The enzyme that converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The enzyme that converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I is:
A. Renin
B. Pepsin
C. Trypsin
D. ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme)
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Renin, released by juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney when blood pressure drops, cleaves angiotensinogen (from liver) to angiotensin I. ACE then converts angiotensin I to the active angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor and stimulator of aldosterone. Pepsin and trypsin are digestive proteases.

Question #1
Which of the following is an example of an X-linked recessive disorder?
A. Hemophilia
B. Down syndrome
C. Sickle cell anemia
D. Cystic fibrosis

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Hemophilia A and B are X-linked recessive disorders caused by mutations in genes for clotting factor VIII or IX on the X chromosome. It predominantly affects males, while females are usually carriers. Down syndrome is an autosomal aneuploidy, cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia are autosomal recessive. X-linked disorders follow a characteristic pattern of inheritance.

Question #2
The amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal expiration is the:
A. Tidal volume
B. Inspiratory reserve volume
C. Residual volume
D. Expiratory reserve volume

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) is the additional air exhaled forcibly after normal exhalation (~1,000–1,200 mL). Tidal volume is normal breath, inspiratory reserve is extra inhaled after normal inhalation, residual volume is air left after maximal exhalation. These are components of lung volumes and capacities.

Question #3
Which of the following plant tissues consists of dead cells with highly thickened, lignified walls and provides the main mechanical support in mature plants?
A. Sclerenchyma
B. Parenchyma
C. Collenchyma
D. Chlorenchyma

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Sclerenchyma is a simple permanent tissue composed of dead cells with extremely thick, lignified, and pitted cell walls. These cells (fibers and sclereids) are narrow, elongated, and provide rigid mechanical strength, allowing plant parts to withstand bending and pressure. Collenchyma provides flexible support in growing parts, and parenchyma is for storage and photosynthesis (chlorenchyma).
