1. A patient weighs 180 pounds. What is their weight in kilograms (1kg = 2.2lbs)?

• A. 68kg
• B. 75kg
• C. 82kg
• D. 90kg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Divide the weight in pounds (180) by the conversion factor (2.2lbs/kg).

2. Tissues are groups of cells with similar:

• A. Appearance only
• B. Function and structure
• C. Location only
• D. Age only

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Function and structure.' Tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform a specific function in the body. These cells have both similar functions, such as carrying out a specific task like contracting in muscle tissue, and similar structures, such as having similar shapes or types of organelles. This allows them to work together efficiently and effectively. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because tissues are defined by more than just appearance, location, or age; they are primarily characterized by their shared function and structure.

3. What is the formula for calculating molarity?

• A. M = n/V
• B. M = n/L
• C. M = mol/L
• D. M = mol/dm³

Correct answer: a

Rationale: All of these choices are equivalent to the original formula. The symbol "n" represents the number of moles of solute, and the symbol "V" represents the volume of the solution in liters. The symbol "L" is an abbreviation for "liters," and "dm³" is an alternative way to represent liters.

4. What is the difference between the atomic number and the mass number of an atom?

• A. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, while the mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
• B. The atomic number is the number of electrons in an atom, while the mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
• C. The atomic number is the number of neutrons in the nucleus, while the mass number is the total number of protons and electrons in an atom.
• D. The atomic number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, while the mass number is the total number of electrons in an atom.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The atomic number and the mass number are two fundamental properties of an atom. They provide important information about the identity and structure of an element.

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

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

Correct answer: d

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

6. What type of force opposes the motion of an object moving through a fluid (liquid or gas)?

• A. Gravitational force
• B. Tension force
• C. Viscous force
• D. Magnetic force

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Viscous force is the resistance experienced by an object moving through a fluid due to internal friction.
