Question #1
Consider statements about vitamins: 1. Vitamin A is essential for vision. 2. Vitamin C is a fat-soluble vitamin. 3. Vitamin D deficiency causes rickets. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Vitamin A (retinol) is crucial for the synthesis of rhodopsin, maintaining normal vision, especially in dim light. Vitamin D deficiency impairs calcium absorption, leading to rickets in children. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin, not fat-soluble; vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble. Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct.

Question #2
Which of the following is a fat-soluble vitamin?
A. Vitamin K
B. Vitamin B₆
C. Vitamin B₁₂
D. Vitamin C

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble, stored in body fats and liver. Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting (synthesis of prothrombin). Vitamin B complex and vitamin C are water-soluble, excreted in urine and not stored extensively. Fat-soluble vitamins require dietary fat for absorption. Excess of fat-soluble vitamins can cause toxicity (hypervitaminosis).

Question #3
The junction between two neurons where neurotransmitters are released is the:
A. Axon hillock
B. Node of Ranvier
C. Dendrite
D. Synapse

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A synapse is a specialized junction where the axon terminal of one neuron communicates with the dendrite or cell body of another neuron via neurotransmitters. The axon hillock is where action potential initiates, nodes of Ranvier are gaps in myelin sheath, dendrites receive signals.
