Consider statements about human nutrition: 1. Carbohydrates are the primary energy source. 2. Proteins are made of fatty acids. 3. Vitamins are required in large quantities. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about human nutrition: 1. Carbohydrates are the primary energy source. 2. Proteins are made of fatty acids. 3. Vitamins are required in large quantities. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Carbohydrates are the main and most readily available source of energy for cellular processes. Proteins are polymers of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, not fatty acids, which are components of lipids. Vitamins are micronutrients required in very small (trace) quantities for normal metabolism, unlike macronutrients. Therefore, only statement 1 is correct.

Question #1
The type of epithelial tissue that lines the urinary bladder and allows stretching is:
A. Stratified squamous
B. Columnar epithelium
C. Simple squamous
D. Transitional epithelium

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Transitional epithelium (urothelium) is stratified, with cells that can change shape from cuboidal to squamous when the bladder distends. It lines the renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, and part of the urethra. Squamous is flat, cuboidal cube-shaped, columnar tall.

Question #2
Which of the following statements about the brain is correct?
A. The hypothalamus is responsible for intelligence.
B. The cerebellum controls speech and memory.
C. The medulla oblongata regulates heart rate.
D. The cerebrum controls body temperature and hunger.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The medulla oblongata contains centers for heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure. Hypothalamus controls temperature and hunger, cerebrum intelligence and memory, cerebellum coordination.

Question #3
Consider statements about plant biology: 1. Xylem transports water. 2. Phloem transports food. 3. Cambium is responsible for primary growth. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Xylem is the vascular tissue responsible for the unidirectional upward transport of water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the aerial parts of the plant. Phloem is the vascular tissue responsible for the translocation of organic nutrients (primarily sucrose) from sources to sinks, which can be bidirectional. Cambium (vascular and cork) is a lateral meristem responsible for secondary growth (increase in girth); primary growth (increase in length) is driven by apical meristems. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
