Question #1
Consider statements about scientists: 1. Carolus Linnaeus developed binomial nomenclature. 2. Louis Pasteur developed the rabies vaccine. 3. Gregor Mendel discovered the structure of DNA. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Carolus Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist, formalized the system of binomial nomenclature for naming organisms. Louis Pasteur made immense contributions to microbiology, including the development of the first effective vaccine against rabies. Gregor Mendel is the father of genetics, known for his laws of inheritance; the structure of DNA was discovered by Watson and Crick. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

A. Pinocytosis
B. Phagocytosis
C. Endocytosis
D. Exocytosis

Correct Answer: Option A

Question #3
The movement of molecules against the concentration gradient with the use of ATP is:
A. Facilitated diffusion
B. Osmosis
C. Active transport
D. Diffusion

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Active transport uses energy (usually ATP) to pump molecules or ions across a membrane against their electrochemical gradient, e.g., Na⁺/K⁺ pump. Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion are passive processes that move substances down their gradient without energy expenditure.
