The fatty acids can be transported into and out of mitochondria through:

Here are the answers to the questions:

8. The fatty acids can be transported into and out of mitochondria through
Long-chain fatty acids require specific transport systems, like the carnitine shuttle, to enter the mitochondria, which is a form of facilitated transfer. Shorter chain fatty acids can diffuse.

• B. Facilitated transfer

9. The most active site of protein synthesis is the
Ribosomes are the cellular organelles responsible for protein synthesis (translation).

• B. Ribosome

10. Two sugars which differ from one another only in configuration around a single carbon atom are termed
Epimers are stereoisomers that differ in configuration at only one chiral center.

• A. Epimers

11. Increased glucose consumption increases the dietary requirement for
Thiamin (Vitamin B1) is a crucial coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism, particularly in pathways that process glucose.

• D. Thiamin

12. Which of the following is a reducing sugar?
A reducing sugar has a free anomeric carbon. Isomaltose has a free anomeric carbon and can act as a reducing agent. Sucrose and trehalose are non-reducing sugars.

• C. Isomaltose

13. The sugar found in milk is
Lactose is the primary sugar found in milk, composed of glucose and galactose.

• D. Lactose

14. The polysaccharide used in assessing the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is
Inulin is used to measure GFR because it is freely filtered by the glomerulus and is neither reabsorbed nor secreted by the renal tubules.

• C. Inulin

15. Sucrose consists of
Sucrose is a disaccharide formed by the glycosidic linkage between one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose.

• B. Glucose + fructose
