The fluid that lubricates joints and reduces friction is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The fluid that lubricates joints and reduces friction is:
A. Pleural fluid
B. Synovial fluid
C. Aqueous humor
D. Cerebrospinal fluid
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Synovial fluid is a viscous, egg-white-like fluid secreted by the synovial membrane in synovial joints (e.g., knee, hip). It lubricates articular cartilage, reducing friction and wear, and also nourishes cartilage. CSF cushions CNS, pleural fluid reduces lung friction, aqueous humor is in the eye.

Question #1
Which of the following statements about protein structure is correct?
A. Denaturation breaks peptide bonds.
B. The secondary structure includes alpha helices and beta sheets.
C. The primary structure is the overall 3D shape.
D. Disulfide bonds are part of the secondary structure.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Secondary structure refers to local folding patterns like α-helices and β-sheets. Primary is amino acid sequence; tertiary is 3D folding; disulfide bonds are tertiary/quaternary; denaturation disrupts non-covalent bonds, not peptide bonds.

Question #2
In animal husbandry, the 'Leghorn' is a high-yielding breed of:
A. Broiler chicken (meat production)
B. Dairy cattle
C. Beef cattle
D. Layer chicken (egg production)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The Leghorn (specifically the White Leghorn) is a highly popular and productive breed of chicken originating from Tuscany, Italy. It is primarily reared as a layer breed for commercial egg production due to its high egg yield, early maturity, and efficient feed conversion. It is not typically used for meat production (broilers like Cornish Cross are preferred for that) or as cattle. Rhode Island Red is another dual-purpose breed, but Leghorn is specifically famous for eggs.

Question #3
The hormone that promotes the development of the corpus luteum after ovulation is:
A. Estrogen
B. FSH
C. Prolactin
D. LH

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Luteinizing hormone (LH) triggers ovulation and then promotes the formation and maintenance of the corpus luteum from the ruptured follicle. The corpus luteum secretes progesterone. FSH stimulates follicle growth, prolactin milk production, estrogen from follicles.
