The specific gravity of normal urine is approximately: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The specific gravity of normal urine is approximately:
A. 1.015-1.030
B. 1.050-1.100
C. 1.000
D. 0.800-0.900
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Urine specific gravity, a measure of solute concentration, normally ranges from 1.015 to 1.030. It varies with hydration status: low when dilute (after drinking), high when concentrated (dehydration). Diabetes insipidus shows low SG, diabetes mellitus may show high due to glucose.

Question #1
The type of white blood cell that produces histamine in allergic reactions is:
A. Monocyte
B. Basophil
C. Neutrophil
D. Lymphocyte

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Basophils, and similarly mast cells in tissues, release histamine and other inflammatory mediators during allergic and hypersensitivity reactions. Neutrophils are first responders to infection, lymphocytes are adaptive immune cells, monocytes become macrophages. Histamine causes vasodilation and bronchoconstriction.

Question #2
In human digestive system, the enzyme that digests fats is:
A. Sucrase
B. Lipase
C. Pepsin
D. Amylase

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Lipase is the fat-digesting enzyme, produced mainly by the pancreas (pancreatic lipase) and also by lingual and gastric glands. It hydrolyzes triglycerides into monoglycerides and free fatty acids. Bile salts emulsify fats, increasing surface area for lipase action. Amylase digests starch, pepsin digests proteins, sucrase hydrolyzes sucrose. Lipase requires colipase for optimal activity.

Question #3
Which of the following statements about the lymphatic system is correct?
A. Lymph nodes produce red blood cells.
B. The thymus is a secondary lymphoid organ.
C. It returns interstitial fluid to the bloodstream.
D. It circulates blood throughout the body.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The lymphatic system drains excess tissue fluid (lymph) back to the venous blood. Blood circulation is the cardiovascular system; lymph nodes filter lymph; thymus is a primary lymphoid organ.
