Question #1
The enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of ATP in chloroplasts is:
A. PEP carboxylase
B. ATP synthase
C. Rubisco
D. NADP reductase

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
ATP synthase (CF₀-CF₁ complex) uses the proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane to synthesize ATP. Rubisco fixes CO₂, NADP reductase reduces NADP⁺, PEP carboxylase is in C4 plants.

Question #2
The vitamin that is required for the synthesis of clotting factors is:
A. Vitamin E
B. Vitamin A
C. Vitamin K
D. Vitamin C

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Vitamin K is a cofactor for the enzyme γ-glutamyl carboxylase, which adds carboxyl groups to glutamic acid residues in clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X, allowing them to bind calcium and participate in coagulation. Deficiency leads to bleeding tendency.

The process of protein synthesis on ribosomes is called:
A. Transcription
B. Translation
C. Transformation
D. Replication

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Translation is the ribosome-mediated synthesis of a polypeptide chain according to the mRNA template. tRNA molecules bring amino acids, and peptide bonds form. Replication duplicates DNA, transcription synthesizes RNA from DNA, transformation is genetic uptake by bacteria.
