Correct answer: 1
  • A. Enzymes are mostly proteins but some are lipids also
  • B. Enzymes are denatured at high temperatures
  • C. Enzymes are highly specific
  • D. Enzymes require optimum pH and temperature for maximum activity

Explanation: Option A: Enzymes are mostly proteins but some are lipids also: This statement is incorrect.

Correct answer: Enzymes are mostly proteins but some are lipids also
  • A. 1010
  • B. 2010
  • C. 1020
  • D. 1510

Explanation: Yes, enzymes can speed up reactions by factors of up to 1010 (ten billion) or even higher.

Correct answer: 1010
  • A. The primary structure of enzymes
  • B. The secondary structure of enzymes
  • C. Tertiary structure of enzymes
  • D. Quarternary structure of enzymes

Explanation: Tertiary structure of enzymes. Enzyme-substrate specificity arises from the unique three-dimensional shape of the enzyme's active site…

Correct answer: Tertiary structure of enzymes
  • A. Apoenzyme
  • B. Holoenzyme
  • C. Activated enzyme
  • D. Both B and C

Explanation: Correct option is B. The answer is holoenzyme. An enzyme is a protein that catalyzes a chemical reaction.

Correct answer: Holoenzyme
  • A. Thyrotropin
  • B. Corticotropin
  • C. Somatotropin
  • D. Prolactin

Explanation: Gigantism occurs when a child's pituitary gland makes too much growth hormone, which is also known as somatotropin.

Correct answer: Somatotropin
  • A. Thyroid stimulating hormone
  • B. LH
  • C. ACTH
  • D. FSH
  • E. ADH

Explanation: Explanation for this question will be added soon.

Correct answer: ADH
  • A. FSH
  • B. Calcitonin
  • C. Parathyroid hormone
  • D. ADH
  • E. Insulin

Explanation: Explanation for this question will be added soon.

Correct answer: ADH
  • A. Labor pains
  • B. Body temperature
  • C. Insulin production
  • D. Thyroxin release

Explanation: Labor pains are an example of a physiological process controlled through positive feedback, where the response reinforces and amplifies…

Correct answer: Labor pains
  • A. Ovaries
  • B. Hypothalamus
  • C. Pituitary
  • D. Testes

Explanation: Gonadotropins are released by the pituitary gland. Examples include LH, FSH etc.

Correct answer: Pituitary
  • A. Body temperature
  • B. Glucagon production
  • C. Labor contraction
  • D. Parathyroid activity

Explanation: Oxytocin stimulates the muscle contractions that push the baby through the birth canal.

Correct answer: Labor contraction
  • A. Growth Hormone - Somatostatin
  • B. Calcitonin - Parathyroid
  • C. Adrenaline - Noradrenaline
  • D. Insulin - Glucagon

Explanation: A is incorrect because somatostatin inhibits the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland.

Correct answer: Adrenaline - Noradrenaline
  • A. Pituitary gland
  • B. Thyroid gland
  • C. Parathyroid gland
  • D. Mammary gland

Explanation: The pituitary gland is sometimes called the "master" gland of the endocrine system because it controls the functions of many of the other…

Correct answer: Pituitary gland
  • A. Cortisone
  • B. Adrenaline
  • C. Insulin
  • D. Thyroxin

Explanation: The steroids that are made almost exclusively in the adrenal glands are cortisol, 11-deoxycortisol, aldosterone, corticosterone, and…

Correct answer: Cortisone
  • A. ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone)
  • B. Oxytocin
  • C. Glucagon
  • D. Thyroxin

Explanation: ADH is released in response to increased blood osmolality or decreased water content.

Correct answer: ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone)
  • A. Mg2+
  • B. Na+
  • C. K+
