BIOCHEMISTRY QUIZ 5 (Testable One)
Question 1
Biochemistry is the study of biomolecule and metabolic process which occur in the living organism
*
A. True
B. False
Question 2
Endocytosis is the process by which cell take in substance from outside the cell by engulfing them.
*
A. True
B. False
Question 3
Calciferol Also is known us vitamin D, and have two type where there is ergocalciferol which is vitamin D2 and comes from plant based source while cholecalciferol which is vitamin D3 and comes from animal based source
*
A. True
B. False
Question 4
Acid-base balance, also known as pH balance, refers to the tightly regulated equilibrium between acids and bases in the body fluids, primarily blood. The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, with 7 being neutral. Blood pH is slightly alkaline, typically ranging from 7.35 to 7.45.
*
A. True
B. False
Question 5
Which of the following is NOT a primary mechanism for maintaining acid-base balance in the human body?
*
A. Buffer systems
B. Respiratory system
C. Endocrine system
D. Renal system
Question 6
Respiratory Acidosis is condition where the lungs cannot effectively remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the body. This leads to an accumulation of CO2 in the blood, which increases the acidity of the blood and can Caused by Respiratory problems: Conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, asthma, and airway obstruction can impair breathing and lead to respiratory acidosis and Medications, Certain medications, such as opioids, can depress breathing and contribute to respiratory acidosis and also Nervous system disorders, Conditions like brain injury or stroke can affect the respiratory centers in the brain, leading to impaired breathing and there Symptoms include Headache, Confusion Rapid(shallow breathing), Sleepiness or drowsiness, Rapid heartbeat. For Example A patient with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may experience difficulty exhaling carbon dioxide effectively. Over time, this can lead to a buildup of CO2 in the blood, resulting in respiratory acidosis.
*
A. True
B. False
Question 7
Respiratory Alkalosis is a condition where the body eliminates too much CO2 through rapid or deep breathing (hyperventilation). This leads to a decrease in CO2 levels in the blood, making it more alkaline and is Caused by Anxiety or panic attacks where these can trigger rapid, deep breathing, leading to hyperventilation and respiratory alkalosis and also Pain where Severe pain can also stimulate rapid breathing and contribute to respiratory alkalosis and Certain medications where Some medications can stimulate breathing and increase the risk of respiratory alkalosis and have some Symptoms include Dizziness or lightheadedness, Tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, Muscle spasms or cramps, Rapid heartbeat, Shortness of breath. For Example A person experiencing a panic attack may start to hyperventilate, breathing rapidly and deeply. This rapid breathing can lead to excessive loss of CO2 from the blood, causing respiratory alkalosis.
*
A. True
B. False
Question 8
Which of the following is NOT a major type of RNA?
*
A. Messenger RNA (mRNA)
B. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
C. Transfer RNA (tRNA)
D. Nuclear DNA (nDNA)
Question 9
Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate. It is a fundamental process in cellular respiration and occurs in the cytoplasm of most living cells.
*
A. True
B. False
Question 10
Glycogenesis is the metabolic process of synthesizing glycogen from glucose where Glycogen is a highly branched polymer of glucose that serves as the primary storage form of glucose in animals, primarily found in the liver and skeletal muscle cells.
*
A. True
B. False
