  1. Small fat globules coated with protein

  2. Protein molecules coated with fat

  3. Small granules found in gastric juice

  4. Aerobic microbes

  5. Neural signals that stimulate intestinal secretions

A Correct answer
Explanation

Chylomicrons are lipoprotein particles that consist of triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins. They transport dietary lipids from the intestines to other locations in the body.

Assertion : Coacervates are believed to be the precursors of life.

Reason : Coacervates were self - duplicating aggregates of proteins surrounded by lipid molecules.

  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion

  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false

  4. If both the assertion and reason are false

  5. If the assertion is false but reason is true

C Correct answer
Explanation

Oparin and Sydney Fox held that large organic molecules synthesised abiotically on primitive earth and formed large colloidal aggregates due to intermolecular attraction. These colloidal particles were called coacervates. In coacervates, lipid molecules are joined end to end forming a layer around each aggregate. This represents a single lipid membrane. Coacervates divide by budding like bacteria.

Nitrate reductive is classified as a.

  1. Zinc protein

  2. Iron protein

  3. Molybdenum protein

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

Nitrate reductase is a critical enzyme involved in nitrogen assimilation in plants and is classified as a molybdenum-containing protein, requiring molybdenum as a cofactor for its catalytic electron-transfer function.

Those amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the body and must be derived through the diet are known as

  1. coenzymes

  2. essential amino acids

  3. polypeptides

  4. non-essential amino acids
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

  • Essential amino acids are not produced in the body, so they are to be taken from outside.
  • There are 9 essential amino acids; Histidine, isoleucine, leucine, valine, threonine, tryptophan, phenylalanine
So, the correct answer is 'Essential amino acids'

Non-protein part of the conjugated protein is called.......

  1. co-factor

  2. ketone

  3. prosthetic group

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

Enzymes with protein and non protein part is called conjugated enzyme. It is also called holoenzyme. In this, protein part is called apoenzyme and non protein part is called co-factor. In the co-factor, organic co-factors are called co-enzymes and inorganic co-factors are called metal ions.

So, the correct option is 'co-factor'.

Which of the following is not a structural protein?

  1. Fibrin

  2. Albumin

  3. Collagen

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

  • Structural proteins are the proteins that are generally fibrous and stringy. They are the most abundant class of proteins in nature. Their main function is to provide mechanical support. Examples of structural proteins can be keratin, collagen, fibrin and elastin.
  • Albumin is a type of transport protein which help to transport the materials in the cells and form channels in the plasma membrane.
So, the correct option is 'Albumin'.
