The hormone that stimulates the Leydig cells to produce testosterone is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The hormone that stimulates the Leydig cells to produce testosterone is:
A. Inhibin
B. LH
C. GnRH
D. FSH
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Luteinizing hormone (LH) binds to Leydig cells in the testes, stimulating them to produce and secrete testosterone. FSH stimulates Sertoli cells for spermatogenesis. GnRH from hypothalamus stimulates release of LH and FSH.

Question #1
Which of the following is an antibiotic produced by a bacterium?
A. Streptomycin
B. Penicillin
C. Griseofulvin
D. Cephalosporin

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Streptomycin is an antibiotic produced by the bacterium Streptomyces griseus. Penicillin and cephalosporins are from fungi (Penicillium and Cephalosporium). Griseofulvin is a fungal antibiotic. Streptomycin is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside, effective against gram-negative bacteria and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit.

Question #2
Consider statements about human immunity: 1. Colostrum provides passive immunity to infants. 2. Allergies are exaggerated immune responses. 3. Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks self-cells. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Colostrum, the first milk produced by the mother, is rich in IgA antibodies, providing natural passive immunity to the newborn. Allergies (hypersensitivities) occur when the immune system overreacts to harmless environmental antigens (allergens). Autoimmune diseases arise when the immune system loses tolerance and mistakenly attacks the body's own healthy cells and tissues. All statements are correct.

Question #3
Which of the following is a characteristic feature of all living organisms?
A. Photosynthesis
B. Nervous system
C. Cellular respiration
D. Movement

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Cellular respiration is a universal characteristic of living organisms, occurring in every cell to release energy from organic molecules. Movement is not universal (e.g., plants are stationary). Photosynthesis is restricted to autotrophs. A nervous system is absent in plants and simple animals. Thus, cellular respiration is fundamental to all life forms, from bacteria to humans.
