Consider statements about human anatomy: 1. The heart has four chambers. 2. The lungs are the primary organs of respiration. 3. The brain is protected by the skull. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The human heart is a four-chambered muscular organ consisting of two upper atria (receiving chambers) and two lower ventricles (discharging chambers), ensuring complete separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest, serving as the primary site for gas exchange (respiration). The brain, the control center of the nervous system, is encased and protected by the bony cranium (skull). All statements are correct.

Question #1
Which of the following conditions is characterized by the presence of ketone bodies in urine, often associated with diabetes mellitus?
A. Hematuria
B. Proteinuria
C. Ketonuria
D. Glycosuria

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ketonuria is the presence of ketone bodies (acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetone) in urine, resulting from increased fat metabolism due to carbohydrate unavailability in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Glycosuria is glucose in urine, proteinuria is protein, hematuria is blood. Ketonuria indicates diabetic ketoacidosis, a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment.

Question #3
Lysosomes are rich in which type of enzymes?
A. Oxidoreductases
B. Hydrolytic enzymes
C. Isomerases
D. Transferases

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Lysosomes contain about 40 types of hydrolytic enzymes (hydrolases) like proteases, lipases, nucleases, glycosidases, which digest macromolecules. They function in acidic pH (5.0). Oxidoreductases catalyze oxidation-reduction, transferases transfer groups, isomerases catalyze isomerization. Lysosomes are involved in autophagy, phagocytosis, and programmed cell death. Their rupture leads to autolysis, hence called 'suicide bags'.
