Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is increasing pressure. According to Henry's Law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. Therefore, increasing pressure would force more gas molecules into the liquid, leading to an increase in solubility. Conversely, decreasing temperature, decreasing surface area, and increasing particle size would not directly impact the solubility of a gas in a liquid. Decreasing temperature typically decreases solubility as gases are less soluble at lower temperatures. Decreasing surface area and increasing particle size are related to surface area and not the pressure above the liquid, thus not affecting solubility as pressure does.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: When a wave enters a different medium, its frequency remains constant. Frequency is an intrinsic property of the wave determined by its source, and it does not change when transitioning between different mediums. On the other hand, wavelength, amplitude, and speed of the wave can all be altered when the wave moves from one medium to another. Wavelength is dependent on the speed of the wave and can change when entering a different medium due to differences in propagation speed. Amplitude can also change as it is influenced by factors like energy loss or gain at the boundary of the mediums. Speed, determined by the medium's properties, typically changes when a wave transitions between different mediums due to variations in the medium's density and elasticity.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Deuterium, as an isotope of hydrogen, has an atomic number of 1 and a mass number of 2. The nucleus of deuterium contains one proton (as in all hydrogen atoms) and one neutron, totaling 2 nucleons in the nucleus. Therefore, the correct answer is that deuterium's nucleus contains a proton and a neutron. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Deuterium is not just a single proton (A), doesn't have two protons and an electron (C), and doesn't contain two neutrons (D). The correct composition of deuterium's nucleus is one proton and one neutron.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Lymph moves through the lymphatic vessels primarily due to muscle contractions and breathing movements and also with the help of one-way valves within the vessels. The lymphatic system lacks a central pump like the heart; hence, it relies on the contraction of surrounding muscles and breathing movements to propel lymph fluid. One-way valves within the lymphatic vessels prevent backflow and ensure the unidirectional flow of lymph. Option A is incorrect as the lymphatic system does not rely on the pumping action of the heart. Option D is incorrect as the correct answer is the combination of muscle contractions, breathing movements, and one-way valves, not all the options provided.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The trachea is the correct scientific term for the windpipe, a tube that carries air from the larynx to the bronchi. It is an essential part of the respiratory system, enabling the passage of air to and from the lungs. The pharynx is the region behind the mouth and nasal cavity, acting as a passageway for air and food. The epiglottis is a cartilage flap that shields the trachea during swallowing to prevent food from entering the airway. Bronchioles are smaller airways that branch off from the bronchi within the lungs, further dividing and distributing air within the lungs.
