In a standard Electrocardiogram (ECG), the 'QRS complex' represents: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In a standard Electrocardiogram (ECG), the 'QRS complex' represents:
A. Ventricular repolarization
B. Ventricular depolarization
C. Atrial repolarization
D. Atrial depolarization
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The QRS complex in an ECG represents the depolarization of the ventricles, which initiates ventricular contraction (systole). The P wave represents atrial depolarization. The T wave represents ventricular repolarization, which leads to ventricular relaxation (diastole). Atrial repolarization is usually masked by the larger QRS complex. Exam tip: P = atrial depolarization; QRS = ventricular depolarization; T = ventricular repolarization.

Question #1
The organ that stores urine before excretion is the:
A. Urethra
B. Urinary bladder
C. Ureter
D. Kidney

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The urinary bladder is a muscular sac that temporarily stores urine received from the kidneys via the ureters, until micturition. The urethra drains urine to the exterior.

Question #2
The pore through which pollen tube enters the ovule is the:
A. Funicle
B. Hilum
C. Chalaza
D. Micropyle

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The micropyle is a small opening in the integuments of the ovule through which the pollen tube usually enters to deliver sperm cells for fertilization (porogamy). The chalaza is the opposite end, funicle is the stalk, hilum is the point of attachment. The micropyle also allows water entry during germination.

Question #3
Which of the following is a viral disease that primarily attacks the immune system, specifically the CD4+ T helper cells?
A. Herpes Simplex
B. Influenza
C. HIV (AIDS)
D. Hepatitis B

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the causative agent of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), is a retrovirus that specifically targets and destroys CD4+ T helper cells, which are crucial for coordinating the adaptive immune response. As the CD4+ count drops, the immune system becomes severely compromised, leading to opportunistic infections and certain cancers. Hepatitis B targets the liver, Herpes causes lesions, and Influenza targets the respiratory tract.
