Q:

Each hemoglobin molecule can transport two molecules of oxygen.

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE

Explanation:

FALSE. Each hemoglobin molecule can transport four molecules of oxygen.


 


Hemoglobin, or Hb, is a protein molecule found in red blood cells (erythrocytes) made of four subunits: two alpha subunits and two beta subunits. Heme the component of hemoglobin responsible for binding oxygen consists of an iron ion that binds oxygen and a porphyrin ring that binds the globin molecules, one molecule binds one molecule of oxygen and can bind up to four oxygen molecules.

Q:

What happens during the process of translation?

A) Transfer RNA is made from messenger RNA B) Copies of DNA molecules are made
C) The cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins D) Messenger RNA is made from DNA
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) The cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins

Explanation:

Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). During translation, an mRNA sequence is read using the genetic code, which is a set of rules that defines how an mRNA sequence is to be translated into the 20-letter code of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.

 

In short, during the process of translation source language text is conveyed to destination language.

Q:

Where are Maglev trains used?

A) London B) Russia
C) Germany D) Japan
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Japan

Explanation:

Maglev trains are used in Japan, South Korea and China only.

Maglev derived from magnetic levitation using the principle of magnetic repulsion is a system of train transportation that uses two sets of magnets, one set to repel and push the train up off the track as in levitation then another set to move the 'floating train' ahead at great speed taking advantage of no friction. Maglev trains are therefore quieter and smoother than conventional trains, and have the potential for much higher speeds

Despite over a century of research and development, maglev transport systems are in operation in just three countries Japan, South Korea and China.

 

Hence Maglev -- Magnetic-levitation.
