Question #2
Consider statements about human nutrition: 1. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy. 2. Proteins are needed for growth and repair. 3. Fats are not needed for any bodily function. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Carbohydrates are the body's primary and most efficient source of energy, broken down into glucose to fuel cellular activities. Proteins are essential macronutrients composed of amino acids, crucial for the growth, maintenance, and repair of body tissues, as well as forming enzymes and hormones. Fats are essential for numerous bodily functions, including providing concentrated energy, forming cell membranes, insulating the body, and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
In genetic code, how many codons code for the amino acid tryptophan?
A. 6
B. 2
C. 1
D. 4

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Tryptophan is encoded by a single codon, UGG. Methionine (AUG) is also encoded by a single codon. The other amino acids have multiple codons (degeneracy). For example, leucine has 6 codons. The single codons for Trp and Met are significant as they are less likely to tolerate mutations.
