Question #1
The pigment that is essential for vision in low light is:
A. Melanin
B. Iodopsin
C. Rhodopsin
D. Hemoglobin

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Rhodopsin (visual purple) in rod cells of the retina consists of opsin and retinal (derived from vitamin A). It bleaches in light, triggering nerve impulses. It is highly sensitive, enabling night vision. Iodopsin is in cones for color vision.

Question #2
The hormone that stimulates the growth of the thyroid gland and secretion of thyroxine is:
A. Prolactin
B. Growth hormone (GH)
C. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
D. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
TSH, released from the anterior pituitary, binds to receptors on thyroid follicular cells, stimulating the synthesis and release of thyroxine (T₄) and triiodothyronine (T₃). TSH release is regulated by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus and feedback inhibition by thyroid hormones. ACTH stimulates adrenal cortex, GH growth, prolactin milk production.

Question #3
Consider statements about human immunity: 1. IgG is the most abundant antibody in blood. 2. IgE is involved in allergic reactions. 3. IgA is found in mucosal secretions. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most abundant antibody in blood plasma, providing long-term immunity and crossing the placenta. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is present in small amounts and binds to mast cells, triggering the release of histamine during allergic reactions. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is predominantly found in mucosal secretions like saliva, tears, and breast milk, providing localized mucosal immunity. All statements are correct.
