THEORY EXAMINATION (SEM–II) 2016-17 REMEDIAL BIOLOGY-II

This question paper evaluates fundamental concepts of microbiology, cell biology, infectious diseases, photosynthesis, viral multiplication, metabolic pathways, and human health.
It is divided into three sections testing definitions, short explanations, diagrams, and descriptive answers.

SECTION – A (7 × 2 = 14 Marks)

This section contains seven short-answer questions, requiring brief definitions or differences.
Topics include:

Domain bacteria

Gram-positive vs gram-negative bacteria

Types of bacterial cells

Amphibolic pathway

Vaccine

Natality and mortality

Differences between bacteria and archaea

This section checks basic biological terminology and core microbiology concepts.

SECTION – B (5 × 7 = 35 Marks)

Students must attempt any five descriptive questions, some requiring diagrams.
Topics include:

Types of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, protozoa, algae, viruses)

Eukaryotic cell diagram

Sexually transmitted diseases

Light and dark reactions of photosynthesis

Stages of viral multiplication

Importance of microorganisms in medicine

AIDS and its mode of transmission

Detailed diagram and explanation of animal cell

This section tests concept understanding, biological processes, disease knowledge, and diagram-based learning.

SECTION – C (2 × 10.5 = 21 Marks)

Students must attempt any two long-answer questions.

Topics include:

Cancer

Meaning, causes, types, and modes of treatment (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, immunotherapy)

Metabolic Diversity

Types of metabolism in microorganisms (autotrophic, heterotrophic, chemotrophic, phototrophic)

Krebs Cycle (TCA Cycle)

Steps, enzymes, energy yield, and significance

This section evaluates deep biological understanding, long explanations, and conceptual clarity.
