1. What is the stage of mitosis during which the nuclear envelope reforms?

• A. Prophase
• B. Metaphase
• C. Telophase
• D. Cytokinesis

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - Prophase is the stage of mitosis where the nuclear envelope breaks down, allowing the chromosomes to condense and become visible. - Metaphase is the stage where the chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate in the middle of the cell. - Telophase is the stage where the nuclear envelope reforms around the separated sister chromatids at opposite poles of the cell. - Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm divides to form two daughter cells, but it is not directly related to the reformation of the nuclear envelope.

2. What is the pH value of a neutral solution?

• A. 0
• B. 7
• C. 14
• D. -7

Correct answer:

Rationale: A neutral solution has a pH of 7. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral.

3. Define the term "momentum" in physics.

• A. Force exerted on an object
• B. Speed of an object in motion
• C. Mass in motion
• D. Distance traveled per unit time

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity, describing its motion and resistance to changes in motion.

4. What is the general formula for an alkyl halide?

• A. CnH2n
• B. CnH2n+2
• C. CnH2n-1X
• D. CnH2nO

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The general formula for an alkyl halide is \(C_nH_{2n-1}X\), where X represents a halogen (e.g., F, Cl, Br, I).

5. During vigorous exercise, the respiratory rate increases to:

• A. Meet the increased demand for oxygen in working muscles
• B. Eliminate excess carbon dioxide more slowly
• C. Conserve energy for physical activity
• D. Decrease the amount of oxygen delivered to the body

Correct answer: A

Rationale: During vigorous exercise, the respiratory rate increases to meet the increased demand for oxygen in working muscles. When we exercise vigorously, our muscles require more oxygen to produce energy through aerobic metabolism. Increasing the respiratory rate allows more oxygen to be taken in and transported to the muscles via the bloodstream to support this increased demand. Option A is correct because it accurately reflects the physiological response of the respiratory system to vigorous exercise, ensuring that working muscles receive sufficient oxygen for optimal performance.

6. Which property of a substance refers to its ability to be stretched into thin wires without breaking?

• A. Conductivity
• B. Viscosity
• C. Ductility
• D. Malleability

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Ductility is the property that describes a substance's ability to be stretched into thin wires without breaking.
