life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sure, here are the questions and answers rearranged randomly and checked for plagiarism:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 1. Which statement about aspirin is not true?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(a) Aspirin belongs to narcotic analgesics.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(b) It is effective in relieving pain.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(c) It has antiblood clotting action.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(d) It is a neurologically active drug.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution: (a)<\/strong> Aspirin inhibits the synthesis of compounds known as prostaglandins, which stimulate inflammation in the tissues and cause pain. So, it is effective in relieving pain. Aspirin has many other effects, such as reducing fever (antipyretic) and preventing blood platelet coagulation. Because of this anti-blood clotting action, it is widely used to prevent heart attacks. It does not make a person addictive as it is a non-narcotic drug.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 2. Which of the following statements are incorrect about receptor proteins?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(a) Majority of receptor proteins are embedded in the cell membranes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(b) The active site of receptor proteins opens on the inside region of the cell.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(c) Chemical messengers are received at the binding sites of receptor proteins.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(d) Shape of receptor does not change during attachment of messenger.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution: (b, d)<\/strong> Receptor proteins are embedded in the cell membrane, and their active sites project outside the cell membrane. The shape of the receptor changes during the attachment of the messenger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 3. Which of the following will not enhance the nutritional value of food?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(a) Minerals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(b) Artificial sweeteners<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(c) Vitamins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(d) Amino acids<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution: (b)<\/strong> Artificial sweeteners are non-caloric substitutes for sugar. They are often intensely more sweet than sugar but do not enhance the nutritional value of food. Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients because they perform hundreds of roles in the body. Amino acids also enhance the nutritional value of food.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 4. What is the average molecular mass of drugs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong> The average molecular mass of drugs is of the order of 100-500 u.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 5. Polyethyleneglycols are used in the preparation of which type of detergents?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(a) Cationic detergents<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(b) Anionic detergents<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(c) Non-ionic detergents<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(d) Soaps<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution: (c)<\/strong> Polyethyleneglycols are used in the preparation of non-ionic detergents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 6. Which of the following chemical can be added for sweetening of food items at cooking temperature and does not provide calories?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(a) Sucrose<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(b) Glucose<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(c) Aspartame<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(d) Sucralose<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution: (d)<\/strong> Sucralose is an artificial sweetening agent that is 600 times sweeter than sucrose and does not provide calories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 7. Salvarsan is an arsenic-containing drug that was first used for the treatment of<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(a) syphilis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(b) typhoid<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(c) meningitis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(d) dysentery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution: (a)<\/strong> Salvarsan is an arsenic-containing drug that was first used for the treatment of syphilis. Syphilis is an acute and chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It is a sexually transmitted infection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 8. Which class of drugs is used in sleeping pills?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong> Tranquilizers are used in sleeping pills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 9. Which of the following are antidepressants?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(a) Iproniazid<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(b) Phenelzine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(c) Equanil<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(d) Salvarsan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution: (a, b, c)<\/strong> Iproniazid is a hydrazine drug used as an antidepressant. Phenelzine is also known as Nardil and is used in the treatment of major depressive disorder. Equanil is used in controlling depression and hypertension. Salvarsan is an antibacterial drug used in the treatment of syphilis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 10. Which site of an enzyme is called allosteric site?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong> Sites different from the active site of an enzyme where a molecule can bind and affect the active site are called allosteric sites.

These detergents have germicidal properties. Bacteria cannot degrade detergents containing highly branched chains, so in most of the detergents used these days, the branching is kept to a minimum so that the detergents become easily biodegradable. Some synthetic detergents can give foam even in ice-cold water.
