MCQs-Biology-Evolution and biochemistry multiple choice questions 1. Why carbon is present in most of the biochemicals? It is abundant in the environment It is the most suitable element for biomolecule formation because of its unique chemical properties All the carbon containing compounds have low activation energy thereby speeding up the reactions Other elements preferentially react with carbon None 2. Triple alpha process is A process of synthesis of carbon element A process of burning of hydrogen A fusion reaction that results in the formation of heavy nuclei A process of death of the star None 3. Which of the following defines the process of respiration The process of synthesis of oxygen from the splitting of two H2O molecules The transfer of electron to O2 by other energy yielding molecules Transfer of electron to any molecule with the emission of energy The process of oxidation through fermentation None 4. Majority volume of the living body is occupied by Carbon Water Empty spaces called as vacuoles None of the above None 5. Glucose phosphate is a part of the nucleic acids backbone True False None 6. Which of the following elements make >99% of the dry living matter? H,O,N , C H, C, S, N H, N, Ca, Na C, N, H, Na None 7. Carbon element, Has atomic number of six Has atomic mass of 12 Is considered as a standard in determining the atomic mass All of the above None of the above None 8. Which of the following is TRUE? >99% mass of the living matter is formed of H,O,N and C All the elements from periodic table are essential for the life on earth Only about 30 elements from periodic table participate in the making of life on earth 1 & 3 1 & 2 None 9. Most polymeric molecules are thermodynamically unstable but kinetically stable. True False None 10. Choose what’s correct about the following statements A. Diamond has shining property because of the special crystal structureB. Diamond and coal both are made of carbon Statement A is true but it is not an explanation for statement B Statement A is true and it shines because it is made of shiny calcium crystals Statement A and B both are incorrect Statement A and B are true None 11. Water is present in abundant quantity in all the living organism and the reason is, Polarity and hydrogen bond forming ability of the water Size of the molecule Tetrahedral structure of the molecule None of the above None 12. Which of the following property of the carbon is advantageous for life on earth? It can form long chain carbon compounds It can form ring structured compounds It forms stable covalent bonds with other elements All of the above None of the above None 13. Which of the following is NOT correct about carbon element? It can attain a stable electronic configuration by sharing 4 electron It can form stable covalent bond than any other element with the valency of 4 Carbon can form 1, 2 and 3 stable covalent bond with itself It can not form a covalent bond with 4 different types of element limiting the variety of molecules it can form. None 14. What is TRUE about the covalent bonds of silicon and carbon C-C covalent bonds are stronger than Si-Si bonds Si-Si covalent bonds are stronger than C-C bonds C-C covalent bonds are stable than Si-Si bonds C-C covalent bond has high bond energy than Si-Si- bonds All of the above 1 & 4 None 15. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about silicon and carbon Both the elements belong to same group in the periodic table and may have common chemical properties Bothe elements have valency of 4 Silicon is an alternate element for the replacement carbon in biomolecules All of the above None of the above None Please fill in the comment box below.
