About this paper
A Sir Adnan one-liner booklet headed '1000- PMS 2026 GK / ONE-LINER (Origionally PMS SCREENING Syllabus BREAKDOWN)' from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack (74 pp). This file publishes Q351-400 only, in the standard MCQ format with verified answers and explanations: 45 published, 5 dropped as internal duplicates of items already published from the same booklet (printed Q358 'Scurvy deficiency' = Q247 and printed Q359 'Rickets deficiency' = Q248 in the Q201-250 file, both verbatim; printed Q362 'Iodine deficiency leads to Goiter' = Q313 and printed Q364 'Zinc deficiency affects Growth & immunity' = Q314 in the Q301-350 file, same facts with wording only changed; printed Q383 'Seed germination affected by Water, oxygen & temperature' = Q344 in the Q301-350 file, same fact with wording only changed - all cross-linked, not re-extracted), 0 corrections, 0 keyFlags. No other item in Q351-400 repeats an item already published from the same booklet (checked stem by stem at >=0.8 token similarity against all earlier 1000-booklet files). Q401-1000 remain for later runs; the booklet PDF stays in work/pms-screening/.

45 solved MCQs shown directly below
Correct Answer: Insulin
Diabetes is caused by deficiency of insulin (or the body's inability to use it effectively).
Correct Answer: Autoimmune destruction of pancreas
Type 1 diabetes is due to autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas.
Correct Answer: Insulin resistance
Type 2 diabetes is due to insulin resistance, where body cells respond poorly to insulin.
Correct Answer: High blood pressure
Hypertension is also called high blood pressure.
Correct Answer: Myocardial infarction
A heart attack is medically called a myocardial infarction: death of heart muscle from blocked blood supply.
Correct Answer: Blockage or rupture of brain blood vessels
A stroke occurs due to blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain, cutting off oxygen to brain tissue.
Correct Answer: Excess calorie intake & low activity
Obesity is caused by excess calorie intake combined with low physical activity (energy intake exceeding expenditure).
Correct Answer: Vitamin A
Night blindness is caused by deficiency of vitamin A, needed for the visual pigment rhodopsin.
Correct Answer: Vitamin B12
Pernicious anaemia is due to deficiency of vitamin B12, caused by failure to absorb it (lack of intrinsic factor).
Correct Answer: Anemia
Iron deficiency leads to anaemia, because iron is needed to make haemoglobin in red blood cells.
Correct Answer: Kwashiorkor
Protein deficiency causes kwashiorkor, the severe protein-energy malnutrition marked by oedema.
Correct Answer: Marasmus
Energy deficiency causes marasmus, severe wasting from overall calorie (energy) deficiency.
Correct Answer: T-helper cells (CD4)
HIV attacks T-helper cells (CD4 cells), progressively weakening the immune system.
Correct Answer: Immune response
A vaccine stimulates an immune response, so the body recognises and fights the pathogen on later exposure.
Correct Answer: Majority of population is immune
Herd immunity occurs when a majority of the population is immune, so disease spread is interrupted.
Correct Answer: Bacterial infections
Antibiotics are used against bacterial infections; they do not work against viruses.
Correct Answer: Viral infections
Antivirals are used against viral infections.
Correct Answer: Spores
Fungi reproduce by spores (and asexually by fragmentation or budding in some forms).
Correct Answer: Single-celled eukaryotes
Protozoa are single-celled eukaryotes (their cells have a true nucleus).
Correct Answer: Metazoa
Multicellular animals are called Metazoa.
Correct Answer: Porifera
Sponges belong to the phylum Porifera (pore-bearing animals).
Correct Answer: Cnidaria
Jellyfish belong to the phylum Cnidaria (stinging-celled animals).
Correct Answer: Annelida
The earthworm belongs to the phylum Annelida (segmented worms).
Correct Answer: Chordata
Humans belong to the phylum Chordata (animals with a notochord at some life stage).
Correct Answer: Warm-blooded
Birds are warm-blooded: they maintain a constant body temperature.
Correct Answer: Cold-blooded
Reptiles are cold-blooded (ectothermic): their body temperature follows the environment.
Correct Answer: Viviparous (mostly)
Mammals are viviparous (mostly): they give birth to live young, except the egg-laying monotremes (platypus, echidnas).
Correct Answer: Water
Amphibians lay eggs in water, where their larvae (tadpoles) develop.
Correct Answer: Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
Photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air, plus water and sunlight.
Correct Answer: Oxygen (O₂)
Photosynthesis releases oxygen (O2) as a by-product.
Correct Answer: Absorbing light for photosynthesis
Chlorophyll is responsible for absorbing light for photosynthesis.
Correct Answer: Starch
Plants store energy as starch.
Correct Answer: Glycogen & fat
Humans store energy as glycogen (in liver and muscle) and fat.
Correct Answer: Flat teeth for grinding plants
Herbivorous animals have flat teeth for grinding plants.
Correct Answer: Sharp teeth for tearing flesh
Carnivorous animals have sharp teeth for tearing flesh.
Correct Answer: Combination of sharp & flat teeth
Omnivores have a combination of sharp and flat teeth, suiting a mixed plant-and-animal diet.
Correct Answer: Interaction between two species
Symbiosis is an interaction between two species living in close association.
Correct Answer: Parasite, harms host
In parasitism the parasite benefits and the host is harmed.
Correct Answer: Both species
In mutualism both species benefit.
Correct Answer: One benefits, other unaffected
In commensalism one species benefits and the other is unaffected.
Correct Answer: Nutrient recycling
Decomposers help in nutrient recycling, returning nutrients from dead matter to the soil.
Correct Answer: Producer
A food chain starts with a producer (a photosynthetic organism).
Correct Answer: Top consumer / decomposer
A food chain ends with a top consumer, with decomposers breaking down dead matter at every level.
Correct Answer: Producers
Photosynthetic organisms are called producers, because they make their own food.
Correct Answer: Primary consumers / Herbivores
Animals that eat producers are called primary consumers (herbivores).

Built by GK360 from verified bank questions — every answer rechecked before publishing. Where the source printed no options, the answer options were prepared by GK360; the questions and correct answers are the verified originals.
Questions
No. It is part 8 (Q351-400) of a Sir Adnan 1000 one-liner practice booklet prepared for PMS Screening 2026. It is published as paperType 'practice', never as a past paper, and the year 2026 is the booklet's label, not a claimed exam session.
Type 1 is autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas; Type 2 is insulin resistance, where body cells respond poorly to insulin.
Sponges: Porifera; jellyfish: Cnidaria; earthworm: Annelida; humans: Chordata.
The source prints question + answer only, no options; the options are authored distractors under the 2026-10-28 single-format decision, so optionsSource is 'authored'.
