1. What is the law that states energy can neither be created nor destroyed?

• A. Law of Conservation of Matter
• B. Law of Conservation of Energy
• C. Law of Universal Gravitation
• D. Law of Inertia

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is the Law of Conservation of Energy. This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. The Law of Conservation of Matter (Choice A) is related to mass and the preservation of mass in a closed system, not energy. The Law of Universal Gravitation (Choice C) describes the force of attraction between objects with mass. The Law of Inertia (Choice D) states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.

2. Which deadly disease was eliminated through an intensive vaccination program?

• A. AIDS
• B. Smallpox
• C. Diabetes type 1
• D. Rheumatoid arthritis

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Smallpox was eradicated globally through an intensive vaccination program. The World Health Organization (WHO) led a successful global campaign to vaccinate people against smallpox, ultimately leading to its eradication in 1980. AIDS, diabetes type 1, and rheumatoid arthritis are serious conditions, but they were not eliminated through vaccination programs like smallpox. Therefore, the correct answer is B, Smallpox. AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and remains a significant global health issue. Diabetes type 1 is an autoimmune condition where the body attacks insulin-producing cells, leading to high blood sugar levels. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that primarily affects the joints, causing inflammation and pain.

3. What is the relationship between work and the displacement of an object?

• A. Work depends only on the force applied, not displacement
• B. Work is directly proportional to displacement
• C. Work is inversely proportional to displacement
• D. Work is unrelated to displacement

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Work is directly proportional to displacement. In physics, work is defined as the product of the force applied to an object and the displacement of the object in the direction of the force. Therefore, work is directly proportional to displacement. Choice A is incorrect because work is dependent on both force and displacement. Choice C is incorrect because work is not inversely proportional to displacement; it is directly proportional. Choice D is incorrect because work is indeed related to displacement, as described in the definition of work in physics.

4. Which of the following are the products of anaerobic respiration in humans?

• A. Ethyl alcohol and CO2
• B. Ethyl alcohol only
• C. Lactic acid and CO2
• D. Lactic acid only

Correct answer: C

Rationale: During anaerobic respiration in humans, lactic acid and CO2 are produced. Choice A, 'Ethyl alcohol and CO2,' is incorrect because ethyl alcohol is not a product of anaerobic respiration in humans. Choice B, 'Ethyl alcohol only,' is incorrect as ethyl alcohol is not a product of anaerobic respiration in humans. Choice D, 'Lactic acid only,' is incorrect because CO2 is also a product of anaerobic respiration in humans.

5. Which of the following factors can contribute to erectile dysfunction in males?

• A. Diabetes
• B. Cardiovascular disease
• C. Neurological disorders
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Erectile dysfunction can be caused by various factors, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders. These conditions can impact blood flow, nerve function, and hormone levels, all crucial for achieving and maintaining an erection. Diabetes can lead to nerve damage and affect blood circulation. Cardiovascular disease can restrict blood flow to the penis. Neurological disorders can interfere with the transmission of nerve signals between the brain and the reproductive organs. Therefore, all the factors mentioned in options A, B, and C can contribute to erectile dysfunction in males.
