1. Which row of the table below correctly identifies the types of nutrient 1, 2 and 3?
  • 1
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is B.

    Looking at the first column titled ‘mouth’, only digested food of nutrient 1 is present, whilst nutrients 2 and 3 remain fully digested. Only starch is digested in the mouth (by salivary amylases), therefore nutrient 1 must be starch. So the answer must be B or E. Looking at the second column titled ‘stomach’, nutrient 2 is partially digested whilst nutrient 3 remains fully undigested. Only proteins are digested in the stomach (by proteases such as pepsin), therefore nutrient 2 must be protein. Therefore B is the correct answer.

    Three resistors of equal value are connected up as shown.

    8. Arrange the letters corresponding to the four combinations in increasing order of resistance (least resistance first).
  • 1
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is B.

    For 2 parallel resistors, the total resistance can be calculated using the following equation.

    Let the resistance of one resistor be 1

    A: (1/1) + (1/1) + (1/1) = 3 -> 1/3

    B: Parallel section: (1/1) + (1/1) = 2 -> 1/2 Total: 1/2 + 1 = 3/2

    C: (1/2) + (1/1) = 3/2 -> 2/3

    D: 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
