1. Which type of wave does not require a medium for propagation?

• A. Transverse wave
• B. Longitudinal wave
• C. Mechanical wave
• D. Electromagnetic wave

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves, can travel through a vacuum, unlike mechanical waves (sound, water waves) that require a medium to vibrate and transmit energy.

2. Which statement accurately describes cytokinesis in animal cells?

• A. Which statement accurately describes cytokinesis in animal cells?
• B. A cell plate forms in the center of the dividing cell, eventually separating the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.
• C. A cell plate forms in the center of the dividing cell, eventually separating the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.
• D. The nucleus elongates and pulls apart, physically dividing the cytoplasm into two.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: A) This statement is a duplicate of option C and does not accurately describe cytokinesis in animal cells. B) In animal cells, during cytokinesis, a cleavage furrow forms in the center of the dividing cell. This furrow deepens and eventually pinches the cytoplasm into two daughter cells. This process is distinct from plant cells, where a cell plate forms. C) This statement is a duplicate of option A and does not accurately describe cytokinesis in animal cells. D) This statement describes the process of nuclear division (mitosis) rather than cytokinesis, which is the division of the cytoplasm.

3. What property of matter remains constant regardless of changes in gravity?

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

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of changes in gravity or location. It is an intrinsic property of matter.

4. What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

• A. Mass is a measure of inertia
• B. Mass has no relation to inertia
• C. Inertia is a measure of weight
• D. Inertia increases with decreasing mass

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is directly related to its inertia.

5. Which phrase best describes the relationship between smart grid technologies and renewable energy integration?

• A. Competitive and incompatible, hindering each other's effectiveness.
• B. Neutral and independent, neither impacting nor relying on each other.
• C. Complementary and synergistic, enhancing each other's functionality.
• D. Substitutable and interchangeable, offering equivalent solutions.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage highlights the mutually beneficial relationship between smart grids and renewables, with both working together to optimize integration.

6. What is the process of cells responding to external stimuli, such as chemicals, temperature, or touch, called?

• A. Signal transduction
• B. Homeostasis
• C. Adaptation
• D. Metabolism

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: A) Signal transduction is the process by which cells respond to external stimuli, such as chemicals, temperature, or touch. When a cell receives a signal from its environment, it initiates a series of molecular events that ultimately lead to a specific cellular response. This process involves the transmission of signals from the cell surface to the interior of the cell, where they can trigger various cellular activities. B) Homeostasis refers to the ability of an organism to maintain internal stability and balance in response to external changes. While signal transduction plays a role in maintaining homeostasis by allowing cells to respond to external stimuli, it is not the specific process of cells responding to external stimuli. C) Adaptation is the process by which an organism adjusts to its environment over time through genetic changes or behavioral modifications. While cells can adapt to changes in their environment, the process of cells responding to external stimuli
