  • 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.
  • 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: Polarity
  • 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 7.45
  • 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.
