1. How does an increase in surface area affect the force of friction between two surfaces?

• A. Increases friction
• B. Decreases friction
• C. Has no effect on friction
• D. Causes unpredictable changes in friction

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Increasing surface area reduces the force per unit area, decreasing friction.

2. How does an increase in surface area affect the force of friction between two surfaces?

• A. Increases friction
• B. Decreases friction
• C. Has no effect on friction
• D. Causes unpredictable changes in friction

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Increasing surface area reduces the force per unit area, decreasing friction.

3. 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).

4. 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.

5. A solution is 60% alcohol. If 200ml of the solution are used, how much pure alcohol is present?

• A. 100ml
• B. 120ml
• C. 140ml
• D. 160ml

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Multiply the total solution volume (200ml) by the alcohol percentage (60%)

6. Which of the following factors would NOT affect the solubility of a solid solute in a liquid solvent?

• A. Temperature
• B. Pressure
• C. Particle size
• D. Nature of the solute and solvent

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Pressure does not significantly affect the solubility of solid solutes in liquid solvents. The other choices are factors that can influence solubility.
