Question #1
The vitamin whose active form, retinol, is essential for vision is:
A. Vitamin D
B. Vitamin C
C. Vitamin A
D. Vitamin E

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Vitamin A (retinol) is converted to retinal, which combines with opsin to form rhodopsin, the light-sensitive pigment in rod cells of the retina. Deficiency leads to night blindness and xerophthalmia. Carrots and liver are rich sources. Vitamin C is ascorbic acid, D is calciferol, E is tocopherol.

Question #2
The 'Bundle of His' and 'Purkinje fibers' are specialized structures found in the:
A. Heart
B. Brain
C. Lungs
D. Kidneys

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The Bundle of His and Purkinje fibers are part of the electrical conduction system of the heart. The Bundle of His carries the electrical impulse from the atrioventricular (AV) node down the interventricular septum. It then divides into right and left bundle branches, which terminate in the Purkinje fibers. These fibers rapidly distribute the impulse throughout the ventricular myocardium, ensuring coordinated ventricular contraction.

Question #3
Consider statements about microorganisms: 1. Algae are photosynthetic. 2. Protozoa are multicellular. 3. Fungi reproduce by spores. 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 D


Explanation:
Algae are a diverse group of photosynthetic, eukaryotic organisms ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms. Protozoa are unicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotic organisms, not multicellular. Fungi typically reproduce asexually and sexually through the formation of spores, which are dispersed to form new individuals. Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct.
