Question #1
The process of converting atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia by microorganisms is called:
A. Nitrification
B. Ammonification
C. Denitrification
D. Nitrogen fixation

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Biological nitrogen fixation, performed by bacteria (Rhizobium, Azotobacter) and cyanobacteria, reduces N₂ to NH₃. Nitrification oxidizes ammonia to nitrates, denitrification returns N₂, ammonification releases ammonia from organic matter.

The technique used to analyze the transcriptome of a cell is:
A. Genomics
B. Metabolomics
C. Transcriptomics
D. Proteomics

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Transcriptomics studies the complete set of RNA transcripts (transcriptome) produced by the genome under specific conditions. It often uses microarrays or RNA-seq. Genomics is DNA, proteomics proteins, metabolomics metabolites.

Question #3
The process by which plants synthesize food using light energy is:
A. Transpiration
B. Chemosynthesis
C. Respiration
D. Photosynthesis

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen. It occurs in chloroplasts. Respiration releases energy from organic molecules. Transpiration is water loss. Chemosynthesis uses chemical energy (by some bacteria).
