5. Which of the following is evidence that the controlling process is effective?

• A. The things that were planned are done
• B. Physicians do not complain.
• C. Employees are contended
• D. There is an increase in customer satisfaction rate.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'The things that were planned are done.' This is evidence that the controlling process is effective because it indicates that the organization is able to execute its plans successfully. When planned tasks and activities are completed as intended, it shows that the controlling function is ensuring that operations are on track and that deviations are being corrected. The completion of planned tasks also demonstrates that resources are being effectively utilized and that performance is being monitored and controlled. The other options do not directly relate to the effectiveness of the controlling process. Physicians not complaining, employees being contented, and an increase in customer satisfaction rate could be influenced by various factors and may not necessarily be solely attributed to the effectiveness of the controlling process.

6. How does RNA polymerase differ from DNA polymerase?

• A. Both enzymes are identical in function and structure.
• B. RNA polymerase does not require a primer to initiate RNA synthesis.
• C. RNA polymerase can synthesize both RNA and DNA.
• D. RNA polymerase can only synthesize RNA, unlike DNA polymerase.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: A) This statement is incorrect. RNA polymerase and DNA polymerase are not identical in function and structure. They have different roles in the cell. B) This statement is correct. Unlike DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase does not require a primer to initiate RNA synthesis. RNA polymerase can start the synthesis of RNA de novo. C) This statement is incorrect. RNA polymerase is specialized for synthesizing RNA, not DNA. DNA polymerase is responsible for synthesizing DNA. D) This statement is correct. RNA polymerase can only synthesize RNA, while DNA polymerase is responsible for synthesizing DNA.
