Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Electroencephalogram (EEG). EEG is used to record the electrical activity of the brain by placing electrodes on the scalp. It is specifically designed to measure brain waves. A CAT scan (A) uses X-rays to create detailed images of the brain's structure, not its electrical activity. An MRI scan (B) uses magnetic fields to produce detailed images of the brain's anatomy, not its electrical activity. X-ray (D) is used to visualize bones and dense tissues, not brain activity. EEG is the only option that directly measures the brain's electrical activity, making it the correct choice.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Peripheral nervous system. This system consists of nerves that connect the sensory organs (such as eyes, ears, skin) to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). It transmits sensory information from these organs to the CNS for processing. The autonomic nervous system (A) controls involuntary functions, somatic nervous system (B) controls voluntary movements, and central nervous system (D) processes and integrates information but does not directly transmit signals from sensory organs.

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: Ammonia (NH₃). Ammonia is a common base found in household products due to its ability to accept protons and increase the pH of solutions. It is commonly used in cleaning products such as glass cleaners and floor cleaners. A: Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a salt and not a base. C: Vinegar is acidic due to the presence of acetic acid. D: Lemon juice is also acidic due to the presence of citric acid. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it is a common base found in household products, while the other choices are either salts or acidic substances.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In mitosis, sister chromatids are separated and move to opposite poles during Anaphase. This is when the spindle fibers shorten, pulling chromatids apart. Metaphase is when chromosomes align in the middle. Telophase is when the nuclear envelope reforms. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. Therefore, B is correct as it specifically describes the phase where sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
