DNA replication occurs during __________.

  1. S period

  2. G1 period

  3. G2 period

  4. M phase

  5. G0 period


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

DNA replication occurs during this phase.

A nucleolus originates from a:

  1. Lysosome

  2. Golgi complex

  3. Endoplasmic reticulum

  4. Chromosome

  5. Mitochondria


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Nucleolus originates from chromosome. It contains all the dna of the cell. It is used as instructions to create the building blocks of the cell(proteins). It is often refered to as the brain of the cell as it controlls what goes on. 

Which of the following is known as the sum of constructive processes in body cells?

  1. Catabolism

  2. Anabolism

  3. Translocation

  4. BMR

  5. Metabolism


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is the metabolic breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones, often resulting in a release of energy.

Which of these is not an attribute of an enzyme?

  1. They are proteinaceous.

  2. They accelerate biochemical reactions.

  3. They are used up in the reaction.

  4. They are specific in nature.

  5. Sometimes RNA is also involved as enzymes.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is not true as enzymes are never used up in the reaction. This is the main feature of enzyme working.

Amino groups of surplus amino acids are turned into urea, where is this urea synthesized/

  1. Pancreas

  2. Spleen

  3. Kidneys

  4. Liver

  5. Red blood cells


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ornithine cycle occurs in liver in which urea is synthesized.

A cell increases in volume if external medium is ___________.

  1. isotonic

  2. hypertonic

  3. hypotonic

  4. slightly hypertonic

  5. no matter whether the medium is hypertonic or hypotonic


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

If the water concentration of the cell cytoplasm is lower then that of the medium (i.e., the medium is a hypotonic solution) surrounding the cell then osmosis will result in the cell gaining water.

Metabolic rate can be increased by giving injections of :

  1. Testosterone

  2. Thyroxine

  3. GH

  4. All of these

  5. Aldosterone


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is the hormone secreted by thyroid gland responsible for increasing the BMR.

First stage in utilization of glucose for energy concludes in the formation of, or the link between glycolysis and Kreb's cycle is ____________.

  1. pyruvic acid

  2. acetyl Co A

  3. oaloacetic acid

  4. fumaric acid

  5. malic acid


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Pyruvic acid formed during glycolysis is converted into acetyl Co A,  which enters into kreb's cycle. This reaction is catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme.

Which of the options best defines, a coenzyme?

  1. Fat attached with enzyme.

  2. Carbohydrate that controls enzymatic activity.

  3. A nucleic acid.

  4. An inorganic compound.

  5. A vitamin that acts with an enzyme.


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Coenzyme is a vitamin that acts with an enzyme and enhances its activity.

First reaction in glycolysis is catalyzed by which of the following?

  1. Lactate dehydrogenase

  2. Aldolase

  3. Hexokinase

  4. Phosphofructokinase

  5. Pyruvate kinase


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A hexokinase is an enzyme that phosphorylates hexoses (six-carbon sugars), forming hexose phosphate.

r RNA is formed by __________.

  1. DNA

  2. ATP

  3. t RNA

  4. Gene

  5. Nucleolus


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

DNA forms all types of RNA including ribosomal RNA{r RNA}, transfer RNA and m RNA , by the process called as transcription.

Because most of the amino acids are represented by more than one codon the genetic code is said to be _________.

  1. wobbling

  2. degeneracy

  3. non-overlapping

  4. unamiguous

  5. non degenerate


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

The genetic code is degenerate, i.e., each amino acid can be specified by more than one codon.

At which stage, in a cell, the decision for division occurs?

  1. G1 period.

  2. S period.

  3. G2 phase.

  4. Before prophase.

  5. M phase.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It starts when DNA replication commences.

Which is the common phase in aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

  1. Tricarboxylic acid cycle

  2. Oxidative phosphorylation

  3. Glycolysis

  4. Kreb's cycle

  5. Electron transport chain


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It can occur both in the presence or absence of oxygen.

Our body can use proteins also as energy source. To get energy from proteins its amino acids are deaminated in____________.

  1. liver

  2. lungs

  3. kidneys

  4. muscles

  5. spleen


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Deamination is the removal of an amine group from a molecule. This occurs in liver.

When does the formation of fats begins in the body?

  1. Blood sugar level is constant.

  2. Glucose is converted into glycogen.

  3. Liver and muscles cannot store any more glycogen.

  4. Glucose combines with glycerol.

  5. Formation of fats occurs always in the body.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the case when there is tremendous increase in the amount of blood sugar level. Here first glycogenesis begins and when the capacity of liver and muscles is full then the remaining extra glucose starts getting converted into fat.

In protein synthesis polymerization of amino acids involves three steps. Which step is not involved in it?

  1. Elongation

  2. Transcription

  3. Initiation

  4. Termination

  5. Activation of amino acids


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The formation of RNA from DNA is called as transcription.

Pyruvic acid before combining with oxaloacetic acid of TCA cycle becomes _________.

  1. lactic acid

  2. aceto acetic acid

  3. cis aconitic acid

  4. acetyl coenzyme A

  5. aceto acetyl coenzyme A


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Pyruvic acid formed during glycolysis is converted to acetyl coenzyme A which enters into the kreb's cycle.

A red blood cell kept in a solution for a few minutes happened to burst. What kind of solution was it?

  1. Hypertonic

  2. Hypotonic

  3. Concentrated salt solution

  4. Concentrated sugar solution

  5. Isotonic


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes in its surroundings, so in an attempt to balance concentrations, water will rush into the cell, causing swelling.
