The specific gravity of normal urine is approximately: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The specific gravity of normal urine is approximately:
A. 1.015-1.030
B. 1.050-1.100
C. 0.800-0.900
D. 1.000
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Urine specific gravity, a measure of solute concentration, normally ranges from 1.015 to 1.030. It varies with hydration status: low when dilute (after drinking), high when concentrated (dehydration). Diabetes insipidus shows low SG, diabetes mellitus may show high due to glucose.

Question #1
The scientist who first used the term 'antibiotic' was:
A. Selman Waksman
B. Gerhard Domagk
C. Alexander Fleming
D. Paul Ehrlich

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Selman Waksman coined the term 'antibiotic' in 1942 to describe chemical compounds produced by microorganisms that inhibit or kill other microbes. Fleming discovered penicillin, Ehrlich developed the concept of chemotherapy, Domagk discovered sulfa drugs.

Question #2
Consider statements about plant biology: 1. Xylem vessels are dead at maturity. 2. Phloem sieve tubes are living at maturity. 3. Cambium is responsible for primary growth. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Xylem vessels and tracheids are dead, hollow cells at functional maturity, providing a continuous tube for water transport. Phloem sieve tube elements are living cells at maturity, though they lack a nucleus, and are responsible for transporting organic nutrients. Cambium (vascular and cork) is a lateral meristem responsible for secondary growth (increase in girth), while apical meristems are responsible for primary growth (increase in length). Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
The ozone layer is located in which layer of the atmosphere?
A. Troposphere
B. Stratosphere
C. Thermosphere
D. Mesosphere

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The ozone layer is in the stratosphere (15-35 km altitude), absorbing harmful UV-B and UV-C radiation. CFCs cause its depletion.
