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. A is true, but R is false.
B. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.
C. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
D. A is false, but R is true.
Answer: Option D
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 #2
Consider statements about human physiology: 1. The liver stores glycogen. 2. The spleen filters blood and removes old RBCs. 3. The appendix is essential for digestion. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The liver plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism, storing excess glucose as glycogen and releasing it when blood sugar drops. The spleen acts as a blood filter, removing old, damaged, or abnormal red blood cells and storing platelets. The appendix is a small, blind-ended tube attached to the cecum; it has no significant role in human digestion and is considered a vestigial organ. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
The type of asexual reproduction in yeast where a small outgrowth develops into a new individual is:
A. Binary fission
B. Fragmentation
C. Budding
D. Spore formation

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Budding is an asymmetric division where a new yeast cell forms as a small bud on the parent, eventually pinching off. Binary fission is symmetric splitting (bacteria), fragmentation is breaking into pieces, spore formation involves spores. Budding can occur in some hydra as well.
