- Question
Which one of the following hormones is essential for the uptake of glucose by cells in the human body?
Options- A. GH
- B. TSH
- C. Insulin
- D. Cortisol
- Correct Answer
- Insulin
ExplanationInsulin is an anabolic hormone that stimulates glucose and fatty acid uptake into adipose cells, promoting triglyceride synthesis.Glucagon is a peptide hormone, produced by alpha cells of the pancreas. It works to raise the concentration of glucose and fatty acids in the bloodstream, and is considered to be the main catabolic hormone of the body.

Correct Answer: Cerebellum
Correct Answer: Ear
Correct Answer: Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Correct Answer: transport of water
Correct Answer: Tooth caries
Explanation:
Fluoride deficiency is a disorder which may cause increased dental caries due to a lack of fluoride in the diet. Dental caries or tooth decay is the breakdown of dental tissues by the acidic products released by the "bacterial fermentation of dietary carbohydrates?
Correct Answer: 2 and 3 only
Explanation:
The absence of a nucleus is an adaptation of the red blood cell for its role. It allows the red bloodcell to contain more haemoglobin and, therefore, carry more oxygen moleculesLike red cells, platelets (thrombocytes) have no nucleus.Monocytes have a small spherical nucleus and has abundant dark staining condensed chromatin.There are 5 organelles found in a root hair cell. They are the: nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall and vacuole.
Correct Answer: 1, 2 and 3
Explanation:
Enzymes are biological catalysts. Enzymes are the catalysts involved in biological chemical reactions.
A fundamental task of proteins is to act as enzymes?catalysts that increase the rate of virtually all the chemical reactions within cells.
A catalyst remains chemically unchanged itself at the end of a reaction.
Each enzyme has a temperature that it works optimally in, which in humans is around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, 37 degrees Celsius ?the normal body temperature for humans.
Correct Answer: Two neurons
Correct Answer: Synthesis of protein
Explanation:
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulumdoes not contain ribosomes on its surface for which it is regarded as smooth. So, proteins cannotbe synthesised by SER provided protein synthesis is the primary task of ribosomes.
Correct Answer: Lateral meristem
Explanation:
In vascular plants, the lateral meristem is one of two meristems in which growth occurs in order to increase stem girth. A meristem is the region of plant tissue found on the tips of roots and shoots. It is where cell division occurs to produce new growth.
