Question #1
The volume of air that remains in the lungs after a maximum forced expiration is called:
A. Residual volume
B. Inspiratory reserve volume
C. Tidal volume
D. Vital capacity

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Residual volume (RV) is the air left in the lungs (about 1.2 L) after a forceful expiration. This prevents lung collapse and ensures continuous gas exchange between breaths. Tidal volume is normal breath volume, vital capacity is the maximum exhaled after maximum inhalation, and inspiratory reserve volume is the extra air that can be inhaled beyond tidal volume.

A. Phospholipids are the main energy storage molecules.
B. Cholesterol is a protein.
C. Triglycerides are composed of glycerol and three fatty acids.
D. They are soluble in water.

Question #3
Consider statements about environment: 1. The greenhouse effect is entirely unnatural. 2. Deforestation contributes to global warming. 3. Ozone depletion causes skin cancer. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps Earth warm; the problem is the enhanced greenhouse effect due to human activities. Deforestation reduces the number of trees absorbing CO2, increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases and contributing to global warming. Ozone layer depletion allows more harmful UV-B radiation to reach Earth, significantly increasing the risk of skin cancers. Thus, statements 2 and 3 are correct.
