Question #1
Consider statements about human nutrition: 1. Carbohydrates provide energy. 2. Proteins build and repair tissues. 3. Fats are harmful and should be avoided. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Carbohydrates are the body's primary and most efficient source of energy, broken down into glucose to fuel cellular activities and physical exertion. Proteins are essential macronutrients composed of amino acids, crucial for the growth, maintenance, and repair of body tissues, as well as forming enzymes, hormones, and antibodies. Fats are essential macronutrients; they provide concentrated energy, are vital for cell membrane structure, aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and provide essential fatty acids. They should not be entirely avoided. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
The enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate is:
A. Phosphofructokinase
B. Glucose-6-phosphatase
C. Pyruvate kinase
D. Hexokinase

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Hexokinase phosphorylates glucose to glucose-6-phosphate using ATP, the first step of glycolysis. Phosphofructokinase is the third step, pyruvate kinase the last, glucose-6-phosphatase reverses the reaction in gluconeogenesis.

Question #3
Pteridophytes are also known as:
A. Amphibians of the plant kingdom
B. Vascular cryptogams
C. Flowering plants
D. Naked seeded plants

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Pteridophytes (ferns and their relatives) are the first terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) for water and nutrient transport. However, they do not produce seeds or flowers and reproduce via spores. Hence, they are called 'vascular cryptogams'. Bryophytes are called 'amphibians of the plant kingdom'.
