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. What is the process by which genetic information is used to produce proteins?

• A. Replication
• B. Transcription
• C. Translation
• D. Mutation

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: A) Replication is the process by which DNA is copied to produce an identical strand of DNA. This process occurs during cell division to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information. B) Transcription is the process by which genetic information from DNA is copied into a complementary RNA molecule. This RNA molecule, known as messenger RNA (mRNA), serves as a template for protein synthesis during translation. C) Translation is the process by which the genetic information carried by mRNA is decoded to produce a specific sequence of amino acids, which are then assembled into a protein. This process occurs at the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell. D) Mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence that can result in alterations to the genetic information. Mutations can occur spontaneously or be induced by external factors such as radiation or chemicals. While mutations can impact protein synthesis, they are not the process by which genetic inf

3. The process of mixing two or more substances to form a heterogeneous mixture is called:

• A. Dissolving
• B. Diluting
• C. Mixing
• D. Reacting

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Mixing results in a heterogeneous mixture where the components are physically distinguishable, unlike solutions where everything dissolves uniformly

4. Two identical balls, one made of clay and the other made of steel, are dropped from the same height. Which ball reaches the ground first, neglecting air resistance?

• A. The clay ball due to its lower density
• B. The steel ball due to its higher density
• C. Both balls reach the ground simultaneously
• D. It depends on the initial velocities of the balls

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In a vacuum (neglecting air resistance), the acceleration due to gravity is constant for all objects regardless of their mass or composition. This means both balls will experience the same acceleration and reach the ground at the same time.

5. Acknowledge the organ devoted to blood filtration.

• A. Liver
• B. Kidneys
• C. Spleen
• D. Pancreas

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The kidneys are the primary organs responsible for filtering blood and removing waste products, excess fluids, and toxins. They play a crucial role in maintaining the body's internal environment and regulating blood pressure.

6. What is the half-life of a radioactive isotope, and how does it relate to its decay rate?

• A. The time it takes for half of the initial sample to decay.
• B. The time it takes for all the sample to decay.
• C. The rate at which new isotopes are created.
• D. The energy released during decay.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Half-life tells the time it takes for half of the original radioactive nuclei to decay, offering an indication of the decay rate.
