Consider statements about human physiology: 1. The liver produces bile. 2. The pancreas produces insulin. 3. The gall bladder produces digestive enzymes. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about human physiology: 1. The liver produces bile. 2. The pancreas produces insulin. 3. The gall bladder produces digestive enzymes. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 3 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The liver continuously synthesizes bile, which is essential for fat emulsification. The pancreas acts as both an exocrine and endocrine gland; its Islets of Langerhans produce insulin and glucagon. The gall bladder only stores, concentrates, and releases bile; it does not produce any digestive enzymes. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #1
Consider statements about gymnosperms: 1. They bear naked seeds. 2. They are mostly evergreen trees. 3. They undergo double fertilization. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Gymnosperms are seed-producing plants where the ovules are not enclosed in an ovary; hence, the seeds are naked. They are predominantly perennial, evergreen, woody trees like pines and cedars. Double fertilization and the formation of triploid endosperm are unique characteristics of angiosperms, not gymnosperms. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
Which of the following defines a biological species?
A. Organisms sharing the same genetic code
B. Organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring
C. Organisms having similar physical appearances
D. Organisms living in the same habitat

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A biological species is defined as a group of potentially interbreeding natural populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups and produce fertile offspring. Physical similarity or shared habitat does not guarantee species status, as reproductive isolation is the key criterion.

Which of the following is a trace element?
A. Phosphorus
B. Zinc
C. Sodium
D. Potassium

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Zinc is a micronutrient (trace mineral) required in small amounts for enzyme function, immune response, and wound healing. Sodium, potassium, and phosphorus are macrominerals.
