35. Both, haemoglobin and myoglobin require ____ for formation:
[A] Vitamin A
[B] Vitamin B12
[C] Iron
[D] Calcium
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C [Iron]
Notes:
Haemoglobin is called as tetrameric hemoprotein, while myoglobin is called monomeric protein. Haemoglobin is found systematically all over the body, while myo-globin is found in muscles tissues only. The body requires iron for the synthesis of its oxygen transport proteins, in particular hemo-globin and myoglobin.
36. Solitary cymose inflorescence is observed in ____:
[A] Rose
[B] Tuberose
[C] Chinarose
[D] Gardenia
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D [Gardenia]
Notes:
Solitary cymose inflorescence refers to a determinate inflorescence composed of a single flower. Examples include poppy, gardenia (ornamental plant), tulip, etc. Flowers are said to be solitary when the plant bears only one, or when single flowers appear on the ends of lateral branches that are remote from one another.
37. The duration 19-21 days refers to ___:
[A] The period of menstrual cycle soon after menstruation, during which fertilisation is most likely to occur
[B] Incubation period of hens egg
[C] Average life-span of a red blood cell in humans
[D] Period of completion of one schizogony cycle of malarial parasite inside a red blood cell
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [The period of menstrual cycle soon after menstruation, during which fertilisation is most likely to occur]
Notes:
In menstrual cycle 19-21 days stands for the fertilizing period also called danger period. After ovulation on 14th day chances of contraption are at their highest with well developed endometrium for implantation. This is the time in the menstrual cycle when progesterone should be at its peak for the month and when estrogen should be at the height of its luteal plateau.
38. Activity of an enzyme can be modulated by change of
____:
[A] pH
[B] Light
[C] Humidity
[D] Rainfall
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [pH]
Notes:
Changes in pH which can accompany metabolic process such as respiration (aerobic glycolysis for example) can alter the conformation of an enzyme and hence enzyme activity such as salivarya mylase is effective in neutral condition, pepsin in acidic condition l.5 (less than pH 7) and trypsin in basic condition (more than pH 7).
39. In a poultry unit, the factor most influencing the cost is the cost of
____:
[A] Feed
[B] Chicks
[C] Transportation
[D] Medicines
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [Feed]
Notes:
Feed cost is one of the important variable costs that plays a big role in determining the poultry cost. Variable costs rise and fall with the size of the output and the level of the operation. Fixed costs (for items such as taxes, insurance, interest, and depreciation on buildings and equipment), are incurred whether or not there is any output. Moreover the feed of broilers and layers varies with time of their growth.
40. Haemoglobin has highest affinity for ____:
[A] Carbon monoxide
[B] Nitrogen
[C] Oxygen
[D] Carbon dioxide
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C [Oxygen]
Notes:
Haemoglobin is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metaloprotein in the red blood cells. It is responsible for binding oxygen in the lung and transporting the oxygen throughout the body to be used up in aerobic metabolic pathways.
