Consider statements about human physiology: 1. The respiratory system exchanges gases. 2. The circulatory system transports blood. 3. The excretory system removes waste. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The respiratory system, primarily the lungs, facilitates the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the blood and the external environment. The circulatory system, centered around the heart and blood vessels, transports blood containing oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body. The excretory system, primarily the kidneys, filters blood to remove metabolic waste products and excess water, excreting them as urine. All statements are correct.

Question #2
Consider statements about nutrition: 1. Kwashiorkor is caused by protein deficiency. 2. Marasmus is caused by overall calorie deficiency. 3. Goiter is caused by iron deficiency. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Kwashiorkor is a severe form of malnutrition caused by inadequate protein intake despite sufficient calorie consumption. Marasmus results from a severe deficiency of both calories and protein, leading to extreme wasting. Goiter is the enlargement of the thyroid gland caused by iodine deficiency, not iron deficiency (which causes anemia). Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

The vitamin that prevents neural tube defects during fetal development is:
A. Folic acid (B₉)
B. Vitamin C
C. Vitamin B₁₂
D. Vitamin B₁

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Folic acid is crucial for DNA synthesis and cell division; deficiency during early pregnancy increases risk of neural tube defects like spina bifida. Supplementation is recommended. B₁ is for carbohydrate metabolism, B₁₂ for nerve function, C for collagen.
