1. What is the formula to calculate gravitational potential energy near the Earth's surface?

• A. Potential Energy=Mass×Acceleration
• B. Potential Energy=Force×Distance
• C. Potential Energy=Mass×Height×Gravity
• D. Potential Energy=Mass×Acceleration due to gravity×Height

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Gravitational potential energy near the Earth's surface is given by the formula PE = � × � × ℎ PE=m×g×h, where � m is mass, � g is acceleration due to gravity, and ℎ h is heigh

2. What is the product of the complete combustion of propane (C3H8)?

• A. CO2
• B. CO
• C. CH4
• D. C

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Complete combustion of hydrocarbons produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water.

3. Identify the reflexive pronoun in the sentence: "She prepared herself for the presentation."

• A. herself
• B. she
• C. presentation
• D. for

Correct answer: A

Rationale: "Herself" refers back to the subject "she," making it a reflexive pronoun.

4. What is the name of the condition characterized by swelling caused by a buildup of lymph fluid?

• A. Anemia
• B. Edema
• C. Hypertension
• D. Diabetes

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Edema. Edema is the condition characterized by swelling caused by a buildup of lymph fluid in the body's tissues. Anemia (A) is a condition characterized by a lack of healthy red blood cells, not swelling. Hypertension (C) is high blood pressure, which does not directly cause swelling. Diabetes (D) is a metabolic disorder affecting blood sugar levels and does not directly lead to lymph fluid buildup and swelling.

5. Microfilaments and microtubules are both components of the cytoskeleton, but they have different functions. Which of these describes microfilaments?

• A. Provide structural support and shape
• B. Facilitate cell movement and contraction
• C. Form the mitotic spindle during cell division
• D. Transport materials within the cell

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Microfilaments are composed of actin filaments and are responsible for facilitating cell movement and contraction. They play a crucial role in processes such as muscle contraction, cell division, and cell shape changes. Microfilaments are involved in generating forces for cell motility and maintaining cell shape, making option B, 'Facilitate cell movement and contraction,' the correct choice. The other options are not accurate for microfilaments: A) Structural support and shape are primarily provided by intermediate filaments, C) Mitotic spindle formation is attributed to microtubules, and D) Transport of materials within the cell is usually carried out by microtubules and motor proteins.

6. What happens during a physical change in matter?

• A. A new substance with different properties is formed
• B. The chemical composition of the substance changes
• C. The original substance can be recovered by physical means
• D. Energy is either released or absorbed

Correct answer: C

Rationale: During a physical change in matter, the original substance undergoes a change in its physical state or appearance without any change in its chemical composition. This means that the original substance can be recovered by physical means, such as melting, freezing, boiling, or condensing. No new substance is formed (option A), the chemical composition remains the same (option B), and energy changes can occur but are not a defining characteristic of a physical change (option D).
