Glucose is primarily reabsorbed in which part of the nephron?
A. Loop of Henle
B. Proximal convoluted tubule
C. Collecting duct
D. Distal convoluted tubule
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbs nearly 100% of filtered glucose, amino acids, and vitamins via active and secondary active transport.

Question #1
Consider statements about ecology: 1. Nitrogen fixation is performed by cyanobacteria. 2. Denitrification releases nitrogen gas into the atmosphere. 3. Ammonification converts ammonia to nitrate. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Nitrogen fixation, the conversion of atmospheric N2 to ammonia, is performed by certain bacteria and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). Denitrification is the process where denitrifying bacteria convert nitrates in the soil back into nitrogen gas (N2), returning it to the atmosphere. Ammonification is the decomposition of organic nitrogen into ammonia by microbes; nitrification converts ammonia to nitrate. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
Which of the following is true about blood group O?
A. Has both A and B antigens
B. Has no antibodies
C. Has only A antigens
D. Has anti-A and anti-B antibodies

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Blood group O lacks A and B antigens on red cells but contains both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in plasma. This makes it the universal donor for packed red cells but dangerous plasma donor. Group AB has no antibodies. So, the presence of both antibodies is correct.

Question #3
The term for a sequence of three nucleotides on tRNA that is complementary to an mRNA codon is:
A. Anticodon
B. Promoter
C. Exon
D. Codon

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The anticodon is a triplet of nucleotides on the tRNA molecule that base-pairs with the complementary codon on mRNA during translation, ensuring correct amino acid incorporation. Codons are on mRNA, promoters are DNA sequences for transcription initiation, exons are coding regions in eukaryotic genes.
