Question #1
The 'Hormone Insulin' is a peptide hormone composed of two polypeptide chains, A and B, linked by:
A. Hydrogen bonds
B. Peptide bonds
C. Disulfide bridges
D. Ionic bonds

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by the beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. It is initially synthesized as a single, inactive polypeptide precursor called proinsulin. During processing, a connecting peptide (C-peptide) is removed, leaving two polypeptide chains: the A chain (21 amino acids) and the B chain (30 amino acids). These two chains are held together by two interchain disulfide bridges (covalent bonds between sulfur atoms of cysteine residues), and there is also one intrachain disulfide bridge within the A chain.

The substance that gives skin its pigment and protects against UV radiation is:
A. Elastin
B. Keratin
C. Collagen
D. Melanin

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Melanin, produced by melanocytes in the epidermis, is the primary pigment determining skin, hair, and eye color. It absorbs UV radiation, protecting DNA from damage. Keratin is a structural protein in hair and nails, collagen provides connective tissue strength, elastin elasticity. Albinism results from melanin deficiency.

A. It is located in the nucleus in eukaryotes.
B. It is usually single-stranded.
C. It contains the sugar ribose.
D. Adenine pairs with guanine.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
DNA is primarily located in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It contains deoxyribose (not ribose), is double-stranded, and adenine pairs with thymine. Thus, D is correct.
