    What is the end product of fat and oil?

    • Lipid

    • Amino acid

    • Energy

    • Fatty acid and glycerol

    Correct Answer
    A. Fatty acid and glycerol
    Explanation
    Fat and oil are composed of molecules called triglycerides, which consist of three fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule. During digestion, enzymes break down these triglycerides into their individual components, resulting in the end products of fatty acids and glycerol. Therefore, the correct answer is fatty acid and glycerol.

    What is the end product of protein?

    Correct Answer
    amino acid
    Explanation
    Protein is broken down into its building blocks called amino acids. These amino acids are then used by the body to build and repair tissues, produce enzymes and hormones, and perform various other functions. Therefore, the end product of protein is amino acid.

    Genetics si the study of?

    • Variation

    • Heredity

    • Gene

    • Heredity and variation

    • RNA

    Correct Answer
    A. Heredity and variation
    Explanation
    Genetics is the study of heredity and variation because it focuses on understanding how traits are passed down from one generation to another (heredity) and how genetic variations occur within a population (variation). By studying genetics, scientists can gain insights into the inheritance patterns of genes, the mechanisms of genetic variation, and how these factors contribute to the diversity of traits observed in different organisms.

    The fly used for genetics studies is?

    Correct Answer
    drosophilamelanogaster
    fruit fly
    Explanation
    The correct answer is drosophila melanogaster, commonly known as the fruit fly. This species is widely used in genetics studies due to its short life cycle, easy maintenance, and ability to produce a large number of offspring. Fruit flies also share many genetic similarities with humans, making them a valuable model organism for studying various genetic processes and diseases.

    Which is a social insect?

    • Earthworm

    • Tape worm

    • Termite

    • Black fly

    • Mosquito

    Correct Answer
    A. Termite
    Explanation
    A termite is a social insect because it lives in large colonies with a complex social structure. Termites work together to build intricate nests, gather food, and care for their young. They communicate through pheromones and perform specialized roles within the colony. This social behavior is what distinguishes termites from other insects like earthworms, tape worms, black flies, and mosquitoes, which do not exhibit the same level of social organization.

    Amoeba moves with?

    • Cilia

    • Flagellum

    • Legs

    • Ropes

    • Pseudopodium

    Correct Answer
    A. Pseudopodium
    Explanation
    Amoebas move using pseudopodia, which are temporary projections of their cytoplasm. These pseudopodia extend in the direction of movement and then the rest of the amoeba's body follows. This method of movement allows amoebas to change their shape and direction easily, enabling them to crawl and glide along surfaces. Cilia and flagella are used for movement in other organisms, but not in amoebas. Legs and ropes are not relevant to amoeba movement.

    The association between man and gut bacteria is?

    • Parasitism

    • Commensalism

    • Predation

    • Prey

    • Mutualism

    Correct Answer
    A. Mutualism
    Explanation
    The association between man and gut bacteria is mutualism because both parties benefit from their relationship. The gut bacteria aid in digestion and provide essential nutrients to the human host, while the human host provides a suitable environment and nutrients for the bacteria to thrive. This mutualistic relationship is crucial for maintaining a healthy digestive system and overall well-being.

    Fish----->heron-----> ?

    • Shark

    • Mouse

    • Rat

    • Lizard

    • Man

    Correct Answer
    A. Man
    Explanation
    The sequence follows a pattern where each subsequent animal is a predator of the previous animal. A fish is preyed upon by a heron, and a heron is preyed upon by a man. Therefore, the next animal in the sequence would be a predator of a heron, which is a man.
