- A. Solid
- B. Semisolid
- C. Fluid
- D. Liquid
Explanation: The model suggests that phospholipids are able to diffuse in their layers and the proteins of the membrane appear to give a mosaic…
Correct answer: Semisolid- A. Active transport
- B. Passive transport
- C. Osmosis
- D. Diffusion
Explanation: Active transport is a mode of cellular transport that requires energy to move molecules or ions against their concentration gradient, from…
Correct answer: Active transport- A. Spondylosis
- B. Arthritis
- C. Sciatica
- D. Osteoporosis
- E. Rickets
Explanation: Explanation for this question will be added soon.
Correct answer: Spondylosis- A. Rheumatoid Arthritis
- B. Osteoarthritis
- C. Gouty arthritis
- D. Osteomyelitis
Explanation: The correct answer is osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone, not an inflammatory arthritis.
Correct answer: Osteomyelitis- A. Bed rest
- B. Exercise
- C. Cast
- D. None of these
Explanation: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. Some people call it degenerative joint disease or "wear and tear" arthritis.
Correct answer: Exercise- A. Hypertonic
- B. Hypotonic
- C. Isotonic
- D. Heterotonic
Explanation: In isotonic conditions, water potential is the same as in cell sap, solute concentration is also the same as in cell sap.
Correct answer: Isotonic- A. Less water leaves the cell than enters it, so the cell shrinks.
- B. More water enters the cell than leaves it, so the cell swells and bursts.
- C. Water enters the cells and none leaves it, so the cell swells and bursts.
- D. Water enters the cell and more leaves it, so the cell shrinks.
Explanation: b) More water enters the cell than leaves it, so the cell swells and bursts:This option is partially correct.
Correct answer: More water enters the cell than leaves it, so the cell swells and bursts.17948. Water is a solvent due to:
- A. Surface tension
- B. Polarity
- C. Heat capacity
- D. Viscosity
Explanation: Water is a good solvent because of its polarity and ability to form hydrogen bonds.
Correct answer: Polarity17949. The pH of human blood is:
- A. 7.45 to 7.55
- B. 7.35 to 7.45
- C. 7.15 to 7.25
- D. 7.25 to 7.35
Explanation: Blood is normally slightly basic, with a normal pH range of about 7.35 to 7.45. Usually the body maintains the pH of blood close to 7.40.
Correct answer: 7.35 to 7.4517950. Thermal stability of organisms in the environment is because of which characteristic of water?
- A. Solvent property
- B. Heat capacity
- C. Ionization
- D. Protection
Explanation: Water can absorb and retain heat, which helps stabilize the temperature in living organisms.
Correct answer: Heat capacity- A. Specific Heat Capacity
- B. Hydrogen Bonding
- C. Cohesion and Adhesion
- D. Hydrophobic exclusion
Explanation: If you place a few drops of oil on the surface of a water solution, the oil drops will tend to coalesce (to unite into one whole) into a…
Correct answer: Hydrophobic exclusion- A. Heat of vaporization
- B. Hydrogen bonding
- C. High polarity
- D. Cohesion and adhesion
Explanation: Water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid.
Correct answer: High polarity- A. Dipole nature
- B. High specific heat of vaporization
- C. High specific heat capacity
- D. Its liquid state
Explanation: Due to high specific heat capacity, water does not heat up easily and does not loose heat easily, as a result the temperature remains…
Correct answer: High specific heat capacity- A. Inositides
- B. Lipoproteins
- C. Liposomes
- D. Drugoles
Explanation: Liposomes are lipid vesicles that are used as a drug delivery system. They are made up of a phospholipid bilayer and can encapsulate both…
Correct answer: Liposomes- A. Pluripotent stem cells
- B. Blood stem cells
- C. Cord blood stem cells
- D. Both a and b
Explanation: The umbilical cord is a flexible cord-like structure that connects a developing fetus to the placenta in the mother's womb.
Correct answer: Cord blood stem cells- A. Chickenpox
- B. Smallpox
- C. Avian pox
- D. Cowpox
Explanation: Edward Jenner inoculated humans with cowpox pus. The basis for vaccination began in 1796 when the English doctor Edward Jenner noticed…
Correct answer: Cowpox- A. 10-15 degrees
- B. 25-30 degrees
- C. 25-35 degrees
- D. 25-40 degrees
Explanation: Ethanol is prepared industrially by a process called fermentation, which occurs in the presence of certain enzymes and under optimum…
Correct answer: 25-35 degrees- A. Transduction
- B. Transformation
- C. Binary fission
- D. Conjugation
Explanation: Option B is correct since the transformation is the process of transmitting genetic information from one bacterium to another bacterium…
Correct answer: Transformation- A. HBV
- B. HAV
- C. HCV
- D. Options A and B are correct
Explanation: Option (d) suggests that both the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the Hepatitis A virus (HAV) have genetically engineered vaccines available.
Correct answer: Options A and B are correct- A. Antiseptic
