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 a measure of how quickly work is done or energy is transferred. It is defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. Power is not directly or inversely proportional to time, as it depends on the amount of work done or energy transferred, not the duration over which it is done. The relationship between power and time is not a direct one, so power is unrelated to time. Choice A and B are incorrect because power's relationship with time is not one of direct or inverse proportionality. Choice D is incorrect because power is not simply the product of time and work; it is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, which can vary independently of time.

2. Which of the following processes breaks down cellular components for recycling or waste removal?

• A. Photosynthesis
• B. Cellular respiration
• C. Cell division
• D. Phagocytosis

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is the process by which cells engulf and break down cellular components or foreign particles for recycling or waste removal. It is a vital mechanism used by cells to maintain homeostasis and remove waste materials. Photosynthesis (A) is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy to produce food, not for breaking down cellular components. Cellular respiration (B) is the process by which cells generate energy from nutrients, not for waste removal. Cell division (C) is the process by which cells replicate and divide to form new cells during growth, repair, or development, not for breaking down cellular components.

3. Which of the following is not a type of muscle tissue?

• A. Skeletal
• B. Smooth
• C. Cardiac
• D. Adipose

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Adipose. Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue that stores fat, not muscle tissue. Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac are all types of muscle tissues found in the body. Skeletal muscle tissue is responsible for voluntary movements and is attached to bones. Smooth muscle tissue is found in the walls of hollow organs and blood vessels, responsible for involuntary movements. Cardiac muscle tissue is found in the heart and is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. Adipose tissue, on the other hand, primarily functions as a storage site for energy in the form of fat.

4. What is the formula to calculate kinetic energy?

• A. Kinetic Energy = Mass × Velocity
• B. Kinetic Energy = Force × Distance
• C. Kinetic Energy = Power × Time
• D. Kinetic Energy = Potential Energy ÷ Time

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. The formula to calculate kinetic energy is KE = 0.5 × mass × velocity^2, which can also be written as KE = mass × (velocity)^2. Therefore, the correct formula is Kinetic Energy = Mass × Velocity. Choice B is incorrect because it represents the work formula. Choice C is incorrect as it represents the formula for work done. Choice D is incorrect as it does not accurately represent the formula for calculating kinetic energy.

5. Which of the following antibodies can cross the placenta?

• A. IgA
• B. IgD
• C. IgG
• D. IgM

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is IgG. IgG is the only antibody that can cross the placenta, providing passive immunity to the developing fetus. IgA, IgD, and IgM do not cross the placenta. IgA is mainly found in mucosal secretions, IgD is involved in the activation of B cells, and IgM is the first antibody produced in response to an infection, but it does not cross the placental barrier.
