1. A table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. What is its perimeter if opposite sides are equal?

• A. 125cm
• B. 150cm
• C. 200cm
• D. 50cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Given that the table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. - Since opposite sides are equal, the table top can be divided into two pairs of equal sides: 75cm and 50cm. - To find the perimeter, we add up all four sides: 75cm + 50cm + 75cm + 50cm = 250cm. - However, since opposite sides are equal, we only need to consider two sides: 75cm + 50cm = 125cm. - Therefore, the perimeter of the table top is 125cm + 125cm = 150cm. - Hence, the correct answer is B) 150cm.

2. Warming up before exercise is important to help prevent

• A. Dehydration
• B. Muscle soreness
• C. Increased heart rate
• D. Low blood sugar

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Muscle soreness.' Warming up before exercise is crucial as it helps increase blood flow to the muscles, warming them up and making them more flexible. This can help reduce the risk of muscle soreness and injury during and after exercise. Dehydration (A) is more related to maintaining proper fluid balance through hydration. Increased heart rate (C) is a normal response to exercise and can be beneficial. Low blood sugar (D) is more of a concern for individuals with conditions like diabetes. Therefore, the most immediate benefit of warming up is to prevent muscle soreness.

3. Which property of a wave determines its energy?

• A. Wavelength
• B. Amplitude
• C. Frequency
• D. Velocity

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Amplitude is directly related to the energy carried by a wave - higher amplitudes correspond to higher energy waves.

4. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) helps the kidneys regulate:

• A. Acid-base balance
• B. Blood pressure
• C. Urine output by controlling water reabsorption
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Urine output by controlling water reabsorption.' Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is released by the pituitary gland and acts on the kidneys to regulate water reabsorption. When ADH levels are high, the kidneys reabsorb more water, leading to concentrated urine and decreased urine output. This helps maintain the body's water balance and prevent dehydration. While ADH indirectly influences blood pressure by regulating blood volume, its primary function is to control water balance, not acid-base balance. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

5. Which of the following is an example of an aromatic compound?

• A. Ethanol
• B. Toluene
• C. Acetone
• D. Butanal

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Toluene is an aromatic compound. The other choices are not aromatic compounds.

6. Which energy conversion occurs in a solar cell?

• A. Electrical energy to light energy
• B. Chemical energy to electrical energy
• C. Solar energy to thermal energy
• D. Solar energy to electrical energy

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Solar cells convert solar energy (sunlight) directly into electrical energy.
