4.

What is Newton's first law of motion?

a)

An object will accelerate unless a force is applied.

b)

An object will change direction only when a force is applied.

c)

An object will remain in motion only if it is in a vacuum.

d)

5.

How do plants obtain energy from the sun?

a)

Plants obtain energy from the sun through photosynthesis.

b)

Plants get energy by consuming soil nutrients.

c)

Plants harness energy from water absorption.

d)

Plants absorb energy through respiration.

6.

What role do decomposers play in a food chain?

a)

Decomposers compete with herbivores for resources.

b)

Decomposers produce energy for consumers.

c)

Decomposers recycle nutrients and support the growth of producers in a food chain.

d)

Decomposers are the primary producers in a food chain.

7.

What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change?

a)

Physical changes do not change the substance's chemical identity, while chemical changes do.

b)

Chemical changes can be reversed easily, while physical changes cannot.

c)

Physical changes involve a change in temperature, while chemical changes do not.

d)

Physical changes result in new substances, while chemical changes do not.

8.

What is the function of the human respiratory system?

a)

To digest food and absorb nutrients.

b)

The function of the human respiratory system is to exchange gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the body and the environment.

c)

To circulate blood throughout the body.

d)

To produce hormones for growth and development.

9.

How does energy flow through a food chain?

a)

Energy flows from producers to consumers in a food chain, with energy loss at each trophic level.

b)

Energy is recycled within each trophic level.

c)

Energy flows only from consumers to producers.

d)

Energy is lost only at the producer level.

10.

What is the law of conservation of mass?

a)

Mass is conserved in chemical reactions; it cannot be created or destroyed.

b)

Mass can be destroyed during a reaction.

c)

Mass is only conserved in physical changes.

d)

Mass can be created in chemical reactions.

11.

What is the process of photosynthesis?

a)

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants convert light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.

b)

Photosynthesis is the breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide and water.

c)

Photosynthesis occurs only in animals to produce energy.

d)

Photosynthesis is the process of converting chemical energy into light energy.

12.

What are the three states of matter?

a)

plasma, vapor, foam

b)

c)

gas, liquid, crystal

d)

solid, liquid, gas

13.

How do forces affect the motion of an object?

a)

Forces have no impact on the motion of an object.

b)

Forces can only change the mass of an object.

c)

Forces affect the motion of an object by causing it to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction.

d)

Forces only affect the speed of an object.

14.

What is the role of the sun in a food web?

a)

The sun is the primary energy source that drives photosynthesis in plants, forming the foundation of the food web.

b)

The sun provides water for plants to grow.

c)

The sun acts as a predator in the food web.

d)

The sun is a source of nutrients for herbivores.

15.
