Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Poultry birds are reared for meat and eggs. 2. Dairy animals are reared for milk production. 3. Sericulture involves rearing honeybees. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Poultry farming involves the commercial rearing of birds, primarily chickens, for the production of meat (broilers) and eggs (layers). Dairy farming focuses on the breeding, rearing, and management of cattle, buffaloes, and other mammals for the production of milk and milk products. Sericulture is the rearing of silkworms (Bombyx mori) for silk production; the rearing of honeybees is called apiculture. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #1
The enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA is:
A. Citrate synthase
B. Pyruvate kinase
C. Lactate dehydrogenase
D. Pyruvate dehydrogenase

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) oxidatively decarboxylates pyruvate, producing acetyl-CoA, NADH, and CO₂ in the mitochondrial matrix, linking glycolysis to the Krebs cycle. Pyruvate kinase is in glycolysis, lactate dehydrogenase converts pyruvate to lactate, citrate synthase starts the Krebs cycle.

Question #2
The organelle that contains catalase and peroxidase enzymes is the:
A. Peroxisome
B. Mitochondria
C. Golgi apparatus
D. Lysosome

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Peroxisomes are single-membrane organelles containing oxidative enzymes like catalase and urate oxidase. They break down fatty acids via β-oxidation and detoxify hydrogen peroxide. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes, mitochondria energy, Golgi packaging. Peroxisomes are abundant in liver and kidney cells.

Question #3
Which of the following statements about DNA is correct?
A. It is usually single-stranded.
B. It contains the sugar ribose.
C. Adenine pairs with guanine.
D. It is located in the nucleus in eukaryotes.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
DNA is primarily located in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It contains deoxyribose (not ribose), is double-stranded, and adenine pairs with thymine. Thus, D is correct.
