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. Relatively prime numbers share no common factors other than 1. Which of the following pairs of numbers are relatively prime?

• A. 12 and 16
• B. 15 and 17
• C. 20 and 24
• D. 28 and 36

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Relatively prime numbers are numbers that share no common factors other than 1. - To determine if two numbers are relatively prime, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers. If the GCD is 1, then the numbers are relatively prime. - Let's calculate the GCD for each pair of numbers: A) GCD(12, 16) = 4, not relatively prime B) GCD(15, 17) = 1, relatively prime C) GCD(20, 24) = 4, not relatively prime D) GCD(28, 36) = 4, not relatively prime Therefore, the pair of numbers 15 and 17 are relatively prime because their greatest common divisor is 1, meaning they share no common factors other than 1.

3. What is the functional group present in ethers?

• A. Hydroxyl
• B. Carbonyl
• C. Ether
• D. Amine

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Ethers have the functional group -O-, representing an oxygen atom bonded to two alkyl or aryl groups. The other choices are associated with different functional groups.

4. During vigorous exercise, the respiratory rate increases to:

• A. Meet the increased demand for oxygen in working muscles
• B. Eliminate excess carbon dioxide more slowly
• C. Conserve energy for physical activity
• D. Decrease the amount of oxygen delivered to the body

Correct answer: A

Rationale: During vigorous exercise, the respiratory rate increases to meet the increased demand for oxygen in working muscles. When we exercise vigorously, our muscles require more oxygen to produce energy through aerobic metabolism. Increasing the respiratory rate allows more oxygen to be taken in and transported to the muscles via the bloodstream to support this increased demand. Option A is correct because it accurately reflects the physiological response of the respiratory system to vigorous exercise, ensuring that working muscles receive sufficient oxygen for optimal performance.

5. What is the absolute value of -7?

• A. 49
• B. 17
• C. 7
• D. 14

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Absolute value refers to the non-negative distance of a number from zero. Regardless of being positive or negative, 7 is its distance from zero.

6. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. How does urine flow through the urethra?

• A. Continuously
• B. Only when the bladder is completely full
• C. Under voluntary control of sphincter muscles
• D. A combination of b) and c)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Under voluntary control of sphincter muscles." The urethra is the tube responsible for carrying urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Urine flow through the urethra is not continuous but rather under voluntary control. The sphincter muscles, located at the opening of the bladder and urethra, help control the release of urine. This control allows individuals to regulate when and where they empty their bladder, providing a mechanism to prevent involuntary leakage of urine. Therefore, option C accurately describes how urine flows through the urethra.
