Question #1
Assertion (A): Viruses are considered obligate intracellular parasites. Reason (R): They lack their own metabolic machinery and require a host cell to multiply.
A. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
C. A is false, but R is true.
D. A is true, but R is false.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Viruses are non-living outside a host; they cannot carry out metabolic processes or reproduce independently. They hijack the host cell's machinery to replicate. Thus, they are obligate intracellular parasites. The reason correctly explains the assertion.

Question #3
Consider statements about human nutrition: 1. Carbohydrates provide immediate energy. 2. Proteins are body-building foods. 3. Fats are not essential for the body. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Carbohydrates are the body's primary and most readily available source of energy, broken down into glucose for immediate cellular use. Proteins are essential 'body-building' foods, providing amino acids necessary for the growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues, muscles, and enzymes. Fats are essential macronutrients; they provide concentrated energy, are crucial for cell membrane structure, aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and provide essential fatty acids. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
