1. What is the name of the white blood cells that attack foreign invaders?

• A. Phagocytes
• B. Lymphocytes
• C. Platelets
• D. Red blood cells

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: Phagocytes are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system by engulfing and digesting foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances. They are part of the body's innate immune response and are essential for protecting the body against infections. Lymphocytes, on the other hand, are another type of white blood cell involved in the adaptive immune response, producing antibodies and coordinating immune responses. Platelets are cell fragments involved in blood clotting, while red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to tissues.

2. Identify the independent clause in the following sentence: "While the chef prepared dinner, the guests chatted and enjoyed the music."

• A. While the chef prepared dinner
• B. the guests chatted and enjoyed the music
• C. While the chef prepared dinner,
• D. the guests chatted and enjoyed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: An independent clause expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a sentence.

3. Two objects with equal masses collide head-on, both initially moving at the same speed. After the collision, they stick together. What is their final velocity?

• A. Zero
• B. Half their initial velocity
• C. Their initial velocity
• D. Twice their initial velocity

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In an inelastic collision like this, kinetic energy is not conserved, but momentum is. Since the total momentum before the collision was zero (equal and opposite velocities), it must be zero after the collision as well, resulting in both objects stopping.

4. Percent Increase/Decrease: A medication dosage is increased by 20%. If the original dosage was 100mg, what is the new dosage?

• A. 80mg
• B. 100mg
• C. 120mg
• D. 140mg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Multiply the original dosage (100mg) by 1 + the percentage increase (20% = 0.2) to get 120mg.

5. The energy required to break a chemical bond is called:

• A. Kinetic energy
• B. Potential energy
• C. Activation energy
• D. Bond energy

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: Activation energy is the energy required to break a chemical bond and initiate a chemical reaction. Kinetic energy (option A) is the energy of motion, potential energy (option B) is stored energy, and bond energy (option D) is the energy required to break a particular chemical bond in a molecule. Among the options provided, activation energy best describes the energy required to break a chemical bond.

6. 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.
