C Correct answer
Explanation

Water is unique because it possesses both high surface tension (due to hydrogen bonding) and high thermal conductivity compared to many other common liquids.

Living cell contains $60 - 75$% water. Water present in human body is

  1. $60 - 65$%
  2. $50 - 55$%
  3. $75 - 80$%
  4. $65 - 70$%
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Our cells are made of 60-75% water, hence most of the enzymes and protein molecules, our genetic material, all are water soluble and are evolved in a way to co-exist in water surrounding environment. Thus our proteins are folded in a way where the hydrophobic amino acid residues are folded inside the protein and hydrophilic residues face the hydrated outer environment. Similarly our DNA, RNA are all water soluble. Since the structural and functional unit of our body, consists of 60-75% of water hence, the entire human body is expected to have similar water content.
So, the correct answer is '65−70%'.

When a litre of water is introduced in human blood, 

  1. BMR decreases

  2. RBCs collapse and urine production increases

  3. BMR increases

  4. RBCs collapse and urine production decreases
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Introducing a large volume of water into the blood decreases its osmolarity. This causes water to move into red blood cells (osmosis), potentially causing them to swell and burst (hemolysis), and triggers the kidneys to increase urine production to restore balance.

Multiple choice biology food components and nutrition simple test for nutrients test for nutrients protein and its function

X is one of the important components of food. Wheat, pearl millet and sweet potato are rich sources of X, X gives a blue-black colour with a dilute solution of iodine. Identify X.

  1. Minerals

  2. Fats

  3. Proteins

  4. Carbohydrates
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

  • Starch gives blue-black colour with Iodine and is used as a test. Starch is a polysaccharide(carbohydrate).

So, the correct option is 'Carbohydrates'.

Multiple choice biology food components and nutrition need for nutrients nutrition and its deficiency nutrition and its need

Nutrition of animals is related to

  1. Trophology

  2. Teratology

  3. Dysteleology

  4. Tricology
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
A- Food combining (also known as trophology) is a term for a nutritional approach that advocates specific ingestion and combinations of foods as central to good health and weight loss.
B- Teratology is the medical discipline that focuses on birth defects and congenital abnormalities. Most teratological professionals provide consultative services to pregnant women, or engage in complex research. 
C- Absence of purpose in nature especially as manifested in rudimentary or nonfunctional structures.
D- Trichology is the branch of dermatology concerned with the health of hair and scalp. Trichology helps in diagnosis of the causes of hair fall, hair breakage, hair thinning, miniaturization of hairs, diseases of the scalp and treat the diseases.
So, the correct option is 'Trophology'.
