1. Which of the following is the control group in the above experiment?

• A. tank A
• B. tank B
• C. tank C
• D. There is no control group in this experiment.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: There is no control group in this experiment. A control group is a group in an experiment that does not receive the treatment being studied in order to serve as a baseline for comparison. In this case, all three tanks (A, B, and C) are being treated with different amounts of fertilizer, and there is no group that is left untreated to serve as a control for comparison. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they all represent tanks that are part of the experimental groups receiving different amounts of fertilizer, thus none of them can be considered the control group.

2. What is the role of bile in digestion?

• A. To break down carbohydrates
• B. To emulsify fats
• C. To neutralize stomach acid
• D. To absorb proteins

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Bile emulsifies fats, breaking them down into smaller droplets for easier digestion.

3. Which of the following statements regarding heart valves is correct?

• A. The atrioventricular valves lie between the atria and the ventricles.
• B. The pulmonary semilunar valve lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk.
• C. The atrioventricular valves prevent backflow into the atria when the ventricles contract.
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: All of the statements are correct regarding heart valves. Choice A is accurate as the atrioventricular valves indeed lie between the atria and the ventricles. Choice B correctly identifies the location of the pulmonary semilunar valve. Choice C is true as the atrioventricular valves do prevent backflow into the atria during ventricular contraction. Therefore, selecting 'All of the above' as the correct answer is appropriate as all statements are accurate.

4. What is the formula to calculate work?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Work is defined as the product of the force applied to an object and the distance over which the force is applied. The formula to calculate work is represented by Work = Force × Distance, where force is the applied force on an object and distance is the displacement over which the force is applied. Therefore, the correct formula to calculate work is Work = Force × Distance. Choice B, 'Work = Mass × Velocity,' is incorrect because work involves force and distance, not mass and velocity. Choice C, 'Work = Power × Time,' is incorrect because work is not directly calculated using power and time. Choice D, 'Work = Energy ÷ Time,' is incorrect because work is not typically calculated by dividing energy by time; rather, it involves the product of force and distance.

5. Which type of cell division is responsible for growth and repair?

• A. Meiosis
• B. Mitosis
• C. Binary fission
• D. Osmosis

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Mitosis is the correct type of cell division responsible for growth and repair. During mitosis, a cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells, contributing to growth and tissue repair in multicellular organisms. Meiosis, on the other hand, is involved in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells) for sexual reproduction. Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in single-celled organisms, and osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. Therefore, choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they are not directly related to growth and repair in multicellular organisms.
