  • A. Becomes fast
  • B. Slows down
  • C. Remains same
  • D. None of these

Explanation: A decrease in the number of resources will lead to more competition between the individuals in a population and hence lead to the death of…

Correct answer: Slows down
  • A. 2
  • B. 5
  • C. 8
  • D. More than 10

Explanation: Option A: There are more than 2 compounds in tar that are involved in causing cancer. The actual number is higher.

  • A. Both of them follows
  • B. None of them follows
  • C. Only b follows
  • D. Only a follows

Explanation: Statement a) "He will feel restlessness and anxiety" follows as quitting smoking can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as restlessness and…

Correct answer: Only a follows
  • A. Asthma
  • B. Tuberculosis
  • C. Emphysema
  • D. Both Options A and B are correct

Explanation: Emphysema is a lung condition that causes shortness of breath. In people with emphysema, the air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) are damaged.

Correct answer: Emphysema
  • A. Amnion
  • B. Placenta
  • C. Endometrium
  • D. Uterus

Explanation: The placenta is defined as temporary intimate mechanical and the physiological connection between foetus and maternal tissue for the…

Correct answer: Placenta
  • A. Morulation
  • B. Blastulation
  • C. Gastrulation
  • D. Organogenesis

Explanation: Germ layers that are ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm are formed during gastrulation.

Correct answer: Gastrulation
  • A. Competitive inhibitor binds to active site
  • B. The substrate binds to active site
  • C. Enzymes work best in low pH
  • D. Both competitive inhibitor binding to alternative site & substrate binding to active site

Explanation: Option C is the incorrect one as enzymes work at optimum pH rather than low pH.

Correct answer: Enzymes work best in low pH
  • A. Enzyme is inhibited by the product being produced
  • B. Enzyme works normally for regulatory mechanism
  • C. Enzyme remains unaffected by product concentration
  • D. Enzyme is inhibited irreversibly

Explanation: Feedback regulation of an enzyme occurs when a product of the reaction binds to an allosteric site on the enzyme and affects its catalytic…

Correct answer: Enzyme is inhibited by the product being produced
  • A. Activator
  • B. Inhibitor
  • C. Substrate
  • D. Both A and B

Explanation: Enzymes can be regulated by other molecules that either increase or reduce their activity.

Correct answer: Both A and B
  • A. Malonate act as inhibitor
  • B. Enzyme shape distorted
  • C. Competition for active site
  • D. Inactive enzyme gettlng reactivated

Explanation: A noncompetitive inhibitor binds to the enzyme away from the active site, altering the shape of the enzyme so that even if the substrate…

Correct answer: Enzyme shape distorted
  • A. Allosteric site
  • B. Active site
  • C. Passive site
  • D. Regulatory site

Explanation: Non-competitive inhibitors bind to enzymes at allosteric sites, which are distinct from the active site.

Correct answer: Allosteric site
  • A. Competitive inhibitors
  • B. Non-competitive inhibitors
  • C. Co-enzymes
  • D. Activators

Explanation: Enzymes' productivity is reduced by blocking the active site due to similar shapes, is associated with "competitive inhibitors."…

Correct answer: Competitive inhibitors
  • A. Increases enzyme activity
  • B. Doesn't change enzyme activity
  • C. Decreases enzyme activity
  • D. None of these

Explanation: An enzyme inhibitor is a molecule that binds to an enzyme and blocks its activity.

Correct answer: Decreases enzyme activity
  • A. Creatinine
  • B. Ammonia
  • C. Urea
  • D. Uric acid

Explanation: Excretion is the removal of chemical waste from the body produced by metabolic processes within cells.

Correct answer: Uric acid
  • A. Photosynthesis
  • B. Ingesiton
  • C. Assimilation
  • D. Deamination

Explanation: Nitrogenous wastes are produced as a result of "deamination". The breakdown of amino acids releases nitrogen-containing amine groups…

Correct answer: Deamination

18136. Humans are:

  • A. Ammonotelic
  • B. Ureotelic
  • C. Uricotelic
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Different ways of excreting 1 gram of nitrogen require different amounts of water so they are useful for different kinds of animals.

Correct answer: Ureotelic
  • A. Detoxifies many chemical poisons
  • B. Breaks down ammonia for excretion by the kidneys
  • C. Produces urea and uric acids from the nitrogen of amino acids
  • D. All of the above

Explanation: The liver is an organ that comes into play after consumption of alcohol, as you can remember excess alcohol consumption can result in…
