What is the role of iron in blood?

  1. It helps to transport oxygen.

  2. It helps transport nutrients.

  3. It gives the red colour to the blood.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  •  Iron is an essential element for blood production. 
  • About 70 per cent of your body's iron is found in the red blood cells of your blood called haemoglobin and in muscle cells called myoglobin.
  •  Haemoglobin is essential for transferring oxygen in your blood from the lungs to the tissues. Hence, the role of iron in the blood is that it helps to transport oxygen. 
So, the correct answer is 'It helps to transport oxygen'.

Which of the following helps to cure anaemia?

  1. Jaggery

  2. Amla

  3. Green vegetables

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • Anaemia is a condition in which the blood doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells. 
  • The major causes are iron deficiency (low-level iron) anaemia and thalassemia (inherited disorders of haemoglobin).  
  • Iron-rich foods include peanuts, jaggery chikkis, almonds, walnuts, soy nuts and raisins, amla and green vegetables helps to prevent anaemia. 
  • Hence, jaggery, amla and green vegetables help to cure anaemia. 
  • So, the correct answer is 'all the above'.

Identify the symptoms of anaemia.

  1. Headache

  2. Weakness

  3. Loss of appetite

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • Anaemia is a condition in which the blood doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells. 
  • The major causes are iron deficiency (low-level iron) anaemia and thalassemia (inherited disorders of haemoglobin).  
  • Symptoms of anaemia: pale skin., fatigue., weakness., tiring easily., breathlessness, drop in blood pressure when standing from a sitting or lying position (orthostatic hypotension) this may happen after acute blood loss, like a heavy period., frequent headaches.
  •  Hence, the symptoms of anaemia are a weakness.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Weakness'.

Examination of blood of a person suspected of having anaemia shows large, immature, nucleated erythrocytes without haemoglobin. Supplementing his diet with which of the following is likely to alleviate his symptoms?

  1. Iron compounds

  2. Thiamine

Anaemia is a common health problem especially in women. Which one of the following deficiencies is most frequently responsible for anaemia in India?

  1. Calcium

  2. Iron

  3. Iodine

  4. Zinc


Correct Option: B

Identify the vitamin which helps to cure anaemia.

  1. Vitamin A

  2. Vitamin B12

  3. Vitamin K

  4. Vitamin E


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • Vitamin B-12 is a water-soluble vitamin, like all other B-vitamins. This means it can dissolve in water and travel through the bloodstream. 
  • The human body can store vitamin B-12 for up to four years. Any excess or unwanted vitamin B-12 is excreted in the urine. 
  • The human body produces millions of red blood cells every minute. These cells cannot multiply properly without vitamin B-12. The production of red blood cells reduces if vitamin B-12 levels are too low. Anaemia can occur if the red blood cell count drops. Hence, Vitamin B12 helps to cure anaemia. 
 So, the correct answer is 'Vitamin B12'.

Which of the following is a source of iron?

  1. Green vegetables

Assertion    : Blood sugar level falls rapidly after
                      hepatedomy.

Reason     :  The glycogen of the liver is the principal
                     source of blood sugar.

  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason

    is a correct explanation of the assertion

  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is

    not a correct explanation of the assertion

  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false

  4. If both the assertion and reason are false

  5. If the assertion is false but reason is true


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In liver , glycogen a reserve food material is changed  into glucose (glycogenolysis ) and released into blood.  Under abnormal condition ,liver can convert proteins and fats into glucose by complex chemical reactions i.e., called gluconeogenesis. Thus, due to hepatectomy blood sugar level falls rapidly.

There is less iron in the blood of the person suffering from anaemia.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Anaemia is a decrease in the total amount of red blood cells (RBCs) or haemoglobin in the blood or a lowered ability of the blood to carry oxygen.
  • When anaemia comes on slowly, the symptoms may include feeling tired, weakness, shortness of breath or a poor ability to exercise. Hence, There is less iron in the blood of the person suffers from anaemia.

Anaemia can be diagnosed by the

  1. Shape and size of RBC only

  2. Number of platelets only

  3. Size and shape of WBC only

  4. Number of WBC only


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  •  To diagnose anaemia, your doctor may ask you about your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, and run the following tests: Complete blood count (CBC) or Red cell distribution width (RDW).
  •   A CBC is used to count the number of blood cells in a sample of your blood.
  • Red cell distribution width (RDW) is also the test to diagnose anaemia. For instance, you'll probably have greater differences in red blood cell size if you have anaemia in these test.
  • Hence, Anaemia can be diagnosed by the shape and size of RBC only.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Shape and size of RBC only'.

Vegetables are good source of iron.

  1. True

  • For example, 100 grams of spinach contains 1.1 times more iron than the same amount of red meat and 2.2 times more than 100 grams of salmon (26, 27).
  • Hence Vegetables are a good source of iron is a true statement.

Why foods derived from genetically modified crops required to be tested for possible allergic reactions in people?

  1. They may cause allergies due to release of new kind of proteins.

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The process of creating a GM crop can produce many changes in the natural functioning of the plant's genome. Native genes can be mutated, deleted, permanently turned on or off and may change their levels of protein expression. This increasing the levels of an existing protein or even producing a completely new and unknown protein within the crop can act as an allergen in consumers. Hence, foods derived from genetically modified crops are required to be tested for possible allergic reactions in people.

Allergic reaction occur due to release of 

  1. Hormones

  2. Histamines

  3. Enzymes

  4. Lysozymes
