1. How does the acceleration of an object change if the force acting on it is doubled?

• A. Acceleration is halved
• B. Acceleration doubles
• C. Acceleration remains unchanged
• D. Acceleration quadruples

Correct answer: b

Rationale: According to Newton's second law (F = ma), if force is doubled and mass remains constant, acceleration doubles.

2. ch element shares the same group (family) on the periodic table with helium (He)?

• A. Neon (Ne)
• B. Boron (B)
• C. Carbon (C)
• D. Oxygen (O)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Elements within the same group share similar electron configurations in their outermost shells, resulting in comparable chemical properties. Helium and Neon both belong to Group 18 (Noble Gases), explaining their similarities.

3. hich word is most closely associated with the adjective "meticulous"?

• A. careless
• B. precise
• C. indifferent
• D. enthusiastic

Correct answer: B

Rationale: "Meticulous" implies carefulness and attention to detail, making "precise" its closest synonym.

4. What is the name for the smallest amount of an element that can exist independently and retain its chemical properties?

• A. Molecule
• B. Atom
• C. Compound
• D. Mixture

Correct answer: A

Rationale: An atom is the fundamental building block of an element, consisting of a nucleus and electrons.

5. Which of the following is an example of a commensal relationship between a microorganism and a human?

• A. Salmonella causing food poisoning
• B. taphylococcus aureus causing skin infections
• C. coli living in the gut
• D. Rabies virus causing neurological disease

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: A commensal relationship is a type of symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits, while the other is neither harmed nor benefited. In this case, E. coli living in the gut is an example of a commensal relationship because it can benefit from the environment in the gut without causing harm to the human host. Option A, Salmonella causing food poisoning, is an example of a pathogenic relationship where the microorganism causes harm to the host. Option B, Staphylococcus aureus causing skin infections, is also an example of a pathogenic relationship where the microorganism causes harm to the host. Option D, Rabies virus causing neurological disease, is another example of a pathogenic relationship where the microorganism causes harm to the host.

6. The microscopic functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood is the:

• A. Ureter
• B. Nephron
• C. Renal pelvis
• D. Bladder

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nephron. The nephron is the microscopic functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. It consists of the glomerulus, Bowman's capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule. The other options, A: Ureter, C: Renal pelvis, and D: Bladder, are incorrect as they are not parts of the nephron but rather other structures involved in the urinary system. The ureter is a tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder, the renal pelvis is a funnel-shaped structure in the kidney that collects urine, and the bladder stores urine before it is excreted from the body.
