1. Which of the following is NOT a process of heat transfer?
- A.
Option 1(a)insulation
- B.
B)radiation
- C.
C)conduction
- D.
)convection
- E.
Option 5
Correct Answer
A. Option 1(a)insulationExplanation
Insulation is not a process of heat transfer. Insulation is a method used to prevent or reduce the transfer of heat between objects or areas. It involves using materials with low thermal conductivity to create a barrier that restricts the flow of heat. In contrast, radiation, conduction, and convection are all processes of heat transfer. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects, and convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids.Rate this question:

4. ........ is not an excretory organ.
- A.
(a)kidney
- B.
(b)lung
- C.
C)anus
- D.
D)skin
Correct Answer
C. C)anusExplanation
The anus is not considered an excretory organ because its primary function is to eliminate solid waste from the body, rather than excreting metabolic waste products. The kidneys, lungs, and skin are all involved in excretion processes. The kidneys filter waste products from the blood and produce urine, the lungs remove carbon dioxide through respiration, and the skin helps eliminate toxins through sweat. However, the anus is responsible for the elimination of feces, which is not considered a metabolic waste product.Rate this question:

5. The blood vessels that carry blood to and away from the heart respectively are;
- A.
(a)veins and arteries
- B.
B)veins and capillaries
- C.
(c)arteries and capillaries
- D.
D)arteries and veins
Correct Answer
A. (a)veins and arteriesExplanation
Veins are blood vessels that carry blood away from the body's organs and tissues back to the heart. Arteries, on the other hand, carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body's organs and tissues. Therefore, veins and arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood to and away from the heart respectively.Rate this question:

9. Examples of non-degradable materials are the following EXCEPT ..........
- A.
A)polythene bags
- B.
B)broken bottles
- C.
(c)dead animals
- D.
(d)rusty iron plates
Correct Answer
C. (c)dead animalsExplanation
Non-degradable materials are those that cannot be broken down or decomposed by natural processes. Polythene bags, broken bottles, and rusty iron plates are all examples of non-degradable materials because they do not break down easily and can persist in the environment for a long time. However, dead animals are biodegradable, meaning they can be broken down by bacteria, fungi, and other organisms. Therefore, dead animals are not an example of a non-degradable material.Rate this question:

A)refuse
- B.
B)sewage
- C.
(c)oil spillage
- D.
(d)oxygen
- E.
Option 5
Correct Answer
D. (d)oxygenExplanation
Oxygen is not a form of water pollution. Water pollution refers to the contamination of water bodies, such as rivers, lakes, and oceans, by harmful substances or pollutants. Refuse, sewage, and oil spillage are all examples of water pollution as they introduce pollutants into the water, causing harm to the aquatic ecosystem and potentially to human health. Oxygen, on the other hand, is a vital component of water and necessary for the survival of aquatic organisms.Rate this question:

12. The secretion from the liver is called .......
- A.
(a)bile
- B.
(b)gallbladder
- C.
(c)gastric juice
- D.
(d)pancreatic juice
Correct Answer
A. (a)bileExplanation
The secretion from the liver is called bile. Bile is a yellowish-green fluid that is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It plays a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of fats. Bile is released into the small intestine during digestion to help break down fats into smaller molecules, making them easier to absorb. It also helps in the elimination of waste products from the body, particularly bilirubin, a waste product of red blood cell breakdown.Rate this question:

- D.
(d)18
Correct Answer
B. (b) 14Explanation
A coronavirus victim can be isolated for 14 days because this is the recommended period of time for quarantine as per the guidelines provided by health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). During this time, individuals who have been infected with the virus are expected to stay away from others to prevent the spread of the virus. This isolation period allows for the virus to run its course and for symptoms to subside, reducing the risk of transmission to others.Rate this question:

- A.
(a)evaporation
- B.
(b)melting
- C.
(c)boiling
- D.
(d)diffusion
Correct Answer
B. (b)meltingExplanation
When solids change into liquids at an appropriate temperature, the process is called melting. This occurs when the solid's particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them together in a rigid structure, causing them to break free and move more freely as a liquid. Evaporation refers to the process of a liquid turning into a gas, boiling specifically refers to the rapid formation of bubbles within a liquid due to its vaporization, and diffusion refers to the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.Rate this question:

- A.
(a)unsafe sex
- B.
(b)handshake
- C.
(c)insect bite
- D.
(d)sharing bed
Correct Answer
A. (a)unsafe sexExplanation
HIV/AIDS can be transmitted through unsafe sex, which includes engaging in sexual activities without using protection such as condoms. This is because the virus can be present in the bodily fluids of an infected person, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. Therefore, engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected person can lead to the transmission of the virus.Rate this question:

(d) tendon
Correct Answer
C. (c) ligamentExplanation
The connective tissue between two joints is called a ligament. Ligaments are tough, fibrous bands that connect bones to other bones, providing stability and support to the joints. They help to prevent excessive movement and maintain the proper alignment of the bones within the joint. Ligaments are made up of collagen fibers and are highly elastic, allowing them to stretch and recoil to accommodate joint movement. Unlike tendons, which connect muscles to bones, ligaments do not have the ability to contract or generate force.Rate this question:

B. (b) carbonExplanation
Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Carbon is added to iron in varying amounts to create steel with different properties. The carbon content in steel can range from 0.2% to 2.1% by weight. The addition of carbon improves the hardness, strength, and overall durability of the steel. Therefore, option (b) carbon is the correct answer.Rate this question:

Option 6
Correct Answer
D. (d) titrationExplanation
Filtration, decantation, and distillation are all examples of separating techniques used to separate mixtures based on their physical properties such as size, density, or boiling point. Filtration is used to separate solid particles from a liquid or gas by passing it through a porous material. Decantation is the process of separating a liquid from a solid by carefully pouring off the liquid without disturbing the solid. Distillation is a technique used to separate mixtures based on differences in boiling points. Titration, on the other hand, is a technique used to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution by adding a solution of known concentration until the reaction is complete. It is not a technique used for separating mixtures.Rate this question:
