Question #1
Assertion (A): Bile juice contains digestive enzymes.
Reason (R): Bile emulsifies fats to aid their digestion.
A. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
B. A is true, but R is false.
C. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.
D. A is false, but R is true.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Bile does not contain digestive enzymes; it contains bile salts that emulsify fats, increasing surface area for lipase action. Thus, A is false, R is true.

Question #2
The 'Bundle of His' and 'Purkinje fibers' are specialized structures found in the:
A. Kidneys
B. Heart
C. Lungs
D. Brain

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The Bundle of His and Purkinje fibers are part of the electrical conduction system of the heart. The Bundle of His carries the electrical impulse from the atrioventricular (AV) node down the interventricular septum. It then divides into right and left bundle branches, which terminate in the Purkinje fibers. These fibers rapidly distribute the impulse throughout the ventricular myocardium, ensuring coordinated ventricular contraction.

Question #3
Eutrophication in a water body leads to:
A. Increased oxygen levels
B. Decreased nutrient levels
C. Algal blooms and hypoxia
D. Increased biodiversity

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Eutrophication is the excessive enrichment of water bodies with nutrients (primarily nitrates and phosphates from fertilizers and sewage). This leads to rapid growth of algae, known as an algal bloom. When the algae die, their decomposition by bacteria consumes large amounts of dissolved oxygen, leading to hypoxia (low oxygen levels) or anoxia, causing the death of fish and other aquatic organisms.
