Which of the following statements about protein structure is correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following statements about protein structure is correct?
A. Disulfide bonds are part of the secondary structure.
B. Denaturation breaks peptide bonds.
C. The secondary structure includes alpha helices and beta sheets.
D. The primary structure is the overall 3D shape.
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Secondary structure refers to local folding patterns like α-helices and β-sheets. Primary is amino acid sequence; tertiary is 3D folding; disulfide bonds are tertiary/quaternary; denaturation disrupts non-covalent bonds, not peptide bonds.

The type of epithelial tissue that lines the inner surface of the stomach and intestines is:
A. Squamous epithelium
B. Columnar epithelium
C. Cuboidal epithelium
D. Stratified epithelium

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Simple columnar epithelium lines the stomach, intestines, and gallbladder, and functions in secretion and absorption. It often has microvilli (brush border) or goblet cells. Squamous epithelium lines alveoli and blood vessels, cuboidal kidney tubules.

Question #2
Which of the following plant hormones delays leaf senescence (aging)?
A. Ethylene
B. Abscisic acid
C. Auxin
D. Cytokinin

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Cytokinins are plant hormones that promote cell division, delay senescence by preventing chlorophyll degradation, and stimulate nutrient mobilization. Ethylene promotes ripening and senescence, abscisic acid promotes abscission and dormancy, auxin is involved in cell elongation. Cytokinins are synthesized in roots and transported upward. They are used to prolong the shelf life of leafy vegetables.

Question #3
The major greenhouse gas emitted from agricultural rice paddies is:
A. Methane
B. Carbon dioxide
C. Nitrous oxide
D. Chlorofluorocarbons

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Methane (CH₄) is produced by methanogenic bacteria in anaerobic conditions of flooded rice paddies. It is a potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential many times that of CO₂. Nitrous oxide comes from fertilizers, CO₂ from fossil fuels, CFCs from refrigerants. Methane also comes from livestock.
