1. What is the relationship between work, force, and displacement?

• A. Work is directly proportional to force but inversely proportional to displacement
• B. Work is directly proportional to both force and displacement
• C. Work is inversely proportional to force but directly proportional to displacement
• D. Work is inversely proportional to both force and displacement

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Work done is the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force.

2. Which term describes a substance's ability to undergo a change that transforms it into a different substance?

• A. Density
• B. Mass
• C. Reactivity
• D. Volume

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Reactivity refers to a substance's ability to undergo a chemical change or reaction, transforming it into one or more different substances with new properties.

3. Which hormone primarily triggers ovulation in the female menstrual cycle?

• A. Estrogen
• B. Progesterone
• C. Luteinizing hormone (LH)
• D. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Luteinizing hormone (LH). LH is the hormone responsible for triggering ovulation in the female menstrual cycle. During the menstrual cycle, LH surge occurs around day 14, which stimulates the release of a mature egg from the ovary. This surge in LH is crucial for the rupture of the mature follicle and the release of the egg, marking the onset of ovulation. Estrogen and progesterone play important roles in regulating the menstrual cycle, but LH specifically triggers ovulation by signaling the release of the egg from the ovary.

4. Which element is present in household bleach and has disinfectant properties?

• A. Sodium
• B. Chlorine
• C. Fluorine
• D. Iodine

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Chlorine's oxidizing ability makes it effective in killing bacteria and other microorganisms.

5. What is the net ionic equation for the reaction: 2HCl(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + BaCl2(aq)?

• A. 2H+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → 2H2O(l)
• B. 2HCl(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
• C. 2H+(aq) + Ba2+(aq) → Ba2+(aq) + 2H+(aq)
• D. Ba(OH)2(aq) + HCl(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Correct answer: a

Rationale: The net ionic equation includes only the species that undergo a change during the reaction.

6. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of living organisms?

• A. Made up of cells
• B. Able to reproduce
• C. Require energy
• D. Non-motile

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: A) Made up of cells: All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. This is a fundamental characteristic of life as defined by cell theory. B) Able to reproduce: One of the key characteristics of living organisms is their ability to reproduce and pass on genetic information to offspring. C) Require energy: Living organisms require energy to carry out various life processes such as growth, reproduction, and maintenance of homeostasis. This energy is obtained through processes like metabolism. D) Non-motile: While some living organisms may be non-motile (unable to move on their own), movement is a common characteristic of many living organisms. Motility allows organisms to respond to their environment, find food, escape predators, and carry out other essential activities.
