study due to the author's political views. Is this a valid critique?

• A. Yes, if the author identifies specific flaws in the methodology.
• B. Yes, if the author disagrees with the study's conclusions.
• C. o, scientific evaluation should be based on evidence, not personal beliefs.
• D. No, unless the author has scientific expertise themselves.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Criticism in science should focus on methodology, data analysis, and evidence, not personal agendas or political opinions.

6. What are enzymes?

• A. Building blocks of muscle
• B. Biological catalysts
• C. Energy source
• D. Antibodies

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in our cells. They act like tiny factories, fitting specific molecules (substrates) into their active site to facilitate reactions.
