1. A ball is thrown upwards. Which of the following statements is TRUE about its potential energy and kinetic energy at the peak of its trajectory?

• A. Both potential and kinetic energy are zero.
• B. Potential energy is maximum and kinetic energy is minimum.
• C. Potential energy is minimum and kinetic energy is maximum.
• D. Both potential and kinetic energy remain constant.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: At the peak, the ball momentarily stops moving, minimizing kinetic energy. However, it's still at its highest point, maximizing its potential energy due to gravity.

2. The final sentence suggests that public discourse about AI should focus on

• A. Celebrating the achievements of AI and promoting its widespread adoption in all sectors.
• B. Criticizing the ethical shortcomings of existing AI systems and demanding stricter regulations.
• C. Engaging in open and informed discussions about the potential benefits, risks, and responsible development of AI.
• D. Focusing solely on the technical challenges of AI development and leaving ethical considerations to experts.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The emphasis on "ongoing public discourse" and "the future of AI in society" suggests a call for open discussions and collective responsibility, aligning with C.

3. In a chemical reaction, the total amount of:

• A. Matter remains the same
• B. Matter increases
• C. Matter decreases
• D. Energy remains the same

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged

4. What is the Golgi apparatus?

• A. A network of tubules that transport proteins and lipids throughout the cell
• B. A sac-like structure that stores water and nutrients
• C. The site of protein synthesis
• D. The site of protein modification and packaging

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: The Golgi apparatus is an organelle in the cell responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for transport to their final destinations. It consists of a series of flattened sacs called cisternae and plays a crucial role in processing proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum. Option A is incorrect because the network of tubules that transport proteins and lipids throughout the cell is typically associated with the endoplasmic reticulum. Option B is incorrect as the structure described is more characteristic of a vacuole, which stores water and nutrients. Option C is incorrect as protein synthesis primarily occurs in the ribosomes, not the Golgi apparatus.

5. The large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes from digested food material. What waste product remains after water absorption and is eventually eliminated from the body?

• A. Chyme
• B. Bolus
• C. Glucose
• D. Feces

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The large intestine is responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes from digested food material. As the waste material moves through the large intestine, most of the water is absorbed, leaving behind waste products known as feces. Feces consist of indigestible material, bacteria, and some remaining waste products. This waste is eventually eliminated from the body through the process of defecation. Chyme refers to the semi-fluid mass of partially digested food that moves from the stomach to the small intestine. Bolus is a term used to describe a mass of chewed food ready to be swallowed. Glucose is a simple sugar that is absorbed in the small intestine and used as an energy source. Therefore, the correct answer is D: Feces.

6. What are chromosomes made of?

• A. DNA and RNA
• B. DNA and proteins
• C. Proteins and carbohydrates
• D. DNA only

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Chromosomes are structures found in the nucleus of cells that contain genetic material. They are made up of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which carries the genetic information, and proteins that help in the organization and packaging of the DNA. While RNA is involved in various cellular processes, it is not a major component of chromosomes. Carbohydrates are not a significant component of chromosomes. Therefore, the most accurate answer is B) DNA and proteins.
