Q:

Which one of the following statements regarding haemoglobin is correct?

A) Haemoglobin present in RBC can carry only oxygen but not carbon dioxide B) Haemoglobin of RBC can carry both oxygen and carbon dioxide
C) Haemoglobin of RBC can carry only carbon dioxide D) Haemoglobin is only used for blood clotting and not for carrying gases.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Haemoglobin of RBC can carry both oxygen and carbon dioxide

Explanation:

During respiration, about 97% of oxygen is transported by Red Blood Cells in blood and the remaining 3% gets dissolved in the plasma.Around 20-25% of carbon dioxide is carried by haemoglobin as carbamino-haemoglobin.

Oxygen enters the blood from the lungs and carbon dioxide is expelled out of the blood into the lungs. The blood serves to transport both gases. Oxygen is carried to the cells. Carbon dioxide is carried away from the cells.

Q:

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.

 


Most economists in the United States seem captivated by the spell of the free market. Consequently, nothing seems good or normal that does not accord with the requirements of the free market. A price that is determined by the seller or, for that matter (for that matter: so far as that is concerned), established by anyone other than the aggregate of consumers seems pernicious. Accordingly, it requires a major act of will to think of price-fixing (the determination of prices by the seller) as both "normal" and having a valuable economic function. In fact, price-fixing is normal in all industrialized societies because the industrial system itself provides, as an effortless consequence of its own development, the price-fixing that it requires. Modern industrial planning requires and rewards great size. Hence, a comparatively small number of large firms will be competing for the same group of consumers. That each large firm will act with consideration of its own needs and thus avoid selling its products for more than its competitors charge is commonly recognized by advocates of free-market economic theories. But each large firm will also act with full consideration of the needs that it has in common with the other large firms competing for the same customers.

 

Selling a commodity at a price that is not more than that charged by competitors is -

A) rejected by the free market system B) opposed by the advocates of the free market theories
C) considered suspicious by the free market theorists D) recognized by the advocates of the free market theories
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) recognized by the advocates of the free market theories
