1. What does the map above show?

A. The number of calories consumed on average per capita per day across the world.

B. The number of calories available per capita each day across the world.

C. The number of calories wasted per capita each day across the world.

D. The difference in calorie consumption levels per capita across the world per day.

Explanation

The correct answer is B.

This is a graph demonstrating daily per capita caloric supply. The important thing for candidates to look at is the word ‘supply’, ignoring this would lead candidates to most likely choose an answer looking at calorie consumption. The graph is looking at the amount of calories available per capita per day across the world.

Just to say, none of these questions in this test seem like they would be asked by Acer. The cartoon ones are ok, but most of these aren't relevent.

2. Overall where in the world is caloric supply highest?

A. Africa

B. Eastern Europe

C. Northern America

D. Western Europe

Explanation

The correct answer is C.

Northern America, largest areas of dark blue.

3. Where in the world is caloric supply lowest?

A. South America

B. Western Europe

C. Middle East

D. Africa

Explanation

The correct answer is D.

The greatest amount of light coloured areas are in Africa.

4. Which of the following statements are most accurate?

A. There is disproportionate caloric supply across the world with lower income countries typically having lower caloric supply than high income countries.

B. There is disproportionate caloric supply across the world with lower income countries having caloric supply levels that are on average 10% lower than high income countries.

C. There is disproportionate caloric supply across the world with higher income countries typically having lower caloric supply than low income countries.

D. There is disproportionate caloric supply across the world with lower income countries typically having lower caloric supply than high income countries due to their preference for low calorie foods.

Explanation

The correct answer is A.

Statement C is false. Statement D is unsupported and also false. There is no way to know that caloric supply is on average 10% lower as each colour is for a range of calorie intake.

Post Comment

https://ourworldindata.org/food-supply

5. What is the most likely reason for some data being unavailable?

A. Countries unwilling to provide their data.

B. These countries are largely unpopulated and therefore it is not important to know about their caloric supply.

C. These countries have no records of the caloric supply.

D. The study did not include the data as it did not fit with their other findings.

Explanation

The correct answer is C.

Of the reasons above C is the most valid. B and D are very unlikely and not a logical reason for the data to not be available. C is more likely to be the reason than A.

6. Meaning of the term per capita?

A. Per capital city.

B. Per adult

C. Per person

D. Per tax paying citizen

Explanation

The correct answer is C.

Per capita is latin for ‘by head’ meaning the data is shown per person. Answers A and D can be ruled out as they would give inaccurate and limited data and therefore are not a measurement source a study would use. There is no evidence that this is an adult only study and per capita refers to all people, not adults.

7. What is the likely meaning of Gross Domestic Product?

A. The amount of income per capita per country across the world.

B. The amount of product per capita per country across the world.

C. The amount a country spends on exporting products per annum per capita.

D. The amount a country spends on importing products per annum per capita.

Explanation

The correct answer is B.

The clue is in the name ‘Gross Domestic Product’ so even if candidates are unaware of GDP they should be able to reason an answer to this question.

GDP IS NOT PER CAPITA, WHY DO ALL THE ANSWERS HAVE PER CAPITA

https://howmuch.net/articles/gdp-per-capita-2018

8. Where is GDP highest?

A. Scandinavia, UK, Australia, US

B. Scandinavia, Australia, US, Iceland

C. Western Europe, UK, US, Australia

D. Central America, Western Europe, Australia, US

Explanation

The correct answer is B.

GDP is not highest in the UK thus ruling out A and C (note other incorrect answers are present in C aswell). Statement D contains western Europe and Central America as answers which are incorrect.

https://howmuch.net/articles/gdp-per-capita-2018

9. Where is GDP lowest on average based on the map above?

A. Central Asia

B. South America

C. Africa

D. Middle East

Explanation

The correct answer is C.

A large number of African countries are shown in dark pink which indicates a GDP of less than 1k.

https://howmuch.net/articles/gdp-per-capita-2018

10. Which of the following statements are most accurate based on the graph above?

A. Countries further from the Equator line are more likely to have a higher GDP.

B. The further a country is from the Ocean the lower their GDP.

C. Countries that are more temperature extreme have lower GDP.

D. GDP is uneven across the world with the majority of countries having a low GDP.

Explanation

The correct answer is D.

