  • A. 30oC
  • B. 40oC
  • C. 50oC
  • D. 20oC

Explanation: Enzymes generally have an optimal temperature at which they exhibit their highest activity.

Correct answer: 40oC
  • A. Enzymes start to denature
  • B. Enzymes start to re-nature
  • C. Enzymes work best
  • D. Enzymes are reactivated

Explanation: The term "maximum temperature" means the point at which enzymes start to denature (Option A).

Correct answer: Enzymes start to denature
  • A. Maximum temperature
  • B. Absolute temperature
  • C. Critical temperature
  • D. Optimum temperature

Explanation: Enzymes are biological catalyst, which are used to speed up the rate of chemical reactions taking place in body.

Correct answer: Optimum temperature
  • A. It increases the enzyme activity
  • B. Stops the reaction
  • C. Decreases the enzyme activity
  • D. Both Options B and C are correct

Explanation: is temperature of a reaction medium increases above the optimum temperature then it stops reaction by decreasing enzyme activity because…

Correct answer: Both Options B and C are correct
  • A. Denaturation
  • B. Composition
  • C. Inhibition
  • D. Saturation

Explanation: Saturation refers to the point in an enzymatic reaction where all of the enzyme's active sites are occupied by substrate molecules…

Correct answer: Saturation
  • A. O2
  • B. CO2
  • C. CO
  • D. H2

Explanation: The Bohr effect describes hemoglobin's lower affinity for oxygen secondary to increases in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide and/or…

Correct answer: O2
  • A. Blood buffer
  • B. Neutralization of H2CO3 by Na2CO3
  • C. Absorption by leukocytes
  • D. Non-accumulation

Explanation: During the transport of carbon dioxide, the blood does not become acidic due to the presence of buffering systems in the blood.When carbon…

Correct answer: Blood buffer
  • A. Blood buffer
  • B. Neutralization of H2CO3 by Na2CO3
  • C. Absorption by leukocytes
  • D. Non-accumulation

Explanation: Option A: Although much COz is carried-in blood, blood does not become acidic.

Correct answer: Blood buffer
  • A. 15 ml/100 ml of blood
  • B. 19.6 ml/100 ml of blood
  • C. 20.1 ml/100 ml of blood
  • D. 200 ml/100 ml of blood

Explanation: In 100 ml of blood, there is about 15 g of Hb, so 100 ml of blood has the capacity to bind 19.6ml of oxygen.

Correct answer: 19.6 ml/100 ml of blood
  • A. Leptotene
  • B. Pachytene
  • C. Diplotene
  • D. Zygotene

Explanation: Leptotene is the first stage of the prophase of meiosis, during which each chromosome becomes visible as two fine threads.

Correct answer: Pachytene
  • A. Gamete formation
  • B. Recombination during cell division
  • C. Production of enzymes during cell division
  • D. Chromosomal movement towards pole

Explanation: The synaptonemal complex plays a crucial role in several processes related to cell division, particularly during meiosis, which is the…

Correct answer: Recombination during cell division
  • A. Replication
  • B. Recombination
  • C. Gene mapping
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Option A: Replication refers to the process of DNA replication that occurs before cell division.

Correct answer: Gene mapping
  • A. Gastrin
  • B. Secretin
  • C. Insulin
  • D. Lipids

Explanation: Hepatic and Pancreatic secretions are also stimulated by a hormone called secretin, which is produced by the intestinal mucosa on the…

  • B. Piles
  • C. Food poisoning
  • D. Peptic ulcer
  • E. Dyspepsia

Explanation: Explanation for this question will be added soon.

Correct answer: Peptic ulcer
  • A. Monosaccharide form
  • B. Oligosaccharide form
  • C. Polysaccharide form
  • D. All given options

Explanation: Amylase is found in saliva and breaks starch into maltose and dextrin, an oligosaccharide.

Correct answer: Oligosaccharide form
  • A. 3
  • B. 7
  • C. 8
  • D. 12
  • E. 13

Explanation: In the mouth, as the chewing begins, saliva is released which has the amylase enzyme. The amylase starts breaking down starch to maltose.

Correct answer: 3
