Related Pair Of Words/Analogy

easy
Biology

Choose the analogous pair: Cells : Cytology

A
Worms : Ornithology
B
Insects : Entomology
C
Diseases : Physiology
D
Tissues : Morphology
Explanation and memory cue

Cytology is the study of cells, so the analogous pair should be an organism and the branch of biology that studies it. Entomology is the study of insects, making 'Insects : Entomology' the correct analogous pair.

Biology

Tapeworm is related to Taeniasis in the same way as Plasmodium is related to?

A
Malaria
B
Constipation
C
Diphtheria
D
Diarrhoea
Explanation and memory cue

Taeniasis is a disease caused by the tapeworm (Taenia), just as Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite. Therefore, the relationship is between a pathogen and the disease it causes.

Biology

Insulin is to Hormone as Trypsin is to?

A
Juice
B
Liver
C
Enzyme
D
Digestion
Explanation and memory cue

Insulin is a hormone, and trypsin is an enzyme; both are biological molecules with specific functions. Therefore, the correct analogy is 'Trypsin is to Enzyme.'

Biology

Gill is related to Lamellae in the same way as Lung is related to?

A
Ribs
B
Trachea
C
Alveoli
D
Pharynx
Explanation and memory cue

Gill is composed of lamellae, which are thin plates that facilitate gas exchange in aquatic animals. Similarly, the lung contains alveoli, tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs in terrestrial animals. Hence, the analogy is correct.

Anatomical Locations

easy
Biology

Pituitary : Brain :: Thymus : ________?

A
Larynx
B
Spinal Cord
C
Throat
D
Chest
Explanation and memory cue

The pituitary gland is located in the brain, so the analogy asks for the location of the thymus gland. The thymus is located in the chest, making option D the correct answer.

Biology

Aflatoxin is related to food poisoning in the same way as histamine is related to?

A
Allergy
B
Headache
C
Anthrax
D
Contamination
Explanation and memory cue

Aflatoxin is a toxin produced by certain molds that causes food poisoning. Histamine is a chemical released during allergic reactions (type I hypersensitivity) and is primarily related to allergy symptoms such as itching, swelling, and vasodilation. While histamine can contribute to headache symptoms in some cases, its primary and direct association is with allergic reactions. Therefore, histamine is related to allergy in the same way that aflatoxin is related to food poisoning.

Biology

Hooke is related to Cells in the same way as Mulder is related to? (Hint: Mulder is a fictional character known for investigating aliens)

A
Carbohydrates
B
Minerals
C
Vitamines
D
Proteins
Explanation and memory cue

Robert Hooke is credited with the discovery and naming of 'cells' in 1665 when he observed cork under a microscope and noted the tiny compartments he called cells. Fox Mulder is a fictional FBI agent from the TV series The X-Files, known for investigating paranormal phenomena, especially aliens or extraterrestrials. The analogy is about discovery or association: Hooke is related to cells (discovery of cells), Mulder is related to aliens (investigation of aliens). Among the options given (Carbohydrates, Minerals, Vitamins, Proteins), none directly relate to Mulder or aliens. Therefore, the analogy is flawed as presented. The best correction is to replace the options with something related to aliens or extraterrestrials. Since none of the options fit, the correct answer should be changed to D (Proteins) only because it is the closest fundamental biological molecule after carbohydrates, but this is still not a good analogy. The question is fundamentally flawed and should be rephrased or replaced. However, given the current options, the best choice is D (Proteins) as it is a fundamental biological molecule like cells are fundamental units discovered by Hooke.

Biology

A disease spreading from one person or organism to another by contact is known as ________?

A
Contagious
B
Infectious
C

One who eats everything indiscriminately is known as ________?

A
Albumen
B
Adept
C
Omnivorous

Toxicology

easy
Biology

A medicine taken or given to counteract a particular poison is known as _________?

A
antidote
B
antitoxin
C
Adderall
D
A & B
Explanation and memory cue

An antidote is a medicine used to counteract a poison, and an antitoxin is a specific type of antidote that neutralizes toxins. Therefore, both A and B are correct answers, making option D (A & B) the best choice.
