1. What is the process of converting glucose into ATP, the cell's primary energy currency, called?

• A. Cellular respiration
• B. Fermentation
• C. Photosynthesis
• D. Hydrolysis

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: A) Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose into ATP, the primary energy currency of the cell. This process involves a series of biochemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells or the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. Through cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose molecules is gradually released and captured in the form of ATP. B) Fermentation is an anaerobic process that occurs in the absence of oxygen. It involves the partial breakdown of glucose to produce ATP and end products such as lactic acid or ethanol. While fermentation can generate ATP, it is less efficient than cellular respiration in terms of energy production. C) Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This process occurs in chloroplasts and is the opposite of cellular respiration. While photosynthesis produces glucose,

2. Two coherent light waves with a slight phase difference interfere. What determines the resulting intensity of the combined wave?

• A. The individual intensities of the waves
• B. The wavelength of the waves
• C. The distance between the waves
• D. The color of the waves

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The intensity of the resulting wave depends on the individual intensities and the phase difference between the interfering waves. Constructive interference leads to higher intensity, while destructive interference leads to lower intensity.

3. A person who carries a pathogen but does not exhibit any symptoms is considered:

• A. Asymptomatic carrier
• B. Opportunistic pathogen
• C. Nosocomial infection
• D. Vector-borne disease

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: An asymptomatic carrier is a person who carries a pathogen (such as a virus or bacterium) but does not show any symptoms of the infection themselves. Despite not exhibiting symptoms, asymptomatic carriers can still spread the pathogen to others, potentially causing illness in those who come into contact with them. This term specifically refers to individuals who are infected but do not develop symptoms, distinguishing them from symptomatic carriers who do show signs of the infection. Option A is the most appropriate choice in this context as it accurately describes a person who carries a pathogen without displaying symptoms. B) Opportunistic pathogen: This term refers to pathogens that typically do not cause disease in healthy individuals but can become pathogenic in individuals with weakened immune systems. C) Nosocomial infection: This term refers to infections that are acquired in a hospital or healthcare facility. D) Vector-borne disease: This term refers to diseases

4. Where should a semicolon be placed in the following sentence? "He loves reading comics, playing video games, and spending time with friends"?

• A. He loves reading comics; playing video games, and spending time with friends.
• B. He loves reading comics, playing video games; and spending time with friends.
• C. He loves reading comics, playing video games and spending time with friends.
• D. No semicolon needed.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Semicolons can join three or more items in a list, especially when the items themselves contain commas. Option (b) is the correct placement.

5. As a young manager, she knows that conflict occurs in any organization. Which of the

• A. Can be destructive if the level is too high
• B. Is not beneficial; hence it should be prevented at all times
• C. May result in poor performance
• D.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Conflict in an organization is a natural occurrence that can either be constructive or destructive. Option C is the correct answer because conflict may indeed lead to poor performance if not managed effectively. When conflict is left unresolved or unaddressed, it can create tension, decrease morale, and hinder productivity. By recognizing that conflict can impact performance, the young manager can take proactive steps to address and resolve conflicts in a constructive manner to minimize its negative effects and promote a healthy work environment.

6. Which type of wave requires a medium to travel through?

• A. Electromagnetic waves
• B. Mechanical waves
• C. Sound waves
• D. Both a and c

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Both mechanical waves (such as sound waves) and electromagnetic waves (like light) have different requirements for propagation, but both can travel through a medium.
