The average diameter of red blood corpuscles of man is

  • 7.2 µm

  • 8.1 µm

  • 9.2 µm

  • 10.3 m

Solution

A.

7.2 µm

Normal RBCs have a diameter of 6 - 7.5 μm. On a peripheral blood smear, normal RBCs are disc-shaped with a pale-staining central area called the central pallor. When judging red cell size on a blood smear, the classic rule of thumb is to compare them to the nucleus of a small normal lymphocyte

FAD is electron acceptor during oxidation of which of the following

  • ketoglutarate ➔ Succinyl Co-A

  • Succinic acid➔ Fumaric acid

  • Succinyl Co-A ➔ Succinic acid

  • Fumaric acid ➔ Malic acid

Solution

B.

Succinic acid➔ Fumaric acid

In biochemistry, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is a redopx-active coenzyme associated with various protiens, which is involved with several important enzymatic reactions in metabolism. A flavoprotien is a protein that contains a flavin group, this may be in the form of FAD or flavin mononucleotide(FMN).

The chemical nature of hormones secreted by α and β cells of pancreas is

  • glycolipid

  • glycoprotein

  • steroid

  • polypeptide

Solution

D.

polypeptide

Question
CBSEENBI11025269

How many ATP molecules are obtained from fermentation of 1 molecule of glucose

  • 4

  • 3

  • 5

Solution

A.

The net energy gain in fermentation is 2 ATP molecules/glucose molecule. In both lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation, all the NADH produced in glycolysis is consumed in fermentation, so there is no net NADH production, and no NADH to enter the ETC and form more ATP.

Question
CBSEENBI11025274

In which stage of cell division chromosomes are most condensed

  • Prophase

  • Metaphase

  • Anaphase

  • Telophase

Solution

C.

Anaphase

'Anaphase', is the stage of mitosis after the metaphase when replicated chromosomes are split and the daughter chromatids are moved to opposite poles of the cell. Chromosomes also reach their overall maximum condensation in late anaphase, to help chromosome segregation and the re-formation of the nucleus.
