  • A. Spectrophotometer
  • B. Tint meters
  • C. All the above
  • D. Disc colourimetry

Explanation: Food colour can be measured instrumentally with spectrophotometers, tint meters and disc colourimetry.

Correct answer: All the above
  • A. Lactic fermentation
  • B. Non of the aboveFood
  • C. Alcoholic fermentation
  • D. Acetic fermentation

Explanation: Vinegar results when acetic acid bacteria oxidise ethanol into acetic acid in the presence of oxygen, a process commonly called acetic…

Correct answer: Acetic fermentation
  • A. Coffee
  • B. Bread
  • C. Season ting
  • D. Chapati

Explanation: Bread is produced by fermenting cereal flour dough, usually with yeast, which converts sugars into carbon dioxide and ethanol; the carbon…

Correct answer: Bread
  • A. Wheat
  • B. Com
  • C. Barley
  • D. Rice

Explanation: Barley is the traditional principal grain for beer because malting develops enzymes that convert its starch into fermentable sugars.

Correct answer: Barley
  • A. Acetic acid + H2O
  • B. All the above
  • C. Ethyl alcohol + H2O
  • D. Ethyl alcohol + CO2

Explanation: In alcoholic fermentation, yeast converts sugars mainly into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide: glucose is broadly represented as ethanol…

Correct answer: Ethyl alcohol + CO2
  • A. Food preservation
  • B. Food science
  • C. Food technology
  • D. Food processing

Explanation: Food preservation includes the scientific and engineering methods used to delay spoilage and extend shelf life.

Correct answer: Food preservation
  • A. Food Science
  • B. Food processing
  • C. Nutrition
  • D. Food technologyEveryday Science Mcqs

Explanation: Nutrition studies the fate of food after ingestion, including digestion, absorption, metabolism, and utilization by the body.

Correct answer: Nutrition
  • A. Citric cycle
  • B. Calvin-Benson cycle
  • C. Fermentation
  • D. Glycolysis

Explanation: Glycolysis is the pathway that breaks one glucose molecule into two molecules of pyruvic acid, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.

Correct answer: Glycolysis
  • A. Cell division
  • B. Cell elongation
  • C. Cell differentiation
  • D. Cell production

Explanation: Auxin primarily promotes cell elongation by loosening cell walls and increasing water uptake.

Correct answer: Cell elongation
  • A. 10ºC
  • B. 4ºC
  • C. -1ºC
  • D. 2ºC

Explanation: For many crop plants, essential physiological activities become greatly reduced and may cease around the minimum temperature of 4°C.

Correct answer: 4ºC
  • A. Colorimeter
  • B. Paramagnetic analyzer
  • C. Hygrometer
  • D. none of the above

Explanation: A hygrometer measures atmospheric humidity, either directly or through changes in a sensing material.

Correct answer: Hygrometer
  • A. More
  • B. Too muchAccess Government Careers
  • C. No
  • D. Less

Explanation: High humidity reduces the vapour-pressure gradient between the leaf and surrounding air, so the driving force for water loss falls and…

Correct answer: Less
  • A. ATP
  • B. UTP
  • C. CTP
  • D. KTP

Explanation: Photophosphorylation is the light-driven formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate in chloroplasts.

Correct answer: ATP
  • A. Glycogen
  • B. Starch
  • C. Sucrose
  • D. None of the above

Explanation: Plants commonly convert surplus glucose into starch, an osmotically safer storage carbohydrate that can later be broken down for energy.

Correct answer: Starch
  • A. Polysaccharide
  • B. Monosaccharide
  • C. Disaccharide
  • D. Trisaccharide

Explanation: Raffinose is a trisaccharide made of galactose, glucose and fructose. It belongs to the raffinose family of oligosaccharides rather than…

Correct answer: Trisaccharide
  • A. Inner membrane of mitochondria
  • B. Cytoplasm
  • C. matrix of mitochondria
  • D. Chloroplast

Explanation: In aerobic respiration, the electron transport chain is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where electrons pass through…

Correct answer: Inner membrane of mitochondria
  • A. Ribosome's
  • B. Mitochondria
  • C. Lysosomes
  • D. Plastids

Explanation: Mitochondria contain the respiratory enzymes and electron-transport machinery used to release energy through cellular respiration.

Correct answer: Mitochondria
  • A. Glycogen
  • B. Cellulose
  • C. Strach
  • D. Fat

Explanation: Plants commonly store excess photosynthetic food as starch, an insoluble polysaccharide that can later be converted back into sugars.

Correct answer: Strach
  • A. Nitrogen
  • B. Potassium
  • C. Phosphorus
  • D. Zinc

Explanation: Nitrogen promotes leaf formation, chlorophyll production, and vigorous vegetative growth, giving plants a characteristic green colour.

Correct answer: Nitrogen
  • A. Iron
  • B. Phosphorus
  • C. Potassium
  • D. Nitrogen

Explanation: Phosphorus deficiency commonly causes anthocyanin accumulation, giving older leaves a reddish-purple or purplish appearance.

Correct answer: Phosphorus
