Question #1
Consider statements about human physiology: 1. The liver stores glycogen. 2. The spleen filters blood and removes old RBCs. 3. The appendix is essential for digestion. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The liver plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism, storing excess glucose as glycogen and releasing it when blood sugar drops. The spleen acts as a blood filter, removing old, damaged, or abnormal red blood cells and storing platelets. The appendix is a small, blind-ended tube attached to the cecum; it has no significant role in human digestion and is considered a vestigial organ. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
Consider the following statements about enzymes:
1. They are biological catalysts.
2. They are consumed in the reaction.
3. They lower the activation energy of reactions.
Which of the above is/are correct?
A. 1, 2, and 3
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy and are not consumed; they remain unchanged after the reaction. Thus, statement 2 is false. 1 and 3 are correct.
