Assertion (A): Bile juice contains digestive enzymes. Reason (R): Bile emulsifies fats to aid their digestion. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Assertion (A): Bile juice contains digestive enzymes.
Reason (R): Bile emulsifies fats to aid their digestion.
A. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.
B. A is false, but R is true.
C. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
D. A is true, but R is false.
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Bile does not contain digestive enzymes; it contains bile salts that emulsify fats, increasing surface area for lipase action. Thus, A is false, R is true.

Question #1
In a standard Electrocardiogram (ECG), the 'QRS complex' represents:
A. Atrial repolarization
B. Ventricular repolarization
C. Atrial depolarization
D. Ventricular depolarization

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The QRS complex in an ECG represents the depolarization of the ventricles, which initiates ventricular contraction (systole). The P wave represents atrial depolarization. The T wave represents ventricular repolarization, which leads to ventricular relaxation (diastole). Atrial repolarization is usually masked by the larger QRS complex. Exam tip: P = atrial depolarization; QRS = ventricular depolarization; T = ventricular repolarization.

Question #2
The hormone that stimulates the kidney to reabsorb sodium and water, increasing blood pressure, is:
A. ANP
B. Renin
C. Aldosterone
D. ADH

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Aldosterone, from the adrenal cortex, acts on the distal tubule and collecting duct to increase sodium reabsorption (and water follows) and potassium secretion, raising blood volume and pressure. ADH increases water reabsorption, ANP reduces sodium reabsorption, renin is an enzyme initiating the RAAS.

Question #3
The part of the human ear that converts sound vibrations into neural signals is the:
A. Eardrum
B. Ossicles
C. Auditory nerve
D. Cochlea

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear, contains the organ of Corti with hair cells that transduce mechanical vibrations into electrical impulses. The eardrum and ossicles conduct sound to the cochlea. The auditory nerve transmits impulses to the brain. Thus, transduction occurs in the cochlea.
