Which of the following statements about lipids is correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following statements about lipids is correct?
A. Triglycerides are composed of glycerol and three fatty acids.
B. Cholesterol is a protein.
C. Phospholipids are the main energy storage molecules.
D. They are soluble in water.
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Triglycerides are glycerol + 3 fatty acids; they are hydrophobic. Phospholipids are membrane components; triglycerides are main energy storage. Cholesterol is a steroid lipid, not protein.

Question #1
The type of white blood cell that produces histamine in allergic reactions is:
A. Basophil
B. Monocyte
C. Lymphocyte
D. Neutrophil

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Basophils, and similarly mast cells in tissues, release histamine and other inflammatory mediators during allergic and hypersensitivity reactions. Neutrophils are first responders to infection, lymphocytes are adaptive immune cells, monocytes become macrophages. Histamine causes vasodilation and bronchoconstriction.

Question #2
Which of the following is a correct statement about sponges (phylum Porifera)?
A. They have tissues and organs.
B. They are multicellular with a cellular level of organization.
C. They have a well-developed nervous system.
D. They are exclusively terrestrial.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Sponges are the simplest multicellular animals with a cellular level of organization (no true tissues or organs). They are mostly marine, sessile, filter feeders. Water enters through numerous pores (ostia) into a spongocoel and exits through the osculum. They lack a nervous system. They possess specialized cells like choanocytes and amoebocytes but no coordination.

Question #3
In the human body, the 'Cerebrospinal Fluid' (CSF) is a clear, colorless body fluid found in the brain and spinal cord. It is primarily produced by the:
A. Arachnoid mater
B. Pia mater
C. Choroid plexus in the ventricles
D. Dura mater

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) is a clear, watery fluid that circulates through the ventricles of the brain, the central canal of the spinal cord, and the subarachnoid space. It provides mechanical protection (cushioning), chemical stability, and waste removal for the central nervous system. CSF is primarily produced by the choroid plexus, which is a network of highly vascularized, specialized ependymal cells located within the ventricles of the brain (lateral, third, and fourth ventricles).
