Which gas do humans exhale during respiration?

  • A Hydrogen
  • B Oxygen
  • C Carbon dioxide
  • D Nitrogen
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Carbon dioxide
Explanation: During respiration, humans exhale carbon dioxide, a waste product generated when cells break down glucose to produce energy. This exchange of oxygen intake and carbon dioxide release occurs continuously in the lungs' alveoli.

What is the term for animals that are active at night?

  • A Crepuscular
  • B Diurnal
  • C Hibernating
  • D Nocturnal
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Nocturnal
Explanation: Nocturnal animals, such as owls and bats, are active during the night and rest during the day. This behavior helps them avoid predators, extreme daytime temperatures, or competition for food with diurnal species.

Which human organ is primarily responsible for producing bile?

  • A Liver
  • B Gallbladder
  • C Stomach
  • D Pancreas
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Liver
Explanation: The liver produces bile, a fluid that aids in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. Bile is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder before being released during digestion of fatty foods.

What is the boiling point of water at sea level in Celsius?

  • A 90°C
  • B 80°C
  • C 100°C
  • D 110°C
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — 100°C
Explanation: Water boils at 100°C (212°F) at standard atmospheric pressure at sea level. The boiling point decreases at higher altitudes due to lower atmospheric pressure, which is why cooking takes longer in mountainous regions.

Which device converts sound waves into electrical signals for recording or amplification?

  • A Microphone
  • B Loudspeaker
  • C Capacitor
  • D Battery
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Microphone
Explanation: A microphone uses a diaphragm that vibrates with incoming sound waves and converts those mechanical vibrations into electrical signals through electromagnetic or capacitive transduction.

Which property of water causes it to expand when it freezes making ice less dense than liquid water?

  • A Hydrogen bonding creating a crystalline structure
  • B High specific heat capacity
  • C High surface tension
  • D High viscosity
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Hydrogen bonding creating a crystalline structure
Explanation: Water expands when it freezes because hydrogen bonds arrange water molecules into a hexagonal crystalline lattice that takes up more space than the same number of liquid water molecules.

Which medical imaging technique uses high frequency sound waves to visualise internal organs?

  • A MRI
  • B Ultrasound
  • C X-ray
  • D CT scan
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Ultrasound
Explanation: Ultrasound imaging uses high frequency sound waves above 20000 Hz that reflect off internal organs to produce real-time images widely used in pregnancy monitoring and organ diagnosis.

Which everyday material acts as a natural antibacterial due to its low water activity and acidic pH?

  • A Yogurt
  • B Vinegar
  • C Lemon juice
  • D Honey
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Honey
Explanation: Honey acts as a natural antibacterial because its low moisture content high sugar concentration and slightly acidic pH create conditions inhospitable to most bacterial growth.

Which type of energy is stored in chemical bonds of fuel and released during combustion?

  • A Kinetic energy
  • B Nuclear energy
  • C Chemical energy
  • D Thermal energy
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Chemical energy
Explanation: Chemical energy stored in fuel molecule bonds is released as heat and light during combustion converting chemical potential energy into thermal and radiant energy.

Which everyday observation demonstrates Newton's Third Law of Motion?

  • A A ball rolling down a slope
  • B A rocket expelling gases downward and moving upward
  • C Water flowing downhill
  • D A book resting on a table
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — A rocket expelling gases downward and moving upward
Explanation: A rocket demonstrates Newton's Third Law as hot gases expelled downward produce an equal and opposite upward thrust propelling the rocket into space without needing air to push against.
