A Correct answer
Explanation

On 3 August 1954, India’s Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) was created under the direct charge of the Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru through a Presidential Order. Subsequently, following a Government Resolution dated 1 March 1958, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) was established in the Department of Atomic Energy. The DAE was headed by Dr. Homi Jagangir Bhabha, widely regarded as the father of Indian nuclear research. The body was formed to accelerate the pace of scientific progress in India, with special emphasis on atomic power.

Signaling between cells usually results in the activation of protein

  1. Lipases

  2. Kinases

  3. Proteases

  4. Nucleases
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

One of the important mechanisms of cell communication is through reversible phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins. These reactions are catalysed by kinases and occur through a cascade mechanism.

Most abundant protein in the human body is

  1. Haemoglobin

  2. Keratin

  3. Collagen

  4. Immunoglobulin
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the animal world which accounts for 30% of total protein content in the human body. Collagen is a key constituent of all the connective tissues. It is found in joints, bones, skin, hair, etc. This protein helps the skin to move, stretch and rebound into shape. It is present throughout the body and keeps the cells together. Without collagen the body would fall apart into pieces. 

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

  2. During fasting body utilized proteins

  3. Proteins act as building blocks of our body

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Proteins are essential because they provide amino acids that the body cannot synthesize on its own, serve as structural building blocks for tissues, and can be used as an energy source during periods of starvation.

The protein required for the transport of galactose across the cell membrane in E. coli is 

  1. Allolactase
  2. $\beta$-galactosidase

  3. Galactose permease

  4. Transcriptase
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The numerous permeases that belong to ABC superfamily of proteins is present in number of bacterial cell. The ATP is hydrolysed by these proteins  to transport specific amino acids, sugars, vitamins, or even peptides into the cells. One such permease is galactose permease, which is responsible for transportation of galactose.

  1. Hydrolysis for energy provision.

  2. Structural integrity of the cell.

  3. Regulation of metabolism.

  4. Defense mechanisms.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Proteins are the most important and versatile biomolecules in living systems. They are involved in general body-building, catalytic role as enzymes, and body defence in immunological reactions. Energy currency of living systems are usually nucleotides like ATP. They are hydrolysed to provide energy as and when required.
