Vaccination provides which type of immunity? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Vaccination provides which type of immunity?
A. Natural passive immunity
B. Natural active immunity
C. Artificial active immunity
D. Artificial passive immunity
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Vaccination involves the introduction of a weakened, killed, or partial pathogen (antigen) into the body. This stimulates the immune system to produce its own antibodies and memory cells without causing the disease. Since the body actively produces the immune response due to an artificial stimulus, it is called artificial active immunity.

Question #1
The 'Hormone Peptide YY' (PYY) is secreted by the L cells of the distal gastrointestinal tract (ileum and colon) in response to food intake. Its primary function is to:
A. Stimulate appetite
B. Inhibit gastric emptying and pancreatic secretion, and reduce appetite (satiety signal)
C. Stimulate gastric acid secretion
D. Increase intestinal motility

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Peptide YY (PYY) is a gut hormone secreted by the L cells in the mucosa of the distal small intestine (ileum) and colon, primarily in response to food ingestion, especially fats. Its primary functions are related to the 'ileal brake' mechanism: it inhibits gastric emptying and pancreatic exocrine secretion, slowing down the transit of food through the upper GI tract to allow more time for digestion and absorption in the ileum. It also acts on the hypothalamus to reduce appetite, serving as a satiety signal.

Question #2
The gland that produces tears is the:
A. Ceruminous gland
B. Lacrimal gland
C. Sublingual gland
D. Parotid gland

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Lacrimal glands, located above the outer corner of each eye, produce tears that lubricate and protect the eye surface. Parotid and sublingual are salivary glands, ceruminous glands produce ear wax.

Question #3
Which of the following plants utilizes the C4 photosynthetic pathway?
A. Rice
B. Wheat
C. Maize
D. Soybean

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Maize (corn), sugarcane, and sorghum are classic examples of C4 plants. They possess Kranz anatomy, where bundle sheath cells contain chloroplasts. C4 plants initially fix CO2 into a 4-carbon compound (oxaloacetate) using PEP carboxylase in mesophyll cells, which minimizes photorespiration and increases photosynthetic efficiency in hot, dry climates.
