The protein responsible for muscle contraction are:
A. Hemoglobin and insulin
B. Actin and myosin
C. Collagen and elastin
D. Keratin and melanin
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Actin (thin) and myosin (thick) filaments slide past each other during contraction, powered by ATP. Collagen is structural, hemoglobin transports oxygen.

Question #1
The functional unit of the kidney is:
A. Nephron
B. Alveolus
C. Villus
D. Neuron

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Each kidney contains about one million nephrons, each consisting of a renal corpuscle (glomerulus + Bowman's capsule) and tubules (PCT, loop of Henle, DCT).

Question #2
Consider statements about cell biology: 1. The plasma membrane is selectively permeable. 2. The nucleolus is the site of protein synthesis. 3. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The plasma membrane is selectively permeable, regulating the entry and exit of specific molecules into and out of the cell. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing powerful hydrolytic (digestive) enzymes for intracellular digestion. The nucleolus is the site of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis and ribosome assembly, not protein synthesis, which occurs at ribosomes. Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct.

Question #3
The process by which a cell engulfs large particles such as bacteria is:
A. Pinocytosis
B. Exocytosis
C. Osmosis
D. Phagocytosis

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Phagocytosis is receptor-mediated or non-specific engulfment of large particles, forming a phagosome that fuses with lysosomes. Key in immune defense.
