Q :  

Which is a major essential lipophilic (fat-soluble) vitamin required for the protection of cell membranes and the formation of red blood cells (RBCs)?

(A) Vitamin A

(B) Vitamin C

(C) Vitamin D

(D) Vitamin E

Correct Answer : D
Explanation :

Vitamins A, D, E, and K are called the fat-soluble vitamins, because they are soluble in organic solvents and are absorbed and transported in a manner similar to that of fats.

Q :  

What is the correct statement related to Avogadro?

(A) Avogadro made a distinction between electrons and neutrons.

(B) Avogadro discovered a difference between animal and plant cell.

(C) Avogadro discovered electrons.

(D) Avogadro made a distinction between atoms and molecules

Correct Answer : D
Explanation :

This is a fundamental constant in chemistry that represents the number of atoms or molecules in one mole of a substance. (Option 4 is correct) Its value is approximately 6.022 x 1023, and it is denoted by the symbol "N_A". Avogadro's number is a key concept in stoichiometry. The branch of chemistry deals with the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions.


Q :  

In which year did Rudolf Virchow published an essay titled ‘Cellular Pathology’ in which he famously declared that "every cell arises from another cell”?

(A) 1865

(B) 1835

(C) 1845

(D) 1855

Correct Answer : D
Explanation :

n 1855, at the age of 34, he published his now famous aphorism “omnis cellula e cellula” (“every cell stems from another cell”). With this approach Virchow launched the field of cellular pathology. He stated that all diseases involve changes in normal cells, that is, all pathology ultimately is cellular pathology.

(A) New Delhi

(B) Bengaluru

(C) Pune

(D) Patna

Correct Answer : C
Explanation :

(A) June, 2004

(B) July, 2004

(C) August, 2004

(D) September, 2004

Correct Answer : D
Explanation :

Q :  

In the format of the IUPAC name of the organic compound, the term ‘Root’ is used to represent:

(A) the number of carbon atoms in the parent chain

(B) the presence of side chains or substituent groups

(C) functional groups that may be present in the compound

(D) the cyclic or acyclic nature of the given compound

Correct Answer : A
Explanation :

The Word root indicates the total number of carbon atoms present in the longest carbon chain belonging to the compound For example, 'Meth' refers to a chain with 1 carbon atom and 'Pent' refers to a chain with 5 carbon atoms. metalloid in dictionary chemical name is Naoh. Nylon properties: Atomic number of iodine. Dobereiner Traids an Atomic compound.


Q :  

A geostationary satellite revolves round the Earth from– 

(A) East to West

(B) West to East

(C) North to South

(D) South to North

Correct Answer : B

Q :  

By what metabolic process in the kitchen can you make food like curd, paneer and sauerkraut?

(A) Pasteurisation

(B) Fermentation

(C) Condensation

(D) Steaming

Q :  

In 1928, who discovered that when a ray of coloured light enters a liquid, a fraction of the light scattered by that liquid is of a different colour?

(A) SN Bose

(B) Lord Rayleigh

(C) CV Raman

(D) John Tyndall

Correct Answer : C
Explanation :

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, discovered on 28 February 1928, that when a beam of coloured light entered a liquid, a fraction of the light scattered was of a different color, dependent on material property. This radiation effect of molecular scattering of light bears the name of ‘Raman Effect’, from which many applications in photonic communications and spectroscopy evolved. The Raman Effect is the process of scattering light particles by molecules of a medium.
