Correct Answer: B

Rationale: When the temperature of a gas increases at constant pressure, the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases. This leads to the gas molecules moving faster and spreading out more, which causes them to occupy a larger volume. As a result, the density of the gas decreases because the same number of gas molecules are now distributed over a larger space. Choice A is incorrect because as the gas molecules spread out, the density decreases. Choice C is incorrect because the increase in temperature leads to a decrease in density due to the increased volume occupied by the gas molecules. Choice D is incorrect because with the provided scenario of temperature increase at constant pressure, the effect on density can be determined.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Centripetal force is the force that allows an object to move in a circular path. When a car takes a sharp turn, centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle, enabling the car to stay in the curved path. Tension force is transmitted through a string, rope, cable, or wire when pulled tight, and it is not directly related to a car's turning motion. Frictional force opposes motion and is not the primary force responsible for a car's ability to take a sharp turn. Gravitational force is the attraction between masses and does not directly influence a car's ability to maneuver in a curved path.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Exocytosis is the transport mechanism that uses vesicles to move materials out of the cell. Vesicles carry substances to the cell membrane, fuse with it, and release their contents outside the cell. This process is essential for secreting molecules such as hormones, enzymes, or neurotransmitters. Endocytosis, on the other hand, is the process of bringing materials into the cell by engulfing them in vesicles. Active transport involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation of the airways in the lungs, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. Pneumonia is an infection in the lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, leading to symptoms like fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) characterized by damage to the air sacs in the lungs, resulting in shortness of breath and a chronic cough. Pleurisy, on the other hand, is inflammation of the lining around the lungs, causing chest pain that worsens with breathing or coughing. Therefore, the correct term for the inflammation of the airways in the lungs with symptoms of wheezing and difficulty breathing is Asthma.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The pitch of a sound wave is determined by its frequency. Frequency is the number of cycles of a wave that occur in a unit of time, usually measured in hertz (Hz). Higher frequencies correspond to higher pitches, while lower frequencies correspond to lower pitches. Amplitude refers to the height of a wave and is related to the loudness of the sound. Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase, and speed is the rate at which a wave travels through a medium. Therefore, the correct answer is frequency as it directly correlates with the pitch of a sound wave.
