Assertion (A): The pancreas is a mixed gland. Reason (R): It has exocrine acini secreting enzymes and endocrine islets secreting hormones. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Assertion (A): The pancreas is a mixed gland.
Reason (R): It has exocrine acini secreting enzymes and endocrine islets secreting hormones.
A. A false, R true.
B. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
C. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.
D. A true, R false.
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes (exocrine) and insulin/glucagon (endocrine). The reason correctly defines why it is mixed.

Question #1
Consider the following statements about enzymes:
1. Enzyme activity is affected by pH.
2. All enzymes have an optimum temperature around 37°C.
3. Enzymes are reusable.
Which of the above is/are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1, 2, and 3
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Enzyme activity depends on pH and temperature; they are not consumed (reusable). Optimum temperature varies; human enzymes around 37°C, but bacterial enzymes can be higher. So 2 is not universally true.

Question #2
The term used for organisms that can synthesize their own food from inorganic substances is:
A. Autotrophs
B. Saprotrophs
C. Parasites
D. Heterotrophs

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Autotrophs (self-feeders) include photoautotrophs (plants, algae, cyanobacteria) and chemoautotrophs (some bacteria). They produce organic matter from COâ‚‚. Heterotrophs depend on others, saprotrophs decompose dead matter, parasites live on hosts.

Question #3
The process of introducing DNA into bacterial cells by applying a brief electrical pulse is:
A. Microinjection
B. Electroporation
C. Biolistics
D. Heat shock

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Electroporation uses an electric field to create temporary pores in the cell membrane, allowing DNA to enter. Heat shock is a chemical method using CaClâ‚‚ and temperature shift, microinjection physically injects DNA into cells, biolistics is a gene gun for plant cells. Electroporation is efficient for many cell types.
