  1. During photosynthesis, what are the raw materials (inputs) that plants use?

    Answer: Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight

    Photosynthesis equation: CO₂ + H₂O + light energy → glucose + O₂. The inputs are carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

  2. Two bar magnets are brought near each other with north poles facing. What will happen?

    Answer: They will repel each other

    Like magnetic poles repel each other (N-N or S-S). Unlike poles attract (N-S).

  3. Which of the following is an example of a chemical change?

    Answer: Wood burning in a fire

    Burning wood is a chemical change — new substances (ash, carbon dioxide, water vapor) are formed. The original wood cannot be recovered.

  4. In which phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?

    Answer: S phase (Synthesis)

    DNA replication occurs during the S (Synthesis) phase of interphase, before mitosis begins. The cell copies its entire DNA during this phase.

  5. A student notices that when light passes through a glass prism, it separates into a rainbow of colors. This phenomenon is called:

    Answer: Refraction and dispersion

    White light bends (refracts) as it enters the prism, and because different wavelengths (colors) bend at different angles, they separate (dispersion) into a spectrum.

  6. Which of the following BEST describes natural selection?

    Answer: Traits that improve survival are passed on to offspring more often over generations

    Natural selection is the process by which traits that improve survival and reproduction become more common in a population over generations, without conscious choice.
