1. Stephanie is often seen interacting with the medical intern during coffee breaks and after duty

• A. Formal
• B. Informal
• C. Staff
• D. Line

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Informal.' Stephanie's interactions with the medical intern during coffee breaks and after duty suggest a casual and friendly relationship, rather than a formal or official one. 'Informal' describes interactions that are relaxed, personal, and not bound by strict professional protocols. In contrast, 'formal' interactions would involve more structured and official communication, such as meetings or professional discussions. 'Staff' and 'line' are not relevant in this context, as they do not describe the nature of the relationship between Stephanie and the medical intern.

2. Rectangle: A picture frame measures 15cm by 20cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 30cm
• B. 55cm
• C. 65cm
• D. 75cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Add the lengths of all sides: perimeter = 2 (length + width) = 2 (15cm + 20cm) = 65cm.

3. Which of the following describes the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• A. Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells don't.
• B. Eukaryotic cells are simpler in structure than prokaryotic cells.
• C. Prokaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells don't.
• D. Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells lack these.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells don't.' Prokaryotic cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus enclosed within a nuclear membrane. This distinction is a fundamental difference between the two cell types. Choice B is incorrect because eukaryotic cells are actually more complex than prokaryotic cells due to their membrane-bound organelles. Choice C is incorrect because prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles. Choice D is incorrect because eukaryotic cells have both a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, unlike prokaryotic cells. Understanding this key difference is crucial in understanding the diversity of cell types in living organisms.

4. Balance the following redox reaction in acidic solution: I⁻ (aq) + Cr₂O₇²⁻ (aq) -> I₂ (aq) + Cr³⁺ (aq). Identify the oxidizing agent and reducing agent.

• A. I⁻ is oxidized, Crâ‚‚O₇²⁻ is reduced
• B. I⁻ is reduced, Crâ‚‚O₇²⁻ is oxidized.
• C. Both I⁻ and Crâ‚‚O₇²⁻ are oxidized.
• D. Both I⁻ and Crâ‚‚O₇²⁻ are reduced.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: . I⁻ loses an electron (oxidation), Cr₂O₇²⁻ gains electrons (reduction).

5. What is the unit of force in the SI system?

• A. Newton (N)
• B. Kilogram (kg)
• C. Meter (m)
• D. Second (s)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Force is measured in Newtons, named after Isaac Newton who formulated the laws of motion.

6. Where does bile, a substance that helps digest fats, come from?

• A. Stomach
• B. Pancreas
• C. Liver
• D. Gallbladder

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: Bile is a substance that helps digest fats by emulsifying them, which means breaking down large fat globules into smaller droplets to increase the efficiency of fat digestion by enzymes. The liver produces bile, which is then stored and concentrated in the gallbladder before being released into the small intestine to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats. The stomach (option A) is responsible for the initial digestion of food through the action of gastric juices, but bile is not produced in the stomach. The pancreas (option B) secretes digestive enzymes such as lipase to further break down fats in the small intestine, but it does not produce bile. The gallbladder (option D) stores and concentrates bile produced by the liver but does not actually produce bile itself.
