The normal Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) in a healthy adult is approximately: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The normal Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) in a healthy adult is approximately:
A. 125 ml/min
B. 500 ml/min
C. 75 ml/min
D. 250 ml/min
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is the volume of fluid filtered from the renal glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule per unit time. In a healthy adult, the normal GFR is approximately 125 ml per minute, which amounts to about 180 liters per day. Almost all of this filtrate is reabsorbed, leaving only 1.5 liters of urine.

Question #1
The type of circulatory system in which blood is confined to vessels is called:
A. Lymphatic system
B. Closed circulatory system
C. Open circulatory system
D. Portal system

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In a closed circulatory system (e.g., humans, annelids, cephalopods), blood is always enclosed within vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries) and is distinct from interstitial fluid. Open systems (arthropods, most mollusks) have hemolymph bathing organs in sinuses. The lymphatic system returns fluid to blood. A portal system connects two capillary beds.

Question #2
In a food chain, the first trophic level is always occupied by:
A. Carnivores
B. Producers (Green plants)
C. Decomposers
D. Herbivores

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A food chain represents the flow of energy and nutrients. The first trophic level is always occupied by producers (autotrophs), primarily green plants and algae, which convert solar energy into chemical energy via photosynthesis. The second level is primary consumers (herbivores), the third is secondary consumers (carnivores), and so on.

Question #3
At which level of biological organization does the living state first become evident?
A. Organ level
B. Molecular level
C. Cellular level
D. Tissue level

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The living state and all vital functions first become evident at the cellular level. While macromolecules are present in both living and non-living systems, it is the organized interaction of these molecules within a cell that manifests life. Cells are the fundamental structural and functional units of life.
