• It is mainly prevalent in mining, construction, manufacturing of insulation,
fireproofing, cement products etc.
• Persons with advanced cases of the disease have a dry cough.
• There is no effective treatment for asbestosis.
15. Siderosis is caused by: deposition of Iron in body tissues
• It is also known as pulmonary siderosis and is also a form of Pneumoconiosis.
• Its symptom appears in long range time. There is no cure for pulmonary siderosis.
16. What is controlled by Statin medicines? - Statin medicines are used to reduce
high risk of Cardiovascular or Heart diseases
17. Who is father of taxonomy - Carl Linnaeus
• Taxonomy is the system of classifying and naming organisms.
• It is the way living beings are divided up into Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order,
Family, Genus, Species.
18. In aerobic conditions Glucose is converted into: Pyruvate
• In aerobic conditions, glycolysis converts one molecule of glucose into two
molecules of pyruvate (pyruvic acid) and generates energy in the form of two net
molecules of ATP.
• Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol of cells in all living organisms.
19. Which vaccine is used against tuberculosis – BCG Vaccine

prerequisites for blood coagulations
• Prothrombin is an essential factor responsible for the coagulation of blood.
24. Bio-fertilizers convert nitrogen to: Ammonia
• Nitrogen fixation is a process by which nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere is
converted into ammonia (NH3) or other molecules available to living organisms.
• Nitrogen fixation is carried out naturally in the soil by nitrogen-fixing bacteria such
as Azotobacter.
25. Morphology of Chromosomes can be best studied at – Metaphase
• Metaphase is a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes
are at their second-most condensed and coiled stage (they are at their most
condensed in anaphase).
• These chromosomes, carrying genetic information, align in the equator of the cell
before being separated into each of the two daughter cells.
