The protein responsible for muscle contraction are: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The protein responsible for muscle contraction are:
A. Hemoglobin and insulin
B. Collagen and elastin
C. Actin and myosin
D. Keratin and melanin
Answer: Option C
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
In plant physiology, the 'Osmotic pressure' is the pressure that must be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of water across a semipermeable membrane. It is directly proportional to the:
A. Concentration of solute particles
B. Size of the solute molecules
C. Volume of the solution
D. Temperature only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Osmotic pressure (OP) is a colligative property of a solution, meaning it depends on the number of solute particles dissolved in a given volume of solvent, not on the nature or size of the particles. It is defined as the hydrostatic pressure that must be applied to a solution to prevent the net flow of water (osmosis) into the solution across a semipermeable membrane. According to the van't Hoff equation, osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the molar concentration of solute particles and the absolute temperature. The more concentrated the solution, the higher its osmotic pressure.

Question #2
Consider statements about human immunity: 1. Innate immunity is present from birth. 2. Vaccination provides artificial active immunity. 3. Antibodies are produced by T-lymphocytes. 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 C


Explanation:
Innate immunity is the non-specific defense mechanism present by birth, including physical barriers and phagocytes. Vaccination introduces antigens to stimulate the body's own antibody production, conferring artificial active immunity. Antibodies (immunoglobulins) are produced and secreted by B-lymphocytes (plasma cells), not T-lymphocytes, which are involved in cell-mediated immunity. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
The polysaccharide that forms the major structural component of plant cell walls is:
A. Cellulose
B. Chitin
C. Starch
D. Glycogen

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Cellulose, a linear polymer of β-D-glucose units linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds, forms microfibrils that provide tensile strength to plant cell walls. Glycogen is animal storage, starch plant storage, chitin in fungi and arthropods. Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on Earth.
