Explanation / Answer

Ans.21.

The choice is (c)

Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme which breaks down Acetylcholine into acetyl and choline. Acetylcholinesterase is inhibited by pesticides such as organophosphate hence acetylcholinesterase is not available to breakdown Acetylcholine.

Ans.22.

The choice is (c)

Receptor mediated endocytosis is the process by which cell absorbs specific molecules like proteins, hormones, metabolites by inward budding of cell membrane.

Ans.23.

The choice is (e)

Cotransporter is the mechanism by which larger molecules including glucose enters the cell in presence of energy.

Ans.24.

The choice is (e)

Cell membrane is composed of proteins, cholestetol and phospholipids and is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules.
