Consider statements about vitamins: 1. Vitamin A is essential for vision. 2. Vitamin B complex helps in energy metabolism. 3. Vitamin C is essential for blood clotting. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about vitamins: 1. Vitamin A is essential for vision. 2. Vitamin B complex helps in energy metabolism. 3. Vitamin C is essential for blood clotting. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 3 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Vitamin A (retinol) is crucial for maintaining healthy vision, particularly in dim light, as it is a component of the visual pigment rhodopsin. The B-complex vitamins (like B1, B2, B3, B5) act as coenzymes and are essential for various metabolic pathways, particularly the conversion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into usable energy. Vitamin K, not Vitamin C, is essential for the synthesis of blood clotting factors; Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis and immunity. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #1
Which of the following is an example of a non-living thing that can grow by accretion?
A. Coral reef
B. Mushroom
C. Mango tree
D. Bacteria

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Coral reefs grow by accumulation of calcium carbonate skeletons secreted by living coral polyps, but the reef structure itself is non-living. It increases in mass externally (accretion). Mushrooms, mango trees, and bacteria exhibit intrinsic growth by cell division, characteristic of living organisms. Thus, coral reef growth is non-living accumulation.

Which of the following is a correct statement about a typical bacterium?
A. It has a nuclear membrane.
B. It contains mitochondria.
C. Its DNA is circular and located in the nucleoid.
D. It has linear chromosomes.

Correct Answer: Option C
