The blood group known as the universal donor is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The blood group known as the universal donor is:
A. AB positive
B. O negative
C. A positive
D. B negative
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
O negative blood lacks A, B, and Rh antigens, so it can be transfused to any recipient without causing agglutination, making it the universal donor.

Question #1
Consider statements about photosynthesis: 1. Light reactions occur in the grana. 2. The Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma. 3. Oxygen is released from CO2. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Photosynthesis consists of light-dependent reactions occurring in the thylakoid membranes (grana) where water is split, releasing oxygen, and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occurring in the stroma where CO2 is fixed. The oxygen released during photosynthesis comes from the photolysis of water, not from carbon dioxide. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
The enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of ATP in mitochondria is:
A. Succinate dehydrogenase
B. Citrate synthase
C. Cytochrome oxidase
D. ATP synthase

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
ATP synthase (Complex V) uses the proton gradient generated by the electron transport chain to phosphorylate ADP to ATP. Cytochrome oxidase is Complex IV, succinate dehydrogenase is part of the Krebs cycle and Complex II, citrate synthase is in the Krebs cycle.

Question #3
The water vascular system, tube feet, and radial symmetry are characteristic features of the phylum:
A. Arthropoda
B. Echinodermata
C. Mollusca
D. Hemichordata

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The phylum Echinodermata (spiny-skinned animals like starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers) is uniquely characterized by a water vascular system used for locomotion, capture and transport of food, and respiration. The tube feet are the terminal effectors of this system. They exhibit secondary radial symmetry in adults, though their larvae are bilaterally symmetrical. Mollusks have a muscular foot, and arthropods have jointed appendages.
