Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Step 1: Given the object is moving in a circle at a constant speed, it experiences centripetal acceleration towards the center. Step 2: According to Newton's first law, an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net force. Step 3: The only force causing the object to change its direction is the centripetal force. Step 4: Therefore, the net force acting on the object is required to continuously change its direction. Summary: Choice A is incorrect because the net force is not always present. Choice B is incorrect as centripetal force acts on the object. Choice C is incorrect as speed can be constant in circular motion.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Bronchitis. Bronchitis is the inflammation of the bronchi, leading to symptoms like cough and mucus production. Pneumonia (A) is an infection in the lungs, not specifically inflammation of the bronchi. Emphysema (C) is a chronic lung condition characterized by damaged air sacs in the lungs, not bronchial inflammation. Pleurisy (D) is inflammation of the lining of the lungs, not the bronchi. Therefore, based on the symptoms described, bronchitis is the most suitable term for inflammation of the bronchi.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Pulmonary vein. The pulmonary vein is the only blood vessel among the choices that carries oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. The pulmonary artery (B) carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. The aorta (C) carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The vena cava (D) carries deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart. Therefore, the pulmonary vein is the only blood vessel in the list that fits the description of carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Atom. An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains its chemical properties. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Molecules (B) are made up of two or more atoms bonded together. Compounds (C) are substances composed of two or more different elements chemically bonded. Mixtures (D) are combinations of two or more substances that are physically mixed but not chemically bonded. Therefore, in this context, the correct answer is atom as it specifically refers to the smallest amount of an element that can exist independently with its unique chemical properties.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because chromosomal nondisjunction can lead to various genetic disorders such as Down syndrome (A), caused by an extra chromosome 21. Nondisjunction can also result in Turner syndrome (B) in females due to the absence of one X chromosome, and Klinefelter syndrome (C) in males with one or more extra X chromosomes. Therefore, all the options are potential consequences of chromosomal nondisjunction.
