Hair growth is directly determined by?
-
Waxing
-
Aging
-
Cell division in the follicle
-
Diet & exercise
Correct Answer
A. Cell division in the follicleExplanation
Hair growth is directly determined by cell division in the follicle. The hair follicle is responsible for producing new hair cells, and these cells divide and multiply to form the hair shaft. As the cells continue to divide, the hair shaft grows longer, resulting in hair growth. Factors such as waxing, aging, diet, and exercise can indirectly affect hair growth by influencing the health and condition of the hair follicles, but the primary determinant is the cell division within the follicle itself.Rate this question:

What minimum concentration of alcohol is required for the effective use of disinfection?
-
30%
-
70%
-
90%
-
100%
Correct Answer
A. 70%Explanation
A minimum concentration of 70% alcohol is required for effective disinfection. This is because a concentration of at least 60% to 90% alcohol is needed to kill bacteria and viruses effectively. Lower concentrations may not be as effective in killing these pathogens, while higher concentrations may evaporate too quickly to have a prolonged disinfecting effect.

Hair length is not a factor in the choice of a treatment because it does not directly impact the effectiveness or safety of a treatment method. Factors such as needle length, tip shape, and needle diameter are more relevant as they determine the penetration depth and precision of the treatment. Hair length, on the other hand, may affect the ease of access to the treatment area, but it does not play a significant role in the selection of a treatment method.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. RheostatExplanation
A rheostat is a device that regulates the strength of a current. It works by varying the resistance in a circuit, thereby controlling the flow of current. By adjusting the position of the rheostat's control knob or slider, the user can increase or decrease the current passing through the circuit. This makes the rheostat useful in applications where precise control over the current is required, such as in dimmer switches or volume controls.Rate this question:
