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. Which statement accurately defines power?

• A. Power is the amount of energy stored in an object
• B. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred or work is done
• C. Power is the maximum force exerted by an object
• D. Power is the resistance of an object to change in motion

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Power measures how quickly work is done or energy is transferred or converted.

3. Which preposition best completes the sentence: "She borrowed money _____ her friend."

• A. of
• B. from
• C. on
• D. for

Correct answer: B

Rationale: "From" indicates the source of the borrowed money.

4. The gradual loss of topsoil due to wind or water erosion is called:

• A. Desertification
• B. Leaching
• C. Salinization
• D. Acidification

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: A) Desertification refers to the process by which fertile land becomes desert, typically as a result of drought, deforestation, or inappropriate agriculture practices. The gradual loss of topsoil due to wind or water erosion can lead to the degradation of land and contribute to desertification. B) Leaching is the process by which minerals are washed out of the soil by water moving downwards through it. C) Salinization occurs when salt accumulates in the soil, usually as a result of irrigation in arid regions. D) Acidification refers to the decrease in soil pH, often caused by acid rain or the use of acidic fertilizers.

5. Which of the following processes breaks down cellular components for recycling or waste removal?

• A. Photosynthesis
• B. Cellular respiration
• C. Cell division
• D. Phagocytosis

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is a process in which cells engulf and digest cellular components, pathogens, or other materials for recycling or waste removal. Photosynthesis (option A) is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. Cellular respiration (option B) is the process of converting glucose into ATP for energy production. Cell division (option C) is the process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells. Therefore, phagocytosis is the most relevant process that breaks down cellular components for recycling or waste removal.

6. Which part of the nervous system is responsible for transmitting signals from the sensory organs to the central nervous system?

• A. Autonomic nervous system
• B. Somatic nervous system
• C. Peripheral nervous system
• D. Central nervous system

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for transmitting signals from the sensory organs to the central nervous system. It consists of nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord that carry information to and from the central nervous system. The autonomic nervous system (A) regulates internal bodily functions, the somatic nervous system (B) controls voluntary movements, and the central nervous system (D) includes the brain and spinal cord where processing of signals occurs, rather than transmitting signals from the sensory organs.
