Biology Questions

Aldosterone is a steroid hormone that is produced in the adrenal gland. It is useful and more essential for the conservation of sodium content in the kidney, salivary glands, colon and sweat glands.

Here, Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption by increasing the number of Na+-K+ ATPase pumps in the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule is the only option that is NOT correct about aldosterone.

The liver is a large, meaty organ that sits on the right side of the belly. It is the largest & heaviest internal organ in the human body.

A molecule of DNA is a polymer composed of nucleotides. Each nucleotide is composed of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), and a phosphate group.

Uracil is present in RNA and binds to adenine whereas thymine is present in DNA and binds to adenine.

Most bacteria divide by binary fission, a form of cell division in which DNA replication and segregation occur simultaneously. This process involves active partitioning of the single bacterial chromosome and positioning of the site of septation.

Bacteria reproduce by binary fission. In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells.

Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two replicates. The bacterial cell then elongates and splits into two daughter cells each with identical DNA to the parent cell. Each daughter cell is a clone of the parent cell.

Three main enzymes, pepsin secreted by the stomach and trypsin and chymotrypsin secreted by the pancreas, break down food proteins into polypeptides that are then broken down by various exopeptidases and dipeptidases into amino acids.

Hence, digestion of protein begin in stomach.

DNA is replicated during the S-Phase in the interphase of a cell.
