Consider statements about human anatomy: 1. The biceps is a muscle in the arm. 2. The quadriceps is a muscle in the thigh. 3. The diaphragm separates the thorax and abdomen. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1 and 3 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The biceps brachii is a two-headed muscle located in the upper arm, responsible for flexing the elbow. The quadriceps femoris is a large, four-headed muscle group in the front of the thigh, extending the knee. The diaphragm is a dome-shaped skeletal muscle that forms the floor of the thoracic cavity and the roof of the abdominal cavity, crucial for breathing. All statements are correct.

Question #1
The end product of glycolysis under anaerobic conditions in muscles is:
A. Lactic acid
B. Acetyl CoA
C. Carbon dioxide
D. Ethanol

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
When oxygen is limiting, pyruvate from glycolysis is reduced to lactic acid (lactate) by lactate dehydrogenase, regenerating NAD⁺ to allow glycolysis to continue. In yeast, pyruvate is converted to ethanol and CO₂ (alcoholic fermentation). Muscle cells lack alcohol dehydrogenase.

Question #2
The animal that has a four-chambered stomach for rumination is:
A. Dog
B. Cat
C. Cow
D. Pig

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ruminants like cows, sheep, and goats have a four-chambered stomach (rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum) to digest cellulose via microbial fermentation. Cats and dogs have simple stomachs, pigs are monogastric.

Question #3
Consider statements about microorganisms: 1. Lactobacillus is used in curd formation. 2. Saccharomyces is used in bread making. 3. Aspergillus is used in the production of citric acid. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Lactobacillus is a lactic acid bacterium that ferments lactose in milk, producing lactic acid that coagulates proteins to form curd. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) undergoes anaerobic respiration, producing CO2 gas that causes bread dough to rise. Aspergillus niger, a fungus, is widely used in industrial fermentation for the large-scale production of citric acid. All statements are correct.
