The molecule’s oxidized form is NAD+, and its reduced form is NADH, which is the result of accepting two electrons and a proton, which together are equal to a hydrogen atom plus an additional electron. A compound is reduced when electrons are added.

The X chromosome contains the gene for color blindness. While females have XX chromosomes, which are inherited by both their mothers and fathers, males have XY chromosomes, which are inherited from their mothers. Because males only need one defective gene on their X chromosome to be color blind, whereas females require two defective genes, males are therefore more likely to be affected by color blindness.

Similarities in structures and forms are referred to as morphological similarities. The idea that the organisms have evolved from common ancestors is supported by these similarities. In a comprehensive series, fossils offer a visual record of an organism’s evolution. It is therefore proof that organisms evolved from a common ancestor. Additionally, vestiges support the idea that organisms evolved from a common ancestor. The historical remains of structures that served significant purposes in ancestors but are no longer necessary are known as vestigial organs.

Certain insect, arachnid, and mammal species use the XO sex-determination system (also known as the X0 sex-determination system) to identify the sex of their progeny. There is only one sex chromosome in this system, which is called X. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), whereas males only have one (XO). The female grasshopper has 24 chromosomes, while the male has 23.

Choice D During fertilization, a plant with genotype RrYy produces four different kinds of gametes. RY, Ry, rY, ry are their names. ‘Four’ is the right answer.

The goblet cells, which are mucus-secreting cells found in the tracheal and digestive tube epithelium, are the most prevalent unicellular exocrine glands.

A genetic condition known as Tay-Sachs disease gradually kills off nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain and spinal cord. It is brought on by a mutation in the gene that produces the enzyme needed to break down fatty substances.

Phosphocreatine is a secondary energy source after glucose.

The connective tissue gaps between the seminiferous tubules in the testes are home to the interstitial cells, sometimes referred to as Leydig cells. Testosterone, a crucial male sex hormone involved in the growth and maintenance of male reproductive tissues as well as secondary sexual traits, is produced and secreted by these cells. On the other hand, the testes’ seminiferous tubules are where sperm are produced.

Pyruvate kinase is the enzyme that catalyzes the final stage of glycolysis. Pyruvic acid (or its salt form, pyruvate) and a second ATP molecule are produced by substrate-level phosphorylation when the PEP is converted to pyruvate.

The presence of hemocyanin is what gives spider blood its blue color. Instead of an iron atom in the center, hemocyanin contains a copper atom that binds oxygen. Blood appears blue because it reflects blue, which is the only color it absorbs.

A complex of chlorophyll a pigment molecules known as PSI (Photosystem I) absorbs light with a wavelength of 700 nm, or the far-red end of the visible spectrum. The electron transfer chain in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis is subsequently propelled by this light energy, which eventually results in the synthesis of ATP and NADPH.

Enzyme-substrate interactions are represented by two primary models:
Model of lock and key: According to this hypothesis, the enzyme’s active site has a certain form that complements the substrate’s structure.
According to the induced fit model, the enzyme’s active site is malleable and may alter its shape to make room for the substrate.

Consequently, two models—rather than one, three, or four—represent enzyme-substrate interactions.

This structure, which usually develops if pregnancy is not achieved, is a sign of the end of the luteal phase and is formed when the corpus luteum degrades.

In eukaryotic plasma membranes, cholesterol (or other higher sterols like ergosterol and phytosterols) is always present in significant concentrations (20–40 mol%), whereas it is never found in prokaryotic membranes.

Guard cells are a component of the leaf’s epidermal layer, or epidermis, and contain chloroplasts. Indeed, they lack plasmodesmata, which are tiny channels that directly link the cytoplasm of nearby plant cells.

Plasmodesmata are found in spongy and palisade mesophyll, which are not a component of the epidermal layer.

Except for guard cells, epidermal cells do not engage in photosynthetic activity.

The fluid ejaculated from the penis during male reproduction is referred to as semen. It is a combination of different secretions from the male reproductive system and sperm. In addition to feeding and moving sperm, semen also protects them from the acidic environment of the female reproductive tract by creating an alkaline environment. It also makes it easier for sperm to pass through the female reproductive system during fertilization.

The bacterial genetic material is located in the nucleoid, a section of the cytoplasm. It is essential to the life of the organism and is found in all bacteria.

The whole cell wall of bacterial cells is thought to be one enormous molecule, or sacculus, which is a molecular complex. In certain bacteria, the cell wall is covered by capsules and grins.

Option A is the right one since Carbonic anhydrase, an enzyme found in red blood cells, helps transform carbon dioxide into bicarbonate ions and carbonic acid.

Because ‘Hyaline cartilage’ is found on the articulating surfaces of bones, in the larynx, trachea, and bronchi, and on the sternal ends of the ribs, Option A is the right choice. It provides the structures with a firm yet flexible shape. Collagen fibers give these joints and structures strength, but their flexibility and mobility are restricted. The growth plate is a thin layer of hyaline cartilage that persists between the diaphysis and epiphysis during childhood and adolescence. It creates a joint between developing bones because this hyaline cartilage will eventually be removed and replaced by bone.

This remembrance is entirely factual. In 1665, Robert Hooke made the initial discovery and gave the cell its name.

Correct answer: Bacteria are harmful because of their slime, an external covering made up of glycolipid, glycoprotein, and exopolysaccharide that envelops their cells.

The larynx, also known as the voice box, is a component of the respiratory system that contains the vocal cords, two thin, fibrous bands. When air flows through the vocal cords, they vibrate, creating sound and enabling speech.

Enzymes called hydrolases use water to break chemical bonds. By breaking down substrates into smaller molecules, they serve crucial roles in metabolism, digestion, and cellular functions. Proteases that break down proteins and lipases that break down lipids are two examples.

Due of their inability to move, plants lack flagella. Since centrioles are used to create flagella, most plants lack them. Because centrioles are absent in plants, spindle fibers originate from similar locations.
