General Science problems
- 1. Allium Cepa is the scientific name of _____.
Options- A. Carrot
- B. Tomato
- C. Potato
- D. Onion Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: Onion
- 3. What is the main component of biogas and natural gas?
Options- A. Carbon dioxide
- B. Butane
- C. Hydrogen Sulphide
- D. Methane Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Methane
Explanation:
Methane is the main component of biogas and natural gas.
- 4. What role does photosynthesis play in the carbon cycle? Also asked in: Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: In the process of photosynthesis, plants need the sun's energy, water to make food for themselves in the form of ATP ( adenosine triphosphate ) , which is packages of energy Carbon : coming into the plants ( or algae ) along with water make those ATP into a bigger molecule, which is know as glucose Formula: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Suns Energy -> glucose + oxygen Photosynthesis has an affect on the carbon cycle because it reduces the amount of CO2 in the air and redirects it into sugars which feeds animals as well as humans Hence, Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with O2
- 5. Plants are photosynthetic autotrophs. What does this mean? Also asked in: Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Plants are photosynthetic autotrophs, which means that they are able to produce their own food through the process called photosynthesis In photosynthesis, plants use light, water, and carbon dioxide to create glucose, which they convert to cellulose and use to make new cells Hence, that is why, Plants are called photosynthetic autotrophs
- 6. Cold foods should be kept at a temperature of
Options- A. < 5 deg Celcius
- B. > 18 deg Celcius
- C. > 41 deg Celcius
- D. < -18 deg Celcius Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, Analyst, Bank Clerk
Correct Answer: < 5 deg Celcius
Explanation:
To reduce the risk of bacterial contamination, many foods must be stored in the refrigerator and thus kept below 5 degrees Celsius. These foods are often classified as ?high-risk foods? and include ? meat, poultry, dairy, seafood, eggs, smallgoods and cooked rice and pasta. This also refers to ready-to-eat foods that have high-risk foods as ingredients and include ? casseroles, quiche, pasta salad, pizza, sandwiches and many cakes.
By keeping these high-risk foods under 5 degrees Celsius it stops them from entering the ?danger-zone? ? temperatures between 5 degrees Celsius and 60 degrees Celsius. The danger-zone is the temperature zone which provides bacteria with the perfect environment to rapidly grow and multiply to numbers that cause food poisoning.
- 7. Plant cell walls consist mainly of
Options- A. Chitin
- B. peptidoglycan
- C. cellulose
- D. chlorophyll Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: cellulose
Explanation:
Plant cell walls are mostly made up of the molecule cellulose. Cellulose is a polysaccharide, a complex sugar made of long chains of glucose.
The cell wall must be made of thick and strong material as it provides the structural shape of the plant and protection from insects and microorganisms.
- 8. Which of these is an example of negative feedback?
Options- A. After you eat, insulin stimulates the lowering of blood sugar levels.
- B. Once labor begins, contractions increase in frequency and intensity.
- C. After you eat, glucagon stimulates an increase in blood sugar levels.
- D. As a blood clot begins to form, the process of its formation gets faster and faster. Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: After you eat, insulin stimulates the lowering of blood sugar levels.
Explanation:
Eating raises blood sugar levels, insulin stimulates the lowering of blood sugar level. In this example the response to the stimulus (increased blood sugar levels) opposes that stimulus (by lowering blood sugar levels).
- 9. Which of the following statements describes the glycemic index of foods?
Options- A. the extent to which a given food raises blood glucose and insulin levels
- B. the amount of insulin required to metabolize 100 grams of glucose
- C. an individual?s glucose/insulin ratio in a fasted state
- D. the glucose content of a given food Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, Analyst, Bank PO
Correct Answer: the extent to which a given food raises blood glucose and insulin levels
Explanation:
The glycemic index or glycaemic index is a number associated with the carbohydrates in a particular type of food that indicates the effect of these carbohydrates on a person's blood glucose (also called blood sugar) level. A value of 100 represents the standard, an equivalent amount of pure glucose.
The GI represents the rise in a person's blood sugar level two hours after consumption of the food.
- 10. What is the science of mapmaking called?
Options- A. Coriography
- B. Cartography
- C. Photograrnmetry
- D. Mapping Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, GRE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Cartography
Explanation:
The art and science of map making is called Cartography.
