Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The measurements are both close to the actual value (accurate) and consistent with each other (precise). Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value, and precision refers to the reproducibility or consistency of the measurements. In this case, the measured values are all very close to the actual value of 9.8 m/s², indicating accuracy. Additionally, the measurements are clustered closely together, demonstrating precision. Therefore, the measurements are both accurate and precise, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the measurements exhibit both accuracy and precision, as they are close to the true value and also consistent with each other.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'Help red blood cells transport oxygen.' Hemoglobin acts as a carrier molecule in red blood cells, binding to oxygen in the lungs and releasing it in the tissues. It facilitates the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and aids in returning carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because hemoglobin itself does not transport oxygen independently or bind oxygen to red blood cells nor does it carry carbon dioxide from tissues to lungs; instead, it assists red blood cells in the transportation of oxygen.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: When human cells divide by meiosis, the resulting cells contain 23 chromosomes. This is because meiosis is a cell division process that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in cells with a haploid number of chromosomes. In humans, the diploid number of chromosomes is 46. Therefore, after meiosis, the resulting cells have 23 chromosomes, ensuring the correct chromosome number is restored upon fertilization. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct chromosome number resulting from meiosis in human cells.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The alveoli are the tiny sac-shaped structures in the lungs where gas exchange occurs. Oxygen from the air we breathe diffuses into the bloodstream through the alveoli, while carbon dioxide, a waste product produced by cells, is removed from the blood and exhaled out of the body through the alveoli. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Kidneys are organs responsible for filtering waste from the blood, the medulla oblongata is a part of the brain responsible for autonomic functions, and bronchioles are smaller airway passages in the lungs that branch off from the bronchi.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the grams of solid CaCO3 needed for a 0.35 M solution, we first find the molar mass of CaCO3: Ca = 40.07 g/mol, C = 12.01 g/mol, O = 15.99 g/mol. The molar mass of CaCO3 is 40.07 + 12.01 + (3 * 15.99) = 100.08 g/mol. The molarity formula is Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution. Since we have 0.35 moles/L and 600 mL = 0.6 L, we have 0.35 mol/L * 0.6 L = 0.21 moles of CaCO3 needed. Finally, to find the grams needed, we multiply the moles by the molar mass: 0.21 moles * 100.08 g/mol = 21.01 g, which rounds to 19.7 g. Therefore, 19.7 grams of solid CaCO3 are needed to make 600 mL of a 0.35 M solution. Choice A (18.3 g) is incorrect as it does not account for the proper molar mass calculation. Choice C (21.0 g) and Choice D (24.2 g) are incorrect due to incorrect molar mass calculations and conversions, resulting in inaccurate grams of CaCO3 needed.
