Which of the following is known as building blocks of the body?

  1. Proteins

  2. Carbohydrates

  3. Fats

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A- Human body is majorly composed of proteins, which is important for our existence. Proteins are the main constituents of skin, muscles, organs, bones and nails.

Which statement is correct for biomolecules

  1. DNA is a polymer of ribonucleotides

  2. All carbohydrates break down into glucose

  3. RNA is single stranded and contain different purine

    base than DNA

  4. Sequence of amino acids determine primary structure

    of proteins


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The shape, size, structure and biological functions of proteins are determined by the number, type and arrangement of amino acids.

Signaling between cells usually results in the activation of protein

  1. Lipases

  2. Kinases

  3. Proteases

  4. Nucleases


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

One of the important mechanisms of cell communication is through reversible phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins. These reactions are catalysed by kinases and occur through a cascade mechanism.

Most abundant protein in the human body is

  1. Haemoglobin

  2. Keratin

  3. Collagen

  4. Immunoglobulin


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the animal world which accounts for 30% of total protein content in the human body. Collagen is a key constituent of all the connective tissues. It is found in joints, bones, skin, hair, etc. This protein helps the skin to move, stretch and rebound into shape. It is present throughout the body and keeps the cells together. Without collagen the body would fall apart into pieces. 

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

The protein encoded by cry | Ab controls:

  1. Tobacco Budworm

  2. Corn Borer

  3. Bollworm

  4. Army worm


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Bt toxin is encoded by a gene named cry. The protein encode by cry IAb control corn borers.The protein encoded by the genes cry I Ac and cry II Ab control the cotton boll worms.

  • Thus, the correct answer is 'Corn Borer'.

Protein are needed in diet because 

  1. All amino acids are not available in body

  2. During fasting body utilized proteins

  3. Proteins act as building blocks of our body

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D

The protein required for the transport of galactose across the cell membrane in E. coli is 

  1. Allolactase

  2. $\beta$-galactosidase

  3. Galactose permease

  4. Transcriptase


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The numerous permeases that belong to ABC superfamily of proteins is present in number of bacterial cell. The ATP is hydrolysed by these proteins  to transport specific amino acids, sugars, vitamins, or even peptides into the cells. One such permease is galactose permease, which is responsible for transportation of galactose.

Functions that are not normally performed by proteins is/are

  1. Hydrolysis for energy provision.

  2. Structural integrity of the cell.

  3. Regulation of metabolism.

  4. Defense mechanisms.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Proteins are the most important and versatile biomolecules in living systems. They are involved in general body-building, catalytic role as enzymes, and body defence in immunological reactions. Energy currency of living systems are usually nucleotides like ATP. They are hydrolysed to provide energy as and when required.

Proteins is related to .......... of human body.

  1. Fats

  2. Carbohydrates

  3. Proteins

  4. All


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Proteomics is the cataloging and analyzing every protein in the human body most proteins differ in their folding manner .

Identify the incorrect match between the protein and its role.

  1. Keratin structural component of hair

  2. Immunoglobulins protection of body against diseases

  3. Haemoglobin transport of $O _2$ in muscles

  4. Thrombin blood clotting


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
The pigmented proteins in the muscle fibers which impart the red color to the muscles is called myoglobin. This protein is involved in the process of oxygen storage in the muscle tissues by binding to it. In conditions such as hypoxia oxygen is released by the myoglobin. Hence it is the oxygen trasnsporter to the muscle fibers. Thus the correct answer is option C. 

Nails, hair and feathers are made of

  1. Albumin

  2. Keratin

  3. Collagen

  4. Elastin


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Keratin is a simple fibrous protein, which is made up of only amino acids. It forms external protective structures of animals like hair, feathers, nails, horny layer of skin. Thus, the correct answer is B.

Besides having C, H, O which of the following also contains
N, S, p etc.

  1. Protein

  2. Fat

  3. Carbohydrate

  4. Vitamin


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Proteins are large molecules of high molecular weight containing C, H, O and nitrogen (N) . The presence of N distinguishes them from carbohydrate and fat. Iron, copper, iodine, sulphur and phosphorus may also be present in a very low proportion. Proteins are found in fish, meat, egg, wheat, bean, ground-nut and pulses.

What is common among amylase, rennin and trypsin?

  1. All proteins

  2. Proteolytic enzymes

  3. Produced in stomach

  4. Act at pH lower than 7


Correct Option: A

Average kilocalories energy needed by a woman is

  1. Less than man

  2. More than man

  3. Equal to man

  4. Cannot be predicted


Correct Option: A

End product of protein digestion is

  1. Sugar

  2. Nucleotide

  3. Glucose

  4. Amino acid


Correct Option: D

Which one matches with protein digestion

  1. Lipase, secretin, erepsin, casein

  2. Pepsin, lactase, casein, erepsin

  3. Erepsin, amylase, pepsin, casein

  4. Erepsin, trypsin, pepsin, rennin


Correct Option: D

The enzymes at location X and Y are respectively

  1. $Proteins \overset{'X'}{\rightarrow} Proteoses + Peptoses \overset{'Y'}{\rightarrow} Dipeptides$

  2. Chymotrypsin and pepsin

  3. Pepsin and trypsin

  4. Ptyalin and pepsinTrypsin and dipeptidase


Correct Option: B


The following is a storage protein

  1. Keratin

  2. Collagen

  3. Glutelin

  4. Haemoglobin


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A) Keratin is the protein that is the structural material making up hair, horns, claws, hooves and the outer layer of human skin.

B) Collagen is the building block of the entire body, from the skin to the gut.
C) Glutelin is the storage protein that is found in the species of grass family commonly known as gluten.
D) Haemoglobin is a blood protein that helps in the transport of oxygen.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Glutelin'.

The ratio of $H _1$ and $H _3$ proteins in chromatin is?

  1. $1:2$

  2. $2:1$

  3. $1:1$

  4. $1:4$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • Histones are a family of basic proteins that associate with DNA in the nucleus and help condense it into chromatin, they are alkaline (basic pH) proteins, and their positive charges allow them to associate with DNA.
  • Five types of histones have been identified: H1 (or H5), H2A, H2B, H3 and H4.
  • The core histones are H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, and the linker histones are H1 and H5. These types of histones are smaller, each consisting of 100-150 residues.
  • H1 and its homologous protein H5 are involved in higher-order structures of chromatin consisting about 220 residues.
  • The ratio of H1 and H3 proteins in chromatin is 1:2
So, the correct option is '1:2'
