1. What is the process of cells restoring damaged or lost tissues called?

• A. Cell division
• B. Cell differentiation
• C. Cell growth
• D. Cell regeneration

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: A) Cell division refers to the process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells. B) Cell differentiation is the process by which cells become specialized for specific functions. C) Cell growth is the increase in cell size or number. D) Cell regeneration is the process of cells restoring damaged or lost tissues by replacing or repairing the damaged cells. This process is essential for healing wounds and maintaining tissue integrity.

2. Identify the article in the following sentence: The delicious cake was enjoyed by everyone at the party.

• A. cake
• B. was
• C. the
• D. enjoyed

Correct answer: C

Rationale: : Articles ("a," "an," and "the") indicate specificity of a noun. "The" specifies that there is one particular cake being discussed.

3. Which of the following substances is a common base found in household products?

• A. Sodium chloride (NaCl)
• B. Ammonia (NH₃)
• C. Vinegar
• D. Lemon juice

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Ammonia is a common base found in household products. The other choices are acids.

4. Which sexually transmitted infection (STI) can potentially cause infertility in both men and women if left untreated?

• A. Human papillomavirus (HPV)
• B. Chlamydia
• C. Gonorrhea
• D. Syphilis

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Syphilis. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that can potentially cause infertility in both men and women if left untreated. In men, untreated syphilis can lead to damage to the testicles and epididymis, affecting sperm production. In women, syphilis can result in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) which can lead to scarring and blockages in the fallopian tubes, causing infertility. While other STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhea can also lead to infertility if left untreated, syphilis is particularly known for its severe impact on reproductive health in both genders.

5. Which of the following is a balanced chemical equation?

• A. H2 + O2 → H2O
• B. 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
• C. 3H2O → 2H2 + O2
• D. H2O → H2 + O2

Correct answer: b

Rationale: The equation is balanced, with equal numbers of atoms of each element on both sides.

6. During exercise, heart rate increases to deliver more oxygen to the body's tissues. What other cardiovascular response also increases?

• A. Blood pressure decreases
• B. Blood vessel diameter narrows
• C. Blood flow to muscles increases
• D. Blood viscosity thickens

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Blood pressure decreases.' When the heart rate increases during exercise to deliver more oxygen to the body's tissues, the blood pressure also tends to decrease. This is due to the enhanced efficiency of the heart in pumping blood, resulting in a lower pressure exerted on the blood vessel walls. In contrast, options B and D are incorrect as blood vessel diameter typically widens (dilates) during exercise to facilitate increased blood flow, and blood viscosity does not usually thicken during exercise. Option C is a distractor as blood flow to muscles indeed increases during exercise to meet the higher demand for oxygen and nutrients.
