Question #1
The process of converting atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia by microorganisms is called:
A. Denitrification
B. Ammonification
C. Nitrogen fixation
D. Nitrification

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Biological nitrogen fixation, performed by bacteria (Rhizobium, Azotobacter) and cyanobacteria, reduces N₂ to NH₃. Nitrification oxidizes ammonia to nitrates, denitrification returns N₂, ammonification releases ammonia from organic matter.

Question #2
The vitamin that is a coenzyme for carboxylases (e.g., pyruvate carboxylase) is:
A. Riboflavin
B. Thiamine
C. Folate
D. Biotin

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Biotin is a coenzyme for carboxylation enzymes, including pyruvate carboxylase (gluconeogenesis) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (fatty acid synthesis). Thiamine (B₁) is for decarboxylation, riboflavin (B₂) for redox, folate (B₉) for one-carbon transfers. Biotin is often bound to lysine in enzymes.

Question #3
The valve that prevents backflow from the right ventricle into the right atrium is the:
A. Tricuspid valve
B. Pulmonary valve
C. Aortic valve
D. Bicuspid valve

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The tricuspid valve (right atrioventricular valve) has three cusps and closes during ventricular systole to prevent regurgitation into the right atrium. The bicuspid (mitral) is on the left side. Aortic and pulmonary valves are semilunar valves at the ventricular outlets.
