18021. One of the most important molecule found in living organisms is ATP. What is its major function?
- A. Energy source of the cell
- B. Coenzyme
- C. Cofactor
- D. Both Options A and B are correct
Explanation: ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that serves as the primary energy source for most cellular processes.
Correct answer: Both Options A and B are correct- A. 90
- B. 20
- C. 10
- D. 1
- E. None of these
Explanation: Explanation for this question will be added soon.
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 gland18035. Which is a steroid hormone?
- 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+
- D. Ca2+
Explanation: Parathyroid glands play a crucial role in regulating calcium levels in the blood.
Correct answer: Ca2+- A. Centrioles
- B. Asters
- C. Spindles
- D. Cleavage furrows
Explanation: Centrioles are not present in plant cells. Mitotic spindles are microtubule based structures that separate chromosomes during mitosis.
Correct answer: Spindles- A. 25
- B. 50
- C. 100
- D. 125
Explanation: 100 wheat grains will develop from 100 zygotes.100 zygotes mean 100 pollen and 100 eggs are required.
Correct answer: 12518040. The term bivalent means:
- A. Two chromatids
- B. Two chromosomes
- C. Six chromatids
- D. Four chromosomes
