They do, to a small extent, but they transmit most of it.
transparent and translucent objects are the objects that let the light pass through them eg glass, but sometimes translucent objects are colorful so they change the color of the light as it passes through them opaque objects can either absorb the light, like dark material, or reflect, like a mirror.
an objects light can pass through is transparent
Because that object does not reflect light. So glass is transparent because light passes through it. Skin is transparent under X-rays because the skin cannot reflect the high energy Xrays.
No, everything that we can see (besides objects the produce light eg sun, light bulb) reflect light. If it didn't reflect light we would not be able to see it.
Transparent objects allow the complete passage of light. No light goes through an opaque object. Between these two extremes, objects are said to be translucent.
No, a transparent object would totally transmit all light through it. However there are no transparent objects, and objects which we think of as being transparent are in fact translucent. All objects absorb at least some light. Glass for instance will transmit about 90% or so of visible light and reflect the rest. A transparent object will invariably have edges. Those edges are typically polished to facilitate transmission. A polished surface will always reflect some light.

Yes. There is hardly anything that reflects NO light; dark objects simply reflect less light than light objects.
Transparent materials allow light to pass through, Opaque objects completely stop the passage of light, Reflecting surfaces will reflect the light, and translucent objects allow the light to pass, but in a diffuse manner.

A prism refracts light because it's a transparent element with flat, polished surfaces.
no
If it is perfectly transparent, nothing. It can refract and reflect the light. For example, a lens is made of glass which is transparent. The important properties are the refractive index of the material and the angle that light hits the object at.
Transparent objects are the sorts of objects that light passes through. Translucent objects allow the partial transmission of light. Opaque objects prevent the transmission of light.
