The type of muscle tissue present in the walls of blood vessels and intestine is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The type of muscle tissue present in the walls of blood vessels and intestine is:
A. Voluntary muscle
B. Smooth muscle
C. Cardiac muscle
D. Skeletal muscle
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Smooth muscle is non-striated, spindle-shaped, involuntary muscle found in the walls of hollow organs like intestines, blood vessels, uterus, and bladder. It controls peristalsis, vasoconstriction, and other autonomic functions. Skeletal muscle is voluntary and striated, cardiac muscle is striated but involuntary.

Question #1
The 'Humulin' was the first genetically engineered human therapeutic product approved for clinical use. It is:
A. Human Insulin
B. Human Growth Hormone
C. Human Albumin
D. Human Interferon

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Humulin is the trade name for the first genetically engineered human insulin, approved by the FDA in 1982. Prior to this, insulin for diabetic patients was extracted from the pancreases of pigs and cows, which could cause allergic reactions. Humulin is produced by inserting the human insulin genes into Escherichia coli bacteria, which then synthesize the exact amino acid sequence of human insulin, eliminating the risk of animal-derived immune reactions.

Question #2
Which vitamin is also called 'cobalamin'?
A. Vitamin B₆
B. Vitamin B₁₂
C. Vitamin B₉
D. Vitamin B₁

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:

Question #3
Consider statements about microorganisms: 1. Bacteria can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. 2. Viruses are considered living outside a host. 3. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Bacteria exhibit diverse nutritional modes; some are autotrophic (photosynthetic like cyanobacteria or chemosynthetic), while others are heterotrophic (saprophytic or parasitic). Fungi are eukaryotic organisms, characterized by having a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, and are heterotrophic. Viruses are considered non-living outside a host cell because they lack metabolic machinery and cannot replicate independently; they only exhibit living characteristics inside a host. Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct.
