Dairy Food Science and Technology QUESTION #5991

Question 2142

In dairy microbiology, 'psychrotolerant' bacteria differ from 'psychrophilic' bacteria in that:

Psychrotolerant bacteria cannot grow above $20^{\circ}\text{C}$; psychrophilic bacteria grow optimally at $20^{\circ}\text{C}$
Psychrotolerant bacteria have optimal growth above $20^{\circ}\text{C}$ but can grow slowly at refrigeration temperatures ($0\text{–}7^{\circ}\text{C}$); psychrophilic bacteria have optimal growth below $15^{\circ}\text{C}$✔️
Psychrotolerant bacteria are heat resistant; psychrophilic bacteria are not
They are identical terms used interchangeably in dairy science

Correct Answer Logic:

True psychrophiles have optimal growth $<15^{\circ}\text{C}$ and cannot grow above $20^{\circ}\text{C}$. Psychrotolerant (psychrotrophs) bacteria grow optimally at $20\text{–}30^{\circ}\text{C}$ but can also grow at refrigeration temperatures ($0\text{–}7^{\circ}\text{C}$), though slowly. Major dairy spoilage organisms ($Pseudomonas\;fluorescens$) are psychrotolerant.

Question 2143

Expand: $(x + 5)^2$

$x^2 + 25$
$x^2 + 10x + 25$✔️
$x^2 + 5x + 10$
$2x + 10$

Correct Answer Logic:

Physics QUESTION #7076

Question 2144

A simple pendulum has a time period $T$ when measured in a stationary elevator. If the elevator begins to accelerate upwards at a rate of $g/2$, what is the new time period of the pendulum?

$\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}T$✔️
$\sqrt{3}T$
$\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}T$
$\frac{T}{\sqrt{3}}$

Correct Answer Logic:

The effective gravity $g_{eff}$ in an upward accelerating lift is $g + a = g + g/2 = 3g/2$. Since the time period $T \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{g}}$, the new period $T' = T \sqrt{\frac{g}{3g/2}} = T \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}$.

Chemistry QUESTION #5537

Question 2147

If the activation energy of a reaction is $80.9\ \text{kJ mol}^{-1}$, the fraction of molecules at 700 K having sufficient energy to react is $e^{-x}$. Find the value of $x$ (nearest integer). [Use $R = 8.31\ \text{J K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}$]

14✔️
13
12
11

Correct Answer Logic:

The fraction of molecules with energy $\geq E_a$ is given by $f = e^{-E_a/RT}$. So $x = \frac{E_a}{RT} = \frac{80900}{8.31\times700} = \frac{80900}{5817} \approx 13.9 \approx 14$.

Question 2148

Lactose intolerance occurs due to deficiency of which enzyme in the small intestine?

Lactase ($\beta$-galactosidase)✔️
Sucrase
Lipase
Amylase

Correct Answer Logic:

Lactose intolerance results from insufficient lactase ($\beta$-galactosidase) in the small intestinal brush border. Undigested lactose reaches the colon and is fermented by colonic bacteria producing short-chain fatty acids, $\text{H}_2$, $\text{CO}_2$, and $\text{CH}_4$, causing bloating, flatulence, cramping, and diarrhea.

Question 2153

The Rayleigh (energy) method for approximating the fundamental natural frequency equates:

Maximum kinetic energy to maximum potential energy: $T_{max} = V_{max}$ giving $\omega_n^2 = k/m$✔️
Mean kinetic energy to mean potential energy
Damping energy to spring potential energy
Total energy to the product of mass and stiffness

Correct Answer Logic:

Rayleigh's method: for conservative systems in harmonic motion, maximum kinetic energy $T_{max}=\frac{1}{2}m(\omega_n X)^2$ equals maximum potential energy $V_{max}=\frac{1}{2}kX^2$. Setting $T_{max}=V_{max}$: $\omega_n^2=k/m$.

Reading and Writing (Module-1) QUESTION #5404

Question 2154

Biologist Valentina Gómez-Bahamón and her team have investigated two subspecies of the fork-tailed flycatcher bird that live in the same region in Colombia, but one subspecies migrates south for part of the year, and the other doesn't. The researchers found that, due to slight differences in feather shape, the feathers of migratory forked-tailed flycatcher males make a sound during flight that is higher pitched than that made by the feathers of nonmigratory males. The researchers hypothesize that fork-tailed flycatcher females are attracted to the specific sound made by the males of their own subspecies, and that over time the females' preference will drive further genetic and anatomical divergence between the subspecies. Which finding, if true, would most directly support Gómez-Bahamón and her team's hypothesis?

The feathers located on the wings of the migratory fork-tailed flycatchers have a narrower shape than those of the nonmigratory birds which allows them to fly long distances.
Over several generations, the sound made by the feathers of migratory male fork-tailed flycatchers grows progressively higher pitched relative to that made by the feathers of nonmigratory males.✔️
Fork-tailed flycatchers communicate different messages to each other depending on whether their feathers create high-pitched or low-pitched sounds.
The breeding habits of the migratory and nonmigratory fork-tailed flycatchers remained generally the same over several generations.

Correct Answer Logic:

If the pitch difference increases over generations, it would support the hypothesis that female preference drives further divergence between the subspecies.

Chemistry QUESTION #1106

Question 2156

Which one of the following compounds can exist as cis-trans isomers?

1,1-Dimethylcyclopropane
1,2-Dimethylcyclohexane✔️
Pent-1-ene
2-Methylhex-2-ene

Correct Answer Logic:

For cis-trans isomerism in cyclic compounds, each carbon of the ring must bear two DIFFERENT substituents. 1,1-Dimethylcyclopropane: one carbon has two identical methyls → no cis-trans. 1,2-Dimethylcyclohexane: each of C1 and C2 has one methyl and one H → different groups on each → cis-trans isomers exist ✓. Pent-1-ene (CH$_2$=CHCH$_2$CH$_2$CH$_3$): terminal alkene, one end has two H → no isomerism. 2-Methylhex-2-ene: one end has two methyls → no cis-trans.

Chemistry QUESTION #1418

Question 2160

A zero-order reaction rate does not depend on:

Temperature
Pressure
Reactant concentration✔️
None of these

Correct Answer Logic:

For a zero-order reaction, the rate law is: $\text{rate} = k[\text{A}]^0 = k$. The rate is equal to the rate constant $k$ and is independent of the concentration of reactants. However, the rate constant $k$ itself depends on temperature (via the Arrhenius equation), so temperature does affect the rate — but concentration does not.
