Question #1
The amount of air that remains in the lungs after a normal tidal expiration is the:
A. Total lung capacity
B. Inspiratory capacity
C. Vital capacity
D. Functional residual capacity

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Functional residual capacity (FRC) is the volume of air in the lungs at the end of a normal expiration (ERV + RV). It prevents alveolar collapse and buffers gas concentrations. Vital capacity is max exhaled after max inhalation, total lung capacity is max air lungs can hold, inspiratory capacity is max inhaled after normal exhalation.

Question #2
During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the:
A. Terminator
B. Start codon
C. Enhancer
D. Promoter

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
RNA polymerase recognizes and binds to the promoter region of DNA, which is located upstream of the coding sequence. This initiates transcription. The terminator signals the end of transcription. Start codon (AUG) is on mRNA where translation begins. Enhancers are regulatory DNA sequences that increase transcription but are not the primary binding site for polymerase.

Question #3
Which of the following nitrogenous wastes is the most toxic?
A. Creatinine
B. Ammonia
C. Uric acid
D. Urea

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Ammonia (NH₃) is highly toxic and requires large volumes of water for its excretion; hence it is produced by aquatic animals. Urea is less toxic, uric acid least toxic and water-insoluble. Creatinine is a minor waste. Ammonia is converted to urea in the liver via the urea cycle in ureotelic organisms.
