QUESTION: 1

Major protein of connective tissue is:

A.
Myosin
B.
Melanin
C.
Collagen
D.
Keratin

Solution:

The organic portion or protein fibers found in connective tissues are either collagen, elastic, or reticular fibers. Collagen fibers provide strength to the tissue, preventing it from being torn or separated from the surrounding tissues.

QUESTION: 2

Light bands of muscle fibre are made of the protein:

A.
Tubulin
B.
Myosin
C.
Actin
D.
Myoglobin

Solution: Muscles are composed of bundles of single large cells (called muscle fibers) that form by cell fusion and contain multiple nuclei. Each muscle fiber contains many myofibrils, which are bundles of actin and myosin filaments organized These bands correspond to the presence or absence of myosin filaments.

QUESTION: 17

Fat is abundant in

A.
liver cells
B.
alveolar tissue
C.
lymph glands
D.
adipose tissue

Solution:

Adipose tissue, or fat, is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes.

Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat, although it also cushions and insulates the body.

Obesity in animals, including humans, is not dependent on the amount of body weight, but on the amount of body fat - specifically adipose tissue.

Life span of RBC is

A.
50 days
B.
75 days
C.
120 days
D.
100 days

Solution:

RBC's also known as red blood cells are formed in the bone marrow by erythropoiesis. They have an average lifespan of 120 days. After ageing, they are selectively recognized in the spleen, liver and lymph nodes by macrophages followed by phagocytosis. This process is called eryptosis
So, the correct answer is '120 days'.
