Question 8

A patient is advised to reduce saturated fat intake to manage hyperlipidemia. From a biochemical perspective, which of the following lipoproteins is primarily responsible for transporting cholesterol from peripheral tissues back to the liver for excretion or reprocessing, often referred to as 'good cholesterol'?

Accepted Answer

C. High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) — High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is responsible for reverse cholesterol transport, meaning it carries cholesterol from peripheral tissues back to the liver, where it can be excreted or reprocessed. This function helps prevent cholesterol accumulation in arteries, earning HDL the 'good cholesterol' designation. Chylomicrons transport dietary fats, LDL transports cholesterol from the liver to tissues ('bad cholesterol'), and VLDL transports triglycerides from the liver.

Answer

A. Chylomicrons

Answer

B. Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL)

Accepted Answer

C. Fostering a sense of human unity and equality by de-emphasizing superficial differences. — Sree Narayana Guru's 'One Caste, One Religion, One God for Man' was a profound philosophical statement aimed at transcending artificial divisions. While he did advocate for education (B) and established institutions (D), the core underlying principle of the motto itself was to foster a universal sense of human unity and equality (C), by asserting that all humans belong to one humanity, making caste and religious distinctions superficial. Promoting inter-caste marriages (A) is a social reform, but not the direct philosophical principle embedded in the motto.

Answer

Answer

B. Advocating for universal education as the primary tool for social upliftment.

Answer

D. Establishing new religious institutions open to all castes to challenge orthodox practices.

Question 10

A batch of parenteral solution causes a febrile reaction in patients. Which substance is the most likely culprit, and what process is specifically designed to remove or inactivate it from water for injection?

Accepted Answer

A. Endotoxins; distillation. — Febrile reactions (fever) following parenteral administration are most commonly caused by pyrogens, primarily bacterial endotoxins. Distillation is an effective method for producing pyrogen-free water for injection because pyrogens are non-volatile and remain in the boiling flask while water vapor is collected. Particulate matter (B) can cause embolisms, microbial contaminants (C) can cause infections (though endotoxins are from dead microbes), and heavy metals (D) cause toxicity, but endotoxins are specifically linked to febrile reactions.

Answer

B. Particulate matter; membrane filtration.

Answer

C. Microbial contaminants; autoclaving.

Answer

D. Heavy metals; ion exchange.
