  • A. Troponin
  • B. Tropomyosin
  • C. Myosin
  • D. Actinin

Explanation: Myosin is a contractile protein that interacts with actin to bring about contraction of muscle or cell movement.

Correct answer: Myosin
  • A. Tropomyosin
  • B. Tubulin
  • C. Myosin
  • D. All of these

Explanation: Myosin is a contractile protein of muscle. Primary myofilaments are made up of this protein.

Correct answer: Myosin
  • A. Smooth muscles
  • B. Skeletal muscles
  • C. Cardiac muscles
  • D. Both A and C

Explanation: Cardiac muscles are myogenic in nature, because the heartbeat is initiated by the SA node and the impulse of contraction originates in the…

Correct answer: Cardiac muscles
  • A. Sarcolemma
  • B. Sarcoplamic reticulum
  • C. Sarcomere
  • D. Myofilament

Explanation: The sarcolemma is the term used to describe the specialized cell membrane that surrounds each individual muscle fiber (also known as a…

Correct answer: Sarcolemma
  • A. Bone
  • B. Joints
  • C. Muscle fiber
  • D. Glial cells

Explanation: The sarcolemma is the specialized cell membrane that surrounds each individual muscle fiber, also known as a muscle cell or myofiber.

Correct answer: Muscle fiber
  • A. Part between two H zones
  • B. Part between two A bands
  • C. Part between two I bands
  • D. Part between two Z lines

Explanation: The sarcomere is the fundamental unit of a striated muscle fiber, delineated by two Z lines.

Correct answer: Part between two Z lines
  • A. A band becomes short
  • B. | band elongates
  • C. There is no change in sarcomere
  • D. Z- lines get close

Explanation: Option D is correct since the sarcomere shortens during muscle contraction. A sarcomere is a structure bound by two consecutive Z lines.

Correct answer: Z- lines get close
  • A. Glycosidic bond
  • B. Hydrogen bond
  • C. Peptide bond
  • D. Disulfide bond

Explanation: The correct answer is the glycosidic bond. This bond is a covalent linkage specifically formed between two monosaccharides, resulting in…

Correct answer: Glycosidic bond
  • A. 1
  • B. 3
  • C. 4
  • D. 5

Explanation: In the Calvin cycle, six molecules of Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) are produced.

Correct answer: 1
  • A. DNA and histone protein
  • B. RNA and histone protein
  • C. Nitrogenous base and sugar.
  • D. Niitrogenous base, sugar and phosphate

Explanation: A nucleosome is composed of DNA and histone proteins, forming the basic unit of DNA packaging in eukaryotic cells.

Correct answer: DNA and histone protein
  • A. 3
  • B. 6
  • C. 9
  • D. 12

Explanation: The correct answer is Option C: 9. The water-soluble vitamins include the B-complex vitamins and Vitamin C.

Correct answer: 9

  • B. SER-RER-Golgi apparatus-Secretory vesicles
  • C. RER-SER-Golgi apparatus-Secretory vesicles
  • D. RER-Golgi apparatus-Secretory vesicles-SER

Explanation: The correct answer is C: RER-SER-Golgi apparatus-Secretory vesicles. This sequence accurately represents the pathway of secretory…

Correct answer: RER-SER-Golgi apparatus-Secretory vesicles
  • A. Outer anal sphincter
  • B. Both outer and inner anal sphiniters
  • C. Inner and sphiniter
  • D. Connot be inhibited

Explanation: The majority of protein digestion occurs in the duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine.

Correct answer: Outer anal sphincter
  • A. Adhesion
  • B. Cohesion
  • C. Capillary action
  • D. Transpiration

Explanation: This is the correct answer. Adhesion refers to the attraction between molecules of different substances.

Correct answer: Adhesion
  • A. Fatty acids
  • B. Ribulose
  • C. Ascorbic acid
  • D. Deoxyribonucleic acid
  • E. Ribonucleic acid

Explanation: RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a type of nucleic acid that is involved in the process of protein synthesis.

Correct answer: Ribonucleic acid
  • A. Cell-mediated response
  • B. Humoral immune response
  • C. Active immunity
