1. What is the law of conservation of energy?

• A. Energy cannot be created, only destroyed
• B. Energy can be created but not destroyed
• C. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form to another
• D. Energy is always created in any process

Correct answer:

Rationale: According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy in a closed system remains constant; it can change forms but cannot be created or destroyed.

2. What is the functional group present in aldehydes?

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Aldehydes have the functional group -CHO, which is a carbonyl group bonded to a hydrogen atom. The other choices are associated with different functional groups.

3. What is the final stage of both mitosis and meiosis?

• A. Interphase
• B. Telophase
• C. Cytokinesis
• D. G1 phase

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Interphase (option A) is not the final stage of mitosis or meiosis; it is the phase before cell division where the cell prepares for division by growing and replicating its DNA. - Telophase (option B) is the final stage of both mitosis and meiosis. During telophase, the separated chromosomes reach opposite poles of the cell, the nuclear membrane reforms around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes begin to decondense. - Cytokinesis (option C) is the process of dividing the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. While it occurs after telophase, it is not considered the final stage of mitosis or meiosis. - G1 phase (option D) is the first gap phase in the cell cycle, occurring before DNA replication. It is not the final stage of mitosis or meiosis.

4. Which element shares the same group (family) on the periodic table with helium (He)?

• A. Neon (Ne)
• B. Boron (B)
• C. Carbon (C)
• D. Oxygen (O)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Neon (Ne). Both He and Ne belong to Group 18 (Noble Gases) due to their complete and stable outer electron shells.

5. What is the name for the mixture of reactants and products present during a chemical reaction?

• A. Solution
• B. Mixture
• C. Reaction mixture
• D. Precipitate

Correct answer: C

Rationale: This mixture contains both the starting materials (reactants) and the newly formed substances (products) during the reaction process.

6. What is the term for the chemical reaction that involves the loss of electrons?

• A. Reduction
• B. Oxidation
• C. Neutralization
• D. Precipitation

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Oxidation is the chemical reaction that involves the loss of electrons. The other choices describe different types of reactions.