Looking at the graph it can be seen that there is more pink than green which supports statement D. A, B and C are unsubstantiated.

Post Comment

https://howmuch.net/articles/gdp-per-capita-2018

11. Which of the following statements is false?

A. Africa has a low GDP indicating they have little products and services they can export to other countries.

B. America has a high GDP indicating they have many products and services they can export to other countries.

C. The more products and services a country has available to export the more they spend on transport production e.g. boats, planes.

D. Western Europe has a higher GDP than Eastern Europe.

Explanation

The correct answer is C.

There is no evidence that a country with a higher GDP spends more on transport.

Note RI is renal impairment.

12. What does the data of the graph above represent?

A. The effects of plasma sucrose concentrations on renal function.

B. The relationship between renal function, sugar dosage levels and sucrose plasma concentrations.

C. The rate at which different concentrations of sucrose are metabolised and removed by the kidneys.

D. The effects of sucrose on plasma.

Explanation

The correct answer is B.

The data does not show sucrose to have an impact on renal function of plasma. There is no mention of metabolism rates therefore B is correct.

13. How many participants were present in this study in total?

A. 6

B. 12

C. 24

D. Unknown

Explanation

The correct answer is C.

Study populations for each group tested is listed as being 6 therefore answer C is correct. There is no data in the graph to support any of the other answers.

Could it be argued that it is unclear whether the n=6 for the normal renal function and impaired renal function groups are actually the same participants?

Jan Medicmind Tutor

Fri, 10 Mar 2023 18:24:51

I disagree that the correct answer is C as it cannot be deduced from the figure that those are all different participants. It is possible that n=12 as the participants may have taken both doses of sucrose.

Levi Medicmind Tutor

Thu, 07 Nov 2024 18:35:15

I agree with Jan, there is nothing in the graph to indicate whether this is two cohorts, each subject to two trials, or four cohorts.

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Pharmacokinetic-profile-of-sucrose-in-plasma-following-CSL112-infusion-Shown-are-mean_fig4_327819194

Note RI is renal impairment.

14. Which of the following has the highest plasma sucrose concentration at 4 hours?

A. Normal renal function CSL 112 2g

B. Moderate RI CSL 112 2g

C. Normal renal function CSL 112 6g

D. Moderate RI SCL 112 6g

Explanation

The correct answer is D.

Candidates need to be sure to read the graph carefully.

Note RI is renal impairment.

15. When is plasma sucrose concentration of CSL 112 2g highest in moderate renal impairment?

A. 4 hours

B. 3 hours

C. 2 hours

D. 1 hours

Explanation

The correct answer is C.

Plasma sucrose concentration is highest at 2 hours. Candidates need to be sure to measure correctly and read the correct line on the graph.

Note RI is renal impairment.

16. Which of the following statements regarding conclusions from the data on the graph is most valid?

A. The better the function of the kidney the higher the plasma sucrose concentration.

B. Renal impairment results in higher plasma sucrose concentrations.

C. No matter the dosage or kidney function plasma sucrose concentrations all fall to zero.

D. Those with normal renal function are better at controlling plasma sucrose concentration than those with renal impairment.

Explanation

The correct answer is B.

B is supported by the data in the graph, those with renal impairment had higher plasma sucrose concentrations and is the most valid conclusion to be drawn.

'Result in' does not seem appropriate. Probably 'associate with'

JK Medicmind Tutor

There's just a correlation, which is not necessarily a causation

Will Medicmind Tutor

Mon, 27 Feb 2023 02:37:14

The final data points of two data points of the blue lines (both the normal function and moderate RI) show a final data point which are almost at the same concentration. Therefore B cannot be concluded as normal renal function was not measured to 24 h to see if would go below the moderate RI at 6g.

