    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    DCPIP is a chemical compound that is commonly used to test for the presence of vitamin C in food. It works by changing color when it reacts with vitamin C, allowing us to visually determine its presence. This test is based on the fact that DCPIP is blue in its oxidized form but turns colorless when it reacts with vitamin C, indicating that the food contains vitamin C. Therefore, DCPIP is a reliable indicator for testing the presence of vitamin C in food.

It refers to drugs that are used for enjoyment or pleasure rather than for medical purposes. The word "Recreational" is the same word, but with the first letter capitalized. Both versions are correct, but the answer is case sensitive, so both "recreational" and "Recreational" are accepted as correct answers.

    Gas exchange takes place in which part of the lungs?

    • Alveoli

    Correct Answer
    A. Alveoli
    Explanation
    Gas exchange takes place in the alveoli of the lungs. The alveoli are small, thin-walled sacs that are surrounded by capillaries. Oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses through the walls of the alveoli and into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide, a waste product of cellular respiration, diffuses from the bloodstream into the alveoli to be exhaled. This exchange of gases allows for the oxygenation of the blood and the removal of carbon dioxide, enabling the body to properly oxygenate tissues and remove waste products.
