1. What is the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of a wave?

• A. Inversely proportional
• B. Directly proportional
• C. No relationship
• D. Depend on the medium

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Frequency and wavelength have an inverse relationship - as one increases, the other decreases.

2. 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.

3. What is the waste product of protein digestion?

• A. Glucose
• B. Amino acids
• C. Fatty acids
• D. Ammonia

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: Protein digestion involves breaking down proteins into their constituent amino acids. During this process, the waste product produced is ammonia. Ammonia is a toxic compound that needs to be converted into urea in the liver and then excreted by the kidneys in the form of urine. Glucose is a product of carbohydrate digestion, amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and fatty acids are the end products of fat digestion.

4. The process of a fertilized egg attaching itself to the uterine lining is called:

• A. Ovulation
• B. Implantation
• C. Parturition
• D. Menstruation

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Implantation. Implantation is the process where the fertilized egg, known as a zygote, attaches itself to the uterine lining to begin developing into an embryo. Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary, not the attachment process. Parturition refers to the process of giving birth, while menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining if fertilization does not occur. Therefore, in the context of pregnancy, the process described is specifically referred to as implantation.

5. What happens to the concentration of hydrogen ions (\([H^+]\)) in a solution as the pH increases?

• A. Increases
• B. Decreases
• C. Remains constant
• D. Becomes neutral

Correct answer: B

Rationale: As the pH increases, the concentration of hydrogen ions decreases. The relationship is inversely proportional

6. The immune response can be categorized into two main branches:

• A. Humoral and cellular
• B. Innate and adaptive
• C. Primary and secondary
• D. Active and passive

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: - The immune response can be broadly categorized into two main branches: the humoral immune response and the cellular immune response. - The humoral immune response involves the production of antibodies by B cells and is primarily responsible for defending against extracellular pathogens such as bacteria and viruses in the bloodstream and tissues. - The cellular immune response involves the activation of T cells, which can directly kill infected cells or help coordinate the immune response. This branch is crucial for combating intracellular pathogens like viruses and some bacteria. - Options B, C, and D do not accurately represent the main branches of the immune response and are therefore incorrect.
