Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Frogs belong to the class Amphibia, characterized by a life cycle that includes an aquatic larval stage (tadpole) with gills and an adult stage with lungs, moist skin, and a three-chambered heart. Turtle, snake, and lizard are reptiles, with dry scaly skin and amniotic eggs. Amphibians are the first terrestrial vertebrates but depend on water for reproduction.

A. Duodenum
B. Pancreas

Question #2
Consider statements about human digestion: 1. Saliva contains the enzyme ptyalin. 2. The stomach secretes hydrochloric acid. 3. Bile is produced by the gall bladder. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Salivary glands secrete saliva containing salivary amylase (ptyalin) which begins starch digestion. The stomach's gastric glands secrete HCl, creating an acidic medium for pepsin action. Bile is synthesized continuously by the liver, stored, and concentrated in the gall bladder, but not produced by it. Therefore, statements 1 and 2 are correct, while 3 is false.

Question #3
Which of the following vitamins is required for the synthesis of collagen?
A. Vitamin D
B. Vitamin A
C. Vitamin C
D. Vitamin K

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a cofactor for prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase enzymes that hydroxylate proline and lysine in collagen synthesis, necessary for stabilizing collagen triple helix. Deficiency leads to impaired collagen formation, causing scurvy—fragile blood vessels, bleeding gums, poor wound healing. Vitamin A is for vision, D for bone, K for clotting.
