1. 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).

2. Which factor affects the kinetic energy of an object the most?

• A. The object's mass
• B. The object's velocity
• C. The object's displacement
• D. The object's potential energy

Correct answer:

Rationale: Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of an object's velocity.

3. Which hormone stimulates the release of pancreatic enzymes and bile?

• A. Gastrin
• B. Insulin
• C. Cholecystokinin (CCK)
• D. Glucagon

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Cholecystokinin (CCK). Cholecystokinin is a hormone produced by the small intestine in response to the presence of food, especially fats and proteins. It stimulates the release of pancreatic enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the gallbladder to aid in digestion. Gastrin is a hormone that stimulates the release of gastric acid in the stomach. Insulin and glucagon are hormones involved in regulating blood sugar levels, not the release of pancreatic enzymes and bile. Therefore, CCK is the hormone responsible for stimulating the release of pancreatic enzymes and bile in the digestive process.

4. What is the main component of sweat?

• A. Urea
• B. Glucose
• C. Water
• D. Electrolytes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - Sweat is primarily composed of water, making up the majority of its content. Water helps regulate body temperature by evaporating from the skin's surface, which cools the body down. - While sweat does contain small amounts of other substances like urea, glucose, and electrolytes, water is the main component that is secreted by sweat glands to help regulate body temperature during physical activity or in response to heat.

5. What happens to the density of a substance if its mass increases while its volume remains constant?

• A. Density increases
• B. Density decreases
• C. Density remains constant
• D. Density becomes zero

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Density is the ratio of mass to volume. If the mass increases while the volume remains constant, the density will increase as there is more mass in the same volume.

6. Which property of a substance describes its ability to conduct heat or electricity?

• A. Reactivity
• B. Conductivity
• C. Density
• D. Viscosity

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Conductivity refers to a substance's ability to conduct heat or electricity
