    What is the function of sweat?

    • To dry the skin

    • To cool the skin

    • To cleanse the skin

    • To lubricate the skin

    Correct Answer
    A. To cool the skin
    Explanation
    Sweat is produced by sweat glands in the skin and its primary function is to cool the body. When we sweat, the moisture on our skin evaporates, taking away heat from the body and thus helping to regulate our body temperature. This is especially important during physical activities or in hot weather when our body temperature rises. Sweat also contains small amounts of waste products, which can contribute to cleansing the skin to some extent, but its main purpose is to cool rather than cleanse or lubricate the skin.

    Which of the following is true regarding saponification?

    • It is a chemical reaction that tranforms sebum into soap

    • It is a surfactant enhancer which turns emulsions into solutions

    • It is a highly specialized technique of making liquid soap

    • It is a natural process of the endocrine system which turns perspiration into sebum

    Correct Answer
    A. It is a chemical reaction that tranforms sebum into soap
    Explanation
    Saponification is a chemical reaction that transforms sebum into soap. Sebum is an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. During saponification, the ester bonds in the triglycerides present in sebum are hydrolyzed by a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, to form soap molecules. This reaction results in the conversion of the fatty acids in sebum into the sodium or potassium salts of those fatty acids, which are the main components of soap. Therefore, the correct answer is that saponification is a chemical reaction that transforms sebum into soap.

Unlike direct current, which flows in only one direction, alternating current oscillates back and forth, reversing its polarity. This type of current is commonly used in household electricity and allows for the efficient transmission of electricity over long distances. Unidirectional current and opposite current are not accurate terms to describe this specific type of current.

    Early pigments were NOT made from?

    • Minerals

    • Nuts

    • Feathers

    • Insects

    Correct Answer
    A. Feathers
    Explanation
    Early pigments were made from minerals, nuts, and insects, but not feathers. Feathers were not commonly used as a source for pigments because they do not contain the necessary properties to create vibrant and long-lasting colors. Minerals such as ochre and malachite were commonly used for their natural pigmentation properties, nuts such as walnuts were used for their brown and black dyes, and insects such as cochineal were used for their red dye. Feathers were primarily used for decorative purposes rather than as a source for pigments.
