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

The enzyme that converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I is:
A. Pepsin
B. Renin
C. Trypsin
D. ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme)
Answer: Option B
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
The enzyme that unwinds the DNA double helix during replication is:
A. Helicase
B. Topoisomerase
C. Ligase
D. DNA polymerase

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Helicase uses ATP to separate the hydrogen-bonded base pairs, creating the replication fork. Topoisomerase relieves supercoiling ahead of the fork. DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA, ligase joins fragments. Helicase is essential for strand separation and replication initiation.

D. Culex mosquito

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Dengue is transmitted by Aedes aegypti, which also spreads chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever. Anopheles transmits malaria, Culex filariasis, tsetse sleeping sickness.

Question #3
The process of physical and chemical breakdown of food into absorbable form is:
A. Digestion
B. Egestion
C. Assimilation
D. Absorption

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Digestion converts complex, insoluble food molecules into simple, soluble forms that can be absorbed. It involves mechanical action (chewing, churning) and enzymatic hydrolysis. Absorption is the uptake of nutrients, assimilation is incorporation into body tissues, egestion is elimination of undigested waste.
