Question #1
Consider statements about environment: 1. Acid rain damages buildings and monuments. 2. Ozone depletion increases UV radiation. 3. Global warming is caused by a decrease in greenhouse gases. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Acid rain, containing sulfuric and nitric acids, corrodes buildings, monuments (like the Taj Mahal), and statues made of limestone and marble. The depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer reduces its ability to absorb harmful ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation, increasing the amount reaching the Earth's surface. Global warming is caused by an increase, not a decrease, in atmospheric greenhouse gases (like CO2 and methane), which trap more heat. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
The scientist who discovered the antibiotic streptomycin was:
A. Louis Pasteur
B. Robert Koch
C. Alexander Fleming
D. Selman Waksman

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Selman Waksman and his team isolated streptomycin from the soil bacterium Streptomyces griseus in 1943. It was the first effective antibiotic against tuberculosis. Fleming discovered penicillin, Pasteur developed rabies vaccine, Koch identified tuberculosis bacillus. Waksman coined the term 'antibiotic'.

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

Correct Answer: Option C


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.
