Which nutrient is important for building strong muscle ?
- A.
Fat
- B.
Sugar
- C.
Starch
- D.
Protein
Correct Answer
D. ProteinExplanation
Protein is important for building strong muscles because it is made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of muscle tissue. When we consume protein, our body breaks it down into amino acids and uses them to repair and build new muscle fibers. Protein also helps to increase muscle mass and strength by stimulating muscle protein synthesis. Fat, sugar, and starch do not have the same muscle-building properties as protein, making protein the correct answer.Rate this question:

Which of the following air pollutants combines with the haemoglobin in the red blood cell?
- A.
Carbon dioxide
- B.
Nitrogen Dioxide
- C.
Sulphur Dioxide
- D.
Carbon Monoxide
Correct Answer
D. Carbon MonoxideExplanation
Carbon monoxide combines with the haemoglobin in the red blood cell. This is because carbon monoxide has a strong affinity for haemoglobin, binding to it more readily than oxygen. When carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin, it forms carboxyhemoglobin, which prevents oxygen from binding to haemoglobin and reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. This can lead to a decrease in oxygen supply to the body's tissues and organs, causing symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and shortness of breath.Rate this question:

The names of three types of blood vessels found in the human circulatory system are artery, veins and
- A.
Valves
- B.
Tubules
- C.
Capillaries
- D.
Bronchioles
Correct Answer
C. CapillariesExplanation
Capillaries are tiny, thin-walled blood vessels that connect arteries and veins. They are responsible for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and the surrounding tissues. Capillaries have a large surface area and are located close to the cells, allowing for efficient exchange of substances. Unlike arteries and veins, which have thicker walls and carry blood away from and towards the heart respectively, capillaries are narrow and have one-cell-thick walls to facilitate the exchange of substances. Therefore, capillaries are one of the three types of blood vessels found in the human circulatory system.Rate this question:

Which component of the human blood transport oxygen
- A.
Platelets
- B.
Phagocytes
- C.
Lymphocytes
- D.
Red blood cell
Correct Answer
D. Red blood cellExplanation
Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, are responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body. They contain a protein called hemoglobin, which binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it to the tissues. This process is essential for delivering oxygen to cells for energy production and maintaining overall bodily functions. Platelets are involved in blood clotting, phagocytes are responsible for engulfing and destroying pathogens, and lymphocytes play a role in the immune response. However, none of these components are primarily responsible for oxygen transport.Rate this question:

Which of the following hormones regulate blood sugar level in humans
- A.
Insulin
- B.
Secretin
- C.
Prolactin
- D.
Adrenalin
Correct Answer
A. InsulinExplanation
Insulin is the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels in humans. It is produced by the pancreas and helps to lower blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells. Insulin also promotes the storage of glucose in the liver and muscles as glycogen. Without sufficient insulin, blood sugar levels can become too high, leading to a condition called hyperglycemia, which is characteristic of diabetes. Therefore, insulin plays a crucial role in maintaining normal blood sugar levels in the body.Rate this question:
