1. What is the formula to calculate work?

• A. Work = Force × Distance
• B. Work = Mass × Velocity
• C. Work = Power × Time
• D. Work = Energy ÷ Time

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Work is calculated by multiplying force exerted on an object by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.

2. The phrase "green alternative" suggests that bioremediation is...

• A. The most economical option for plastic cleanup.
• B. Faster and more efficient than traditional methods.
• C. Environmentally friendly and less harmful than other solutions.
• D. More aesthetically pleasing than existing approaches.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage contrasts bioremediation with "traditional methods," explicitly linking it to being environmentally friendly.

3. What is the term for the process of breaking a large molecule into smaller fragments by applying heat?

• A. Polymerization
• B. Hydrogenation
• C. Isomerization
• D. Pyrolysis

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Pyrolysis is the process of breaking down large molecules into smaller fragments by applying heat. The other choices involve different chemical processes.

4. What are the different types of electromagnetic waves based on their wavelengths and frequencies?

• A. Visible light, X-rays, radio waves, gamma rays
• B. Sound waves, water waves, seismic waves, shock waves
• C. Longitudinal waves, transverse waves, mechanical waves, non-mechanical waves
• D. None of the above represent types of electromagnetic waves.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Electromagnetic waves are classified based on their wavelengths and frequencies. Visible light, X-rays, radio waves, and gamma rays are all examples of electromagnetic waves with different wavelengths and frequencies. Sound waves, water waves, seismic waves, and shock waves are not electromagnetic waves but rather mechanical waves. Longitudinal waves, transverse waves, mechanical waves, and non-mechanical waves are classifications based on the direction of particle displacement and do not represent types of electromagnetic waves.

5. Hair follicles are openings in the skin that house

• A. Blood vessels (Blood vessels are not housed in hair follicles)
• B. Nerve endings (Nerve endings are present but not housed within)
• C. Hair shafts and hair roots
• D. Sebaceous glands (These glands are often attached to hair follicles)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Hair follicles are structures in the skin that house both the hair shaft and the hair root. The hair shaft is the visible part of the hair that extends from the skin's surface, while the hair root is the part embedded within the hair follicle and extends into the deeper layers of the skin. The sebaceous glands, which produce sebum (an oily substance), are typically attached to hair follicles and help lubricate and protect the hair and skin. Blood vessels and nerve endings are present in the skin but are not housed within the hair follicles themselves. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as hair follicles contain both the hair shaft and hair root.

6. What do isotopes of the same element have in common?

• A. Identical number of protons and neutrons.
• B. Identical chemical properties.
• C. Identical number of electrons.
• D. Identical mass number.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Identical number of protons and neutrons - Isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to varying neutron counts.
