Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Work is defined as the product of the force applied on an object and the displacement of the object in the direction of the force. This means that work is only done when the force and displacement are in the same direction. If the force and displacement are not in the same direction, only the component of the force in the direction of the displacement contributes to the work done. Therefore, choice D correctly defines work in terms of force and displacement. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because work is specifically calculated based on the force and displacement in the direction of the force, not in any direction, only when the displacement is vertical, or when the force and displacement are perpendicular.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: A) Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll. B) Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and other molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP. C) Transpiration is the process by which water is absorbed by plant roots, moves through the plant, and is released as vapor through pores in the leaves. D) Trophic cascade refers to the transfer of energy through a food chain or food web, where the impact of a predator on its prey cascades down the food chain, affecting multiple trophic levels. This term describes the indirect effects that predators can have on lower trophic levels, influencing the entire ecosystem.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A raised hammer represents potential energy as it possesses stored energy due to its position above the ground. When the hammer falls, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it moves. In contrast, options A, B, and D involve objects already in motion, representing kinetic energy. Choice A, a moving car, is in motion and has kinetic energy. Choice B, a spinning top, is also in motion and exhibits kinetic energy. Choice D, a rolling ball, is already moving and thus has kinetic energy. Therefore, only choice C, a raised hammer, is the correct representation of potential energy among the given options.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Cell differentiation is the process by which cells become specialized to perform specific functions. During differentiation, cells acquire specific structures and functions that allow them to carry out particular roles in the body. Cell division refers to the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. Cell growth is the process by which cells increase in size and number. Cell regeneration is the process by which new cells are produced to replace damaged or lost cells in an organism. Therefore, in this context, the process of cells becoming specialized to perform specific functions is best described as cell differentiation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A) Cellular respiration is the correct answer. It is the process by which cells convert glucose into ATP, the primary energy currency of the cell. This process involves a series of biochemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells or the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. Through cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose molecules is gradually released and captured in the form of ATP. B) Fermentation is an anaerobic process that occurs in the absence of oxygen. It involves the partial breakdown of glucose to produce ATP and end products such as lactic acid or ethanol. While fermentation can generate ATP, it is less efficient than cellular respiration in terms of energy production. C) Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This process occurs in chloroplasts and is the opposite of cellular respiration. While photosynthesis produces glucose, it is not the process of converting glucose into ATP. D) Hydrolysis is a chemical process that uses water to break down molecules into smaller components. It is not specifically related to converting glucose into ATP.
