1. Which of the following is a characteristic of a solution with a high viscosity?

• A. It flows easily
• B. It has a low resistance to flow
• C. It has a high resistance to flow
• D. It does not mix with other liquids

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Solutions with high viscosity have a high resistance to flow. The other choices do not accurately describe high viscosity.

2. Balance the chemical equation: C4H10 + O2 → CO2 + H2O. What is the coefficient for oxygen?

• A. 5
• B. 6
• C. 7
• D. 8

Correct answer: b

Rationale: The balanced equation is C4H10 + 6O2 → 4CO2 + 5H2O.

3. Which of the following is the smallest unit of matter?

• A. Molecule
• B. Atom
• C. Compound
• D. Element

Correct answer: B

Rationale: An atom is the fundamental building block of matter, while molecules are formed by the combination of atoms.

4. Which structure surrounds individual muscle fibers, providing support and aiding in the transmission of force generated during muscle contraction?

• A. Tendon
• B. Endomysium
• C. Perimysium
• D. Epimysium

Correct answer: b

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Endomysium. Endomysium is the connective tissue layer that surrounds individual muscle fibers within a muscle. It plays a crucial role in supporting the muscle fibers and aiding in the transmission of force generated during muscle contraction. Tendons (option A) connect muscle to bone and do not surround individual muscle fibers. Perimysium (option C) surrounds bundles of muscle fibers, while epimysium (option D) envelops the entire muscle. Therefore, endomysium is specifically responsible for surrounding and supporting individual muscle fibers, making it the most fitting answer.

5. Which element has the highest melting point of any element?

• A. Tungsten
• B. Iron
• C. Platinum
• D. Carbon

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Diamond's strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms make it incredibly resistant to heat and pressure, giving it the highest melting point.

6. Which property of a substance refers to the force exerted on an object due to gravity?

• A. Mass
• B. Weight
• C. Density
• D. Volume

Correct answer:

Rationale: Weight is the measure of the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It is calculated as mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.
