1. During sexual intercourse, sperm travels through a tube from the testes to the urethra. What is the name of this tube?

• A. Vas deferens
• B. Epididymis
• C. Seminal vesicle
• D. Urethra

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Vas deferens.' The vas deferens is a tube that carries sperm from the testes to the urethra during ejaculation. It is a crucial part of the male reproductive system, allowing for the transport of sperm for fertilization. The epididymis is where sperm mature and are stored, not where they travel during intercourse. The seminal vesicle is a gland that produces a significant portion of the seminal fluid. The urethra is the tube that carries both urine and semen out of the body but is not where sperm travels from the testes.

2. Alpha waves, characteristic of quiet wakefulness and relaxation, have a frequency range of:

• A. 0.5-4 Hz
• B. 4-8 Hz
• C. 8-13 Hz
• D. 13-30 Hz

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Alpha waves are typically associated with relaxed wakefulness and quiet, non-arousing states. They have a frequency range of 8-13 Hz. This frequency range is slower than beta waves (13-30 Hz) associated with active thinking and concentration, making option C the correct answer. Options A (0.5-4 Hz) and D (13-30 Hz) do not fall within the typical range of alpha waves. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate choice for the frequency range of alpha waves, reflecting the brain's state during relaxation and quiet wakefulness.

3. The process of mixing two or more substances to form a heterogeneous mixture is called:

• A. Dissolving
• B. Diluting
• C. Mixing
• D. Reacting

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Mixing results in a heterogeneous mixture where the components are physically distinguishable, unlike solutions where everything dissolves uniformly

4. A set of integers can be classified as positive, negative, or zero. Which of the following statements about multiplying positive and negative integers is ALWAYS true?

• A. The product will always be positive.
• B. The product will always be negative.
• C. The product will depend on the specific positive and negative numbers used.
• D. Positive and negative integers cannot be multiplied

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: When multiplying a positive integer by a negative integer, the product will always be negative. This is a fundamental rule of arithmetic. The sign of the product is determined by the rule that states that a positive number multiplied by a negative number results in a negative number. Therefore, the statement that the product will always be negative is always true when multiplying positive and negative integers.

5. What is the functional group present in aldehydes?

• A. Hydroxyl
• B. Carbonyl
• C. Ester
• D. Amine

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Aldehydes have the functional group -CHO, which is a carbonyl group bonded to a hydrogen atom. The other choices are associated with different functional groups.

6. Which property of matter remains constant regardless of changes in gravity?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of changes in gravity. Weight, on the other hand, is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass and can vary depending on the strength of gravity. Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, which can change depending on the environment, and density is the mass of an object per unit volume, which can also change with variations in gravity.
