1. What is the formula to calculate kinetic energy?

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

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Kinetic energy is calculated using the formula KE = ½ × mass × velocity².

2. A collection of organs working together to perform a specific physiological function is known as a(n):

• A. Tissue
• B. Organ system
• C. Organelle
• D. Organ

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Organ system. An organ system is a group of organs that work together to carry out a specific function in the body. While an organ is made up of different types of tissues that work together, an organ system involves multiple organs collaborating to perform more complex tasks. Tissues (option A) are groups of similar cells working together, organelles (option C) are structures within cells that have specific functions, and organs (option D) are made up of tissues and perform specific functions, but the term 'organ system' specifically refers to a higher level of organization involving multiple organs working in coordination.

3. What is the correct way to write "25th anniversary" as a word?

• A. Twenty-fiveth anniversary
• B. Twenty Fiveth Anniversary
• C. Twenty fifth anniversary
• D. twenty-fifth anniversary

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Ordinals (numbers with "th", "st", "nd", etc.) are generally written as words when used before nouns. Option (d) is correct.

4. In the process of cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to produce energy. What is the main waste product released?

• A. Water
• B. Carbon dioxide
• C. Oxygen
• D. Protein

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Carbon dioxide. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP. One of the main waste products released in this process is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of the metabolic reactions occurring in cells and is expelled from the body through exhalation. Water is also produced during cellular respiration, but it is not the main waste product released. Oxygen is required for cellular respiration to occur, and protein is a macromolecule and not a waste product of cellular respiration.

5. Which hormone is crucial for stimulating sperm production in males?

• A. Estrogen
• B. Progesterone
• C. Testosterone
• D. Insulin

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Testosterone. Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and is crucial for stimulating sperm production in males through the process of spermatogenesis. It is produced in the testes and plays a key role in the development and maintenance of male reproductive tissues, including the testes and prostate. Estrogen and progesterone are primarily female sex hormones, while insulin regulates blood sugar levels and metabolism. Therefore, testosterone is the hormone specifically responsible for stimulating sperm production in males.

6. Which respiratory structure is responsible for the humidification and warming of inhaled air?

• A. Trachea
• B. Larynx
• C. Nasal passages
• D. Bronchi

Correct answer: c

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Nasal passages. The nasal passages are lined with mucous membranes that produce mucus to humidify and warm the inhaled air before it reaches the lungs. This process helps to protect the delicate lung tissues from drying out and becoming irritated. The trachea, larynx, and bronchi play important roles in the respiratory system, but specifically, the nasal passages are primarily responsible for humidifying and warming the air as it enters the body.
