Explanation / Answer

26) Option 3 is the correct answer.

An multisubunit enzyme usually exist in a quaternary protein struction. Dissociation of the enzymatic subunits will lead to disruption in the quaternary structure of protein and loss of activity of enzyme. Tertiary is the 3-dimensional, functional form of a protein, however it usually consists of one polypeptide subunit only, hence a multisubunit enzyme has a quaternary structure.

27) Option 2 is the correct answer.

The process of synthesis of protein from DNA involves 2 steps. The first step is Transcription which uses DNA as a template to form Messenger RNA copies which then undergo through Translation which is the second step of the protein synthesis mechanism to provide polypeptide chains. DNA cannot be directly converted to protein since it cannot be transported outside nucleus in cytoplasm where protein synthesis takes place, and it contains many unwanted regions that cannot be translated to give protein known as junk DNA. Also, RNA is more versatile and can be synthesized whenever necessary while DNA is present in only one copy in a cell and is synthesized only at time of cell division.

28) Option 3 is the correct answer.

Interstitial fluid is the main component of extracellular fluid, including plasma and transcellular fluid. The interstitial fluid is found in the interstices - the spaces between cells (also known as the tissue spaces).

29) Option 1 is the correct answer.

Glycocalyx is the pericellular matrix composed of glycolipids ansd glycoproteins that surround the surface of cells such as in bacteria, epithelial cells etc. This glycocalyx contribute to cell–cell recognition, communication, and intercellular adhesion as well as lubricating the cell surface in the form of slime layer in bacteria.
