: HINTS AND SOLUTIONS :

1 (4)
Anaemia refers to any condition in which there is
an abnormally low haemoglobin concentration
and/or blood cell count. The most common cause
is deficiency of iorn, which is an essential element
of haemoglobin molecule. Thus, the iorn
compounds in the diet will help to alleviate the
symptoms of anaemia.
2 (2)
Vitamins Disaeses Caused by
Vitamin Deficiency
Vitamin-C (ascorbic Scurvy
acid)
Vitamin- Beri-beri
B1 (thiamine)
Vitamin-B3 (niacin) Pellagra
Vitamin-A(retinol) Night
blindness(nyctalopia)
3 (2)
Emphysema is a chronic disease in which alveolar
walls are damaged due to which respiratory
surface is decreased. One of the major causes of
this is cigarette smoking. Emphysema is included
in a group of diseases called chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD) pulmonary to lungs.
4 (1)
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most abundant
class of antibodies found in blood serum and
lymph and active against bacteria, fungi, viruses
and foreign particles. The basic structure of all Ig
is same, i, e., made up of light and heavy
polypeptide chains , still they behave differently
in similar physiological system. IgG possesses four 12 (3)
polypeptide chains linked by disulphide bonds.
5 (4)
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a rod-shaped
bacterium named Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It
commonly affects the lungs. The bacteria damage
tissues and release a toxin named tuberculin.
6 (4)
Typhoid is caused by bacterium, Salmonella typhi.
The disease is spread by contaminated food and
water through housefly.
7 (1)
Diplococcos pneumoniae bacterium is a causative
agent of pneumonia disease in human beings. This
is a spherical shaped (coccoid) bacterium.
Generally, coccoid bacterium does not contain
flagella, this condition is known atrichous.
8 (1)
First antibiotic (penicillin) was discovered by Sir
Alexander Fleming in 1928 when was working
with bacterium Staphylococcus aureus and a
fungal contamination apparently inhibited such
bacteria.
9 (4)
The body’s first line of defense against pathogens
uses mostly physical and chemical barriers such
as sweat, skin tears mucus, stomach acid, and so
on
10 (2)
Plasmodium completes its life cycle in two hosts
(digenetic) i.e., Man and female Anopheles
mosquito
11 (1)
The thymus gland secretes thymosin hormone,
which stimulates the development of certain
kinds of white blood cells involved in producing
immunity.
Temin and Baltimore (1970) independently
discovered enzyme reverse transcriptase in
retroviruses (RNA containing viruses). This
enzyme can be used to construct a DNA copy,
called complementary DNA (cDNA), of any RNA.

 Thus, this technique can be used in identification
of disease causing infectious microbe.
13 (2)
Entamoeba histolytica.
Amoebiasis is an infection of intestine caused by
the parasite Entamoeba histolytica
14 (1)
Globulins are soluble in salt solutions of strong
acids and bases. These are coagulated by heat and
insoluble in pure water and moderately
concentrated salt solutions. Globulins contained
in human blood plasma are primarily involved in
defence mechanisms of the body. Some examples
are –Rabies immune globulin, RhO(D) immune
globulin, specific immune globulin, tetunas
immune globulin, etc.
15 (3)
When cattle are fed with spoilt hay to sweet
clover, which contains dicumarol, these may
suffer with vitamin-K deficiency which resulted
into prolonged bleeding or even fatal
haemorrhage.
