  • 3. 

    If the pH 7 is neutral, and you have the a pH of 9 , how many more times more alkaline is it ? 

    • A.

      1000 times 

    • B.

      60 times 

    • C.

      70 times 

    • D.

      100 times 

    Correct Answer
    D. 100 times 
    Explanation
    A pH of 9 is 100 times more alkaline than a neutral pH of 7. This is because the pH scale is logarithmic, meaning that each whole number change in pH represents a tenfold difference in acidity or alkalinity. Therefore, a pH of 9 is two whole numbers higher than 7, indicating a difference of 100 times in alkalinity.

  • 4. 

    Distilled water has a pH of ? 

    • A.

      4.2

    • B.

      6.5

    • D.

      3

    Correct Answer
    C. 7.0
    Explanation
    Distilled water has a pH of 7.0 because it is neutral. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being the midpoint or neutral point. Distilled water is created through a process of boiling and condensation, which removes impurities and minerals, resulting in a pH of 7.0. This means that distilled water is neither acidic nor alkaline, making it suitable for various applications where a neutral pH is desired.

    Cell division is called ? 

    • A.

      Cell renewal 

    • B.

      Photoplasma 

    • C.

      Mitosis

    • D.

      Nucleus 

    Correct Answer
    C. Mitosis
    Explanation
    Mitosis is the correct answer because it is the process of cell division in which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. During mitosis, the nucleus of the cell divides, and the genetic material is equally distributed between the daughter cells. This process is essential for growth, development, and tissue repair in multicellular organisms. Cell renewal refers to the replacement of old or damaged cells with new ones, but it is not the specific term used for cell division. Photoplasma is not a term related to cell division, and the nucleus is a cellular organelle involved in controlling cell functions, but it is not the process of cell division itself.

    • D.

      Sweat 

    Correct Answer
    A. Blood 
    Explanation
    The skin's acid mantle is a protective barrier that helps maintain the skin's pH balance and prevents the growth of harmful bacteria. Sebum, lipids, and sweat are all components of the acid mantle as they contribute to its protective properties. However, blood is not an element of the skin's acid mantle. While blood vessels are present in the skin, blood itself is not a part of the acid mantle.
