Consider statements about human physiology: 1. The respiratory system exchanges gases. 2. The circulatory system transports blood. 3. The excretory system removes waste. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 2 and 3 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The respiratory system, primarily the lungs, facilitates the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the blood and the external environment. The circulatory system, centered around the heart and blood vessels, transports blood containing oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body. The excretory system, primarily the kidneys, filters blood to remove metabolic waste products and excess water, excreting them as urine. All statements are correct.

Question #1
The nucleolus within the nucleus is the site of synthesis for which cellular component?
A. Lipids
B. DNA
C. rRNA and ribosome assembly
D. mRNA

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The nucleolus is a prominent, non-membrane-bound structure within the nucleus. It is the site of active ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis and the assembly of ribosomal subunits. These subunits then exit the nucleus through nuclear pores to combine in the cytoplasm and form functional ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Question #2
Marasmus is a disease of severe malnutrition characterized by:
A. Overall wasting of body tissues and severe calorie-protein deficiency
B. Bone deformities
C. Bleeding gums
D. Edema and fatty liver

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Marasmus is a form of severe malnutrition caused by a deficiency of both calories and protein. It results in extreme wasting of muscle and subcutaneous fat, making the child look emaciated or 'wasted'. Unlike kwashiorkor, marasmus typically does not present with edema. The child is extremely weak, has a 'old man' face, and is highly susceptible to infections.

Question #3
The organelle that converts fatty acids into sugars in plant seedlings is the:
A. Peroxisome
B. Chloroplast
C. Mitochondria
D. Glyoxysome

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Glyoxysomes are specialized peroxisomes found in germinating oil seeds. They contain enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle, converting fatty acids to carbohydrates until the seedling can photosynthesize.