17. What does the graph above show?

A. The bodies preferential use of aerobic respiration.

B. The bodies use of anaerobic respiration when there is excessive amounts of carbohydrates present.

C. The change in the bodies reliance on aerobic and anaerobic respiration as exercise intensity increases.

D. How the body works to increase exercise intensity to maximise the production of lactate.

Explanation

The correct answer is C.

The graph shows how the body switches from more aerobic based respiration to more anaerobic based respiration as exercise intensity increases. Thus answer C is correct.

Post Comment

https://ib.bioninja.com.au/standard-level/

18. At what point does the body switch from mostly aerobic to mostly anaerobic respiration?

A. Exercise intensity of 40.

B. Energy percentage of 50.

C. Energy percentage of 48.

D. Exercise intensity of 35.

Explanation

The correct answer is D.

Exercise intensity is what dictates the switch from mainly aerobic to mainly anaerobic respiration thus making B and C incorrect answers. Candidates need to read the graph carefully to see that D is correct.

Post Comment

Jessica Simpson Medicmind Tutor

Sat, 20 Aug 2022 15:38:15

At 35 the balance between aerobic and anaerobic are equal, so surely it should be 40, where anaerobic is greater?!

Guest Medicmind Tutor

Fri, 02 Sep 2022 20:54:17

Jessica, it is when the point starts not when it is already greater.

https://ib.bioninja.com.au/standard-level/

19. Based on the graph what conclusion about anaerobic respiration can be made?

A. The greater the exercise intensity the more anaerobic respiration is used.

B. The greater the exercise intensity the more balanced between anaerobic and aerobic respiration the body becomes.

C. Anaerobic respiration is more efficient than aerobic respiration.

D. Anaerobic respiration is only used in times of high exercise intensity.

Explanation

The correct answer is A.

The other statements are unsupported by the graph data.

Post Comment

20. What is the most accurate description of lactate?

A. Lactate is a byproduct of aerobic respiration.

B. Lactate is the end product of aerobic respiration.

C. Lactate is a by product of anaerobic respiration.

D. Lactate is the end product of anaerobic respiration.

Explanation

The correct answer is C.

Lactate is being produced in anaerobic respiration. The end product of all respiration can be thought of as energy, lactate is not the goal therefore it is a by product.

Post Comment

https://ib.bioninja.com.au/standard-level/

21. Which of the following statements regarding why the graph does not start at 0 is most accurate?

A. The study creators did not obtain data for this value.

B. It is impossible to start at 0 as there is always exercise by the body happening.

C. The data is not relevant at 0 therefore it need not be included.

D. An error in the creation of the graph was made, the values actually are from 0 but the graph was not made correctly.

Explanation

The correct answer is B.

If there was a point of zero exercise this would indicate no function by the body, those whom would have a zero exercise would not be able to perform exercise.

22. What is the purpose of the cartoon above?

A. Raise awareness for the inefficacies of the management of the Covid 19 pandemic.

B. Educate the public on the lies that they have been told about Covid 19.

C. Raise awareness on the conflicting positions between the healthcare staff and the public on the severity of covid 19.

D. Educate the public on the belief amongst healthcare staff that caving to public demands would lead to a resurgence in cases.

Explanation

The correct answer is D.

The cartoon is emphasising that the public’s demand for the restrictions to be lifted and things to return to a state of normalcy will likely result in a rise of cases again and more hospitalisations.

Post Comment

Liv Medicmind Tutor

Thu, 16 Mar 2023 23:58:30

There is nothing in the cartoon to indicate it is about a resurgence in cases. Shouldn't C be a more accurate answer based on just the evidence provided.

jen Medicmind Tutor

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 14:56:26

I do agree with you, but looking closer - i think this is depicted by the healthcare workers sign saying ' see you soon ' implying that all of the publics demands will eventually lead to a resurgence in cases and the healthcare staff will in fact see them soon

Ben Medicmind Tutor

Wed, 23 Aug 2023 20:08:00

I have to agree with Jen. Certainly I can see why many would answer C.

https://www.pe.com/2021/01/04/california-in-denial-political-cartoons/

23. What is most likely to be the authors perception of the general public?

A. The author is in support of the general public, eager for restrictions to lift.

B. The author is likely a healthcare worker and stands with healthcare staff in the view that the restrictions should be lifted.

