Question #1
Which of the following is a defining characteristic of living organisms that distinguishes them from non-living matter?
A. Ability to undergo crystallization
B. Metabolic activity
C. Possession of mass
D. Electrical conductivity

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Metabolism, comprising anabolism and catabolism, is a universal feature of all living cells. Non-living objects may possess mass, crystallize, or conduct electricity, but they lack metabolic processes. Metabolism involves enzyme-catalyzed biochemical reactions that sustain life. Thus, metabolic activity is a definitive characteristic of life.

Question #2
Consider statements about microorganisms: 1. Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms. 2. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms. 3. Viruses have a cellular structure. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotic organisms, characterized by the absence of a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms, possessing a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, and can be unicellular (yeasts) or multicellular (molds, mushrooms). Viruses are acellular, non-cellular entities; they consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat (capsid) and lack any cellular structure or metabolic machinery. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

A. Estrogen
B. Oxytocin
C. Prolactin
D. Progesterone
