1. What is the process of cells dividing to produce new cells called?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: A) Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells, allowing for growth, repair, and reproduction in living organisms. This process ensures that genetic material is accurately passed on to the new cells. B) Cell differentiation refers to the process by which cells become specialized to perform specific functions in an organism. While cell division is essential for cell differentiation, they are distinct processes. C) Cell growth is the increase in size or mass of a cell, which can occur before or after cell division. While cell growth is a component of the cell division process, it is not the primary process of cells dividing to produce new cells. D) Cell regeneration is the process by which damaged or lost cells are replaced by new cells. While cell division is involved in cell regeneration, it specifically refers to the overall process of cells dividing to produce new cells. Therefore, the most appropriate answer to the ques

2. What skin condition is characterized by red, itchy, and inflamed patches?

• A. Eczema
• B. Psoriasis
• C. Melanoma
• D. Keloid

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Eczema. Eczema is a common skin condition that is characterized by red, itchy, and inflamed patches on the skin. It is often triggered by environmental factors or allergies and can vary in severity. Psoriasis (option B) is also a skin condition that causes red, scaly patches on the skin, but it is typically thicker and more silver or white in color compared to eczema. Melanoma (option C) is a type of skin cancer that usually presents as a new mole or a changing mole on the skin, rather than red, itchy patches. Keloid (option D) is a raised scar that can result from an overgrowth of scar tissue. Therefore, the most appropriate answer to this question is A: Eczema, based on the description of red, itchy, and inflamed patches.

3. Which pronoun correctly replaces the underlined phrase in the sentence: "Jessica invited Sarah and me to the party, but I forgot to respond to her."

4. A medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon. What is the equivalent dosage in milliliters (1 teaspoon = 5ml)?

• A. 1.25ml
• B. 2.5ml
• C. 3.75ml
• D. 5ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 2.5ml: Divide the teaspoon dosage (1/2) by the conversion factor (2 teaspoons/5ml).

5. A patient weighs 180 pounds. What is their weight in kilograms (1kg = 2.2lbs)?

• A. 68kg
• B. 75kg
• C. 82kg
• D. 90kg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Divide the weight in pounds (180) by the conversion factor (2.2lbs/kg).

6. What type of bond involves the complete transfer of electrons between atoms?

• A. Covalent bond
• B. Ionic bond
• C. Metallic bond
• D. Hydrogen bond

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Ionic bond - Electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another, creating cations and anions with strong electrostatic attraction.