C. The author views the general public negatively.

D. The author pities the general public viewing them to be victims of unfair treatment.

Explanation

The correct answer is C.

The author communicates a negative view of the general public. This is emphasised by the cartoon featuring what some may regard as juvenile comments by the public.

Post Comment

https://www.pe.com/2021/01/04/california-in-denial-political-cartoons/

24. What is the tone of this cartoon?

A. Hostile towards the government

B. Mocking of the general public

C. Mocking of the healthcare staff

D. Hostile towards the healthcare staff

Explanation

The correct answer is B.

Considering the negative light in which the author paints the general public the tone of this cartoon can be viewed as mocking of the general public.

Post Comment

https://www.pe.com/2021/01/04/california-in-denial-political-cartoons/

25. Consider the number of people in this cartoon, which of the following describes the effect of the number of people drawn?

A. The healthcare staff are shown to be in minimal numbers, they are being heard more than the public though as they are posing a more convincing argument.

B. The pressure of the public is being shown to be greater than that from the healthcare staff due to drawing more of them which shows the government are listening to the public.

C. The single healthcare worker vs the high number of members of the public creates a sense of the healthcare staff being outnumbered by the public.

D. The single healthcare worker vs the large number of public presents the idea that one healthcare worker is enough for multiple members of the public and that there is sufficient healthcare worker numbers to treat all those affected by the pandemic.

Explanation

The correct answer is C.

The healthcare worker is alone and appears to be isolated, the large number of people on the side of the general public isolates the healthcare worker and suggests the healthcare are being outnumbered and isolated from the general public.

26. What is the author communicating through this cartoon piece?

A. A certainty in her use of religious symbols.

B. An uncertainty about her beliefs in her religion.

C. An uncertainty about wearing religious symbols.

D. A disparity between her religious beliefs and those of her family.

Explanation

The correct answer is C.

The author is unsure about whether she should wear her veil which is a symbol of her religion.

Post Comment

eve Medicmind Tutor

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 03:13:56

I think the answer should be D because she is unsure about the veil due to a disparity between her and her family's viewpoint on religion. Isn't D the more accurate answer?

Ella Medicmind Tutor

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 10:15:37

I agree with Eve, I also think that the veil is often a term used to address religion as a whole, it's not about the item of clothing.

Roy Medicmind Tutor

Wed, 04 Dec 2024 02:31:34

The cartoon's black ink shows the girl's hair on the left side and the veil on the right side. The lack of details showing it is a fabric is probably what threw most people off.

27. What is the most accurate meaning of avant-garde?

A. Unconventional

B. Inexperienced

C. Traditional

D. Eccentric

Persepolis by Marjane Sartrapi

https://www.bu.edu/writingprogram/journal/issue-11/chen/

28. Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with based on the cartoon?

A. There is an inability to be modern when wearing the veil.

B. That being religious and being modern are in conflict with one another in the author’s culture.

C. It is not possible for a woman to have a career when she is wearing the traditional veil.

D. A woman who is religious is unable to be modern.

Explanation

The correct answer is B.

Based on the way the author divides the cartoon drawing and describes the conflict between her sense of religion and her family being modern it is likely that the author feels there is a conflict between modern and religion in her culture.

alex Medicmind Tutor

Mon, 29 Aug 2022 14:09:30

Since they have always been religious and modern, would it not make more sense that this statement only refers to the veil being less modern? - as she previously could do both.

Persepolis by Marjane Sartrapi

https://www.bu.edu/writingprogram/journal/issue-11/chen/

29. Based on the cartoon what do you suspect is the purpose of the book it is taken from?

A. Describe the author’s debate about religion and modern beliefs.

B. Describe the author’s journey back to religion.

C. Describe the author’s journey away from religion.

D. Describe the authors journey into engineering.

Explanation

The correct answer is A.

Considering the authors focus on religion and modern beliefs in the cartoon strip above it is most likely that these would be a focus throughout the rest of the book.
