1. How is power related to time?

• A. Power is inversely proportional to time
• B. Power is directly proportional to time
• C. Power is unrelated to time
• D. Power is the product of time and work

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, and it is not directly linked to time.

2. She tries to design an organizational structure that allows communication to flow in all

• A. Centralized
• B. Decentralized
• C. Matrix
• D. Informal

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Centralized.' In a centralized organizational structure, decision-making authority and communication flow through a single point of control or a specific group of individuals. This setup ensures that communication channels are streamlined and information is disseminated efficiently. By designing an organizational structure that allows communication to flow in all directions, it suggests a decentralized structure where decision-making authority is distributed across various levels and departments. Therefore, 'Centralized' is the best fit for the scenario described in the question.

3. Which of the following is NOT a function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

• A. Synthesis of lipids (fats)
• B. Transport of materials within the cell
• C. Detoxification of harmful substances
• D. Breakdown of cellular waste products

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Detoxification of harmful substances.' The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for synthesizing lipids (fats), transporting materials within the cell, and breaking down cellular waste products. However, detoxification of harmful substances is primarily carried out by the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) where enzymes detoxify drugs and other harmful compounds. Therefore, C is the correct answer as it is not a primary function of the ER.

4. The fundamental units of structure and function in all living organisms, including humans, are termed:

• A. Muscles
• B. Organs
• C. Tissues
• D. Cells

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Cells. Cells are the fundamental units of structure and function in all living organisms, including humans. They are the building blocks of life, performing various functions necessary for an organism to survive and thrive. Muscles (A) are composed of muscle tissue, which is made up of muscle cells. Organs (B) are structures made up of different types of tissues working together. Tissues (C) are groups of cells that work together to perform specific functions within an organism. However, cells are the smallest unit of life and are responsible for carrying out all the essential processes needed for an organism to function.

5. Which of the following is NOT a common symptom of pregnancy?

• A. Fatigue
• B. Nausea
• C. Increased urination
• D. Loss of appetite

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: "Loss of appetite." While it is common for pregnant individuals to experience fatigue, nausea, and increased urination due to hormonal changes and the body's adaptations during pregnancy, a loss of appetite is not typically a common symptom. Most pregnant individuals experience increased appetite, particularly in the early stages of pregnancy. This increased appetite is often attributed to the body's need for additional nutrients to support the growing fetus. Therefore, the absence of appetite loss makes option D the correct choice in this question.

6. What is molarity a measure of in a solution?

• A. Volume of the solvent
• B. Amount of solute
• C. Concentration of solute
• D. Temperature of the solution

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Molarity (M) is a measure of the concentration of solute in a solution, expressed as moles of solute per liter of solution. The other choices do not accurately define molarity.
