1.
The Cairo Monorail travels on an elevated single-beam track to avoid urban traffic ________.
congestion
gardens
stations
comfort
2.
The substance that the plant secretes to close wounds in its woody stems and completely isolate the affected tissue from the air and microbes is:
Gum and cork
Ascorbic acid
Liquid auxins
Monosaccharides
3.
When dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a solid salt, a gas is evolved with a pungent odor that turns acidified potassium dichromate paper green while a colloidal yellow precipitate of sulfur separates in the reaction vessel. The anion is:
Thiosulfate (S2O32−)
Sulfide (S2−)
Sulfate (SO42−)
Sulfite (SO32−)
4.
A chemical substance used in the laboratory to cause mutations and chromosome duplication in the growing tips of plants is:
Glycerin
Colchicine, mustard gas, or nitrous acid
Hyaluronic acid
Sucrose solution
5.
The main chemical reducing agent inside the Midrex furnace and its industrial source are respectively:
Pure carbon monoxide (CO) produced from metallurgical coke
Water gas (mixture of CO and H2) produced from natural gas (methane CH4)
Carbon dioxide mixed with limestone
Hydrogen gas produced from the electrolysis of water
6.
The ion directly responsible for the explosion of synaptic vesicles and the release of acetylcholine in the neuromuscular synapse cleft is:
Potassium ion K+
Chloride ion Cl−
Calcium ion Ca2+
Sodium ion Na+
7.
Real gases behave most closely to an ideal gas under conditions of:
Very low pressure and high temperature (where intermolecular attraction forces and molecular volumes become negligible)
High pressure and near liquefaction point
Zero gravitational acceleration
Extremely high pressure and low temperature
8.
Sticky Ends resulting from the action of shortening enzymes are characterized by:
Short, extended single strands of unpaired nucleotides capable of spontaneous association with complementary ends
Ends surrounded by peptide bonds
Inactive phosphate sequences
Collagen thickened ends
9.
When a gas trapped inside a rigid container of fixed volume is heated from 27 °C (300 K) to 127 °C (400 K), its pressure increases by a factor of:
127 / 27
2 times
16 / 9
4 / 3 (since P1 / T1 = P2 / T2)
10.
A mercury manometer connected to a gas tank shows the mercury level in the free arm is 4 cm higher than the gas arm (Pa = 76 cm Hg). The gas pressure is:
80 cm Hg
4 cm Hg
72 cm Hg
76 cm Hg
11.
Solid ionic compounds such as crystal NaCl do NOT conduct electricity in the solid state because:
They contain no electrical charges
They decompose in the presence of air
Electrons are moving too rapidly
Their ions are tightly locked in fixed positions within the rigid crystal lattice and cannot move freely
12.
Beta cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas are responsible for secreting the hormone:
Insulin
Somatostatin
Pepsin
Glucagon
13.
The hormone that is secreted from the stomach lining and travels through the blood to return to the same stomach, stimulating it to secrete its digestive gastric juices, is:
Secretin hormone
Pepsin hormone
Cholecystokinin hormone
Gastrin hormone
14.
The method of action of antibodies that is considered the most appropriate and most efficient in inactivating viruses and preventing their penetration into cells is:
Neutralization method
Alignment method
Deposition method
Decomposition method
15.
To distinguish between a white precipitate of barium sulfate (BaSO4) and a white precipitate of barium phosphate (Ba3(PO4)2), one should add:
Boiling distilled water
Concentrated nitric acid in the dark
Dilute hydrochloric acid (Ba3(PO4)2 dissolves while BaSO4 remains insoluble)
Ammonium hydroxide solution
16.
The outer embryonic membrane that surrounds the uterine membrane and from which digital villi emerge, which are immersed in the uterine lining to form the placenta, is:
Amniotic membrane (Chorion)
Corpus luteum
Sagging membrane
umbilical cord
17.
The decisive experiment for Hershey and Chase (Hershey & Chase) To prove that DNA is the genetic material of bacteriophages, I relied on:
Use of deoxyribonuclease enzyme to analyze protein
Isolation of bacterial plasmids
Radioactive phosphorus numbering P-32 in DNA and radioactive sulfur numbering S-35 in the protein envelope
Radioactive nitrogen and carbon numbering
18.
The movement of tension in the tendrils of climbing plants such as peas and grapes depends physiologically on:
Degeneration of tendril cells
Slow growth of the area in contact with the support and rapid growth of the area far from it as a result of the varying distribution of auxins
Secretion of gluey substances
Water loss through rapid transpiration
19.
Pascal's principle states that when pressure is applied to an enclosed, incompressible fluid, it is transmitted:
Undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the containing vessel
With an exponential decay as distance increases
Only downwards towards the bottom of the vessel
Strictly to compressible gases
20.
Which of the following conditions leads to increased secretion of parathormone from the parathyroid glands?
High blood calcium level
Low phosphate
Low level of ionized calcium in blood plasma
Excessive vitamin D excess
