A. Duodenum
B. Liver
C. Pancreas
D. Gall bladder
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The gall bladder is a small sac under the liver that stores and concentrates bile produced by the liver, releasing it into the duodenum when needed for fat digestion. The liver makes bile, pancreas produces digestive enzymes, duodenum is the entry point.

Question #1
The functional region of an antibody that binds to an antigen is called the:
A. Fc region
B. Variable region
C. Disulfide bridge
D. Constant region

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The variable (V) region at the tips of the antibody Y-shape contains the antigen-binding site, which is specific to a particular antigen. The constant region determines the class (IgG, IgM, etc.) and effector functions. The Fc region binds to immune cell receptors. Variability in the V region is generated by gene rearrangement, allowing immense antibody diversity.

Question #2
The Miller-Urey experiment simulated the primitive Earth's atmosphere. The mixture of gases used in the experiment was:
A. CO2, NH3, H2O, and O2
B. CH4, NH3, H2, and H2O (vapor)
C. CO2, N2, H2O, and O2
D. CH4, CO2, N2, and H2O

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In 1953, Stanley Miller and Harold Urey conducted an experiment to test the Oparin-Haldane hypothesis of chemical evolution. They simulated the reducing atmosphere of primitive Earth, which they believed lacked free oxygen. The gas mixture used was methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), hydrogen (H2), and water vapor (H2O). By applying electrical sparks (simulating lightning), they successfully synthesized amino acids and other organic compounds.

Question #3
The hormone that stimulates the reabsorption of sodium and water in the kidney is:
A. Renin
B. Natriuretic peptide
C. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
D. Aldosterone

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Aldosterone, secreted by the adrenal cortex, increases sodium reabsorption (and water follows) and potassium secretion in the distal tubule and collecting duct. ADH increases water reabsorption only. Renin is an enzyme, natriuretic peptides inhibit sodium reabsorption.
