1. The doctor carefully examined the patient. Which word is the comparative form of the adjective "careful"?

• A. careful
• B. carelessly
• C. more careful
• D. most careful

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The comparative form of an adjective compares two things.

2. What protein complex controls the progression of mitosis through its activation and degradation?

• A. Ribosome
• B. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)
• C. Centriole
• D. Microtubule

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: A) Ribosome: Ribosomes are cellular organelles responsible for protein synthesis and are not directly involved in controlling the progression of mitosis. B) Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK): CDKs are a family of protein kinases that regulate the cell cycle, including the progression of mitosis. CDK activity is controlled by cyclins, which bind to CDKs to activate them at specific points in the cell cycle. The activation and degradation of cyclins regulate the activity of CDKs, which in turn control the progression of mitosis. C) Centriole: Centrioles are involved in organizing the microtubules of the mitotic spindle but do not directly control the progression of mitosis. D) Microtubule: Microtubules are structural components of the cytoskeleton and are involved in various cellular processes, including mitosis, but they do not control

3. What effect does doubling the net force applied to an object have on its acceleration, assuming mass remains constant?

• A. Acceleration doubles
• B. Acceleration is halved
• C. Acceleration remains the same
• D. Acceleration quadruples

Correct answer: a

Rationale: According to Newton's second law (F = ma), if mass remains constant and force doubles, acceleration also doubles.

4. What is the SI unit of measurement for acceleration?

• A. Meters per second (m/s)
• B. Newton (N)
• C. Meters (m)
• D. Meters per second squared (m/s²)

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²) in the SI unit system.

5. Which additional information would be MOST helpful in further understanding the issue of microplastics?

• A. The economic costs associated with plastic pollution cleanup.
• B. The specific types of microbes used in bioremediation processes.
• C. The historical timeline of plastic production and its global distribution.
• D. The aesthetic impact of plastic pollution on beaches and tourism.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Understanding the specific microbes used in bioremediation would directly contribute to knowledge about the solution proposed in the passage.

6. Which of the following is the main organ responsible for regulating sleep?

• A. Thalamus
• B. Hypothalamus
• C. Pituitary gland
• D. Pineal gland

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: The hypothalamus is the main organ responsible for regulating sleep. It plays a crucial role in controlling the body's circadian rhythm, which is the internal clock that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. The hypothalamus receives input from the eyes about light and darkness, which helps in determining when it is time to sleep or wake up. It also regulates the production of melatonin by the pineal gland, which is a hormone that helps control sleep patterns. While the thalamus is involved in relaying sensory information to the brain, the pituitary gland is responsible for producing and releasing hormones, and the pineal gland produces melatonin under the control of the hypothalamus.
