1In the human cell membrane, the Na+/K+-ATPase primary active transport pump moves ions across the plasma membrane in which stoichiometric ratio and direction per ATP hydrolyzed?

A.3 Na+ ions out of the cell and 2 K+ ions into the cell

B.2 Na+ ions out of the cell and 3 K+ ions into the cell

C.3 Na+ ions into the cell and 2 K+ ions out of the cell

D.1 Na+ ion out of the cell and 1 K+ ion into the cell

Explanation: The sodium-potassium pump (Na+/K+-ATPase) hydrolyzes one molecule of ATP to export 3 Na+ ions into the extracellular fluid and import 2 K+ ions into the cytosol, maintaining resting membrane potential.

2Which organelle contains hydrolytic acid enzymes active at pH ~5.0 responsible for intracellular digestion and autophagy?

A.Lysosome (Lizosom)

B.Peroxisome (Peroksisom)

C.Golgi apparatus (Golgijev aparat)

D.Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation: Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing acid hydrolases (proteases, nucleases, lipases) that degrade endocytosed macromolecules and worn-out organelles at low pH maintained by proton pumps.

3During eukaryotic mRNA translation, which codon serves as the universal initiation start codon coding for methionine?

A.AUG

B.UAA

C.UAG

D.UGA

Explanation: AUG is the universal start codon that initiates translation by recruiting tRNA carrying formylmethionine/methionine to the ribosomal P site.

4According to Chargaff's rules, if a double-stranded DNA sample contains 28% Cytosine, what is the percentage of Adenine in the sample?

A.22%

B.28%

C.44%

D.14%

Explanation: In double-stranded DNA, %C = %G = 28%, giving a combined C+G content of 56%. The remaining A+T content is 100% - 56% = 44%. Since %A = %T, %A = 44% / 2 = 22%.

5A mother with blood group A (heterozygous I^A i) and a father with blood group B (heterozygous I^B i) can have children with which blood groups?

A.Groups A, B, AB, and O (all four phenotypes with equal 25% probability)

B.Only group AB

C.Only groups A and B

D.Only groups AB and O

Explanation: The cross I^A i x I^B i yields four possible genotypes in equal proportions: I^A I^B (Type AB, 25%), I^A i (Type A, 25%), I^B i (Type B, 25%), and ii (Type O, 25%).

6Hemophilia A is an X-linked recessive disorder. If a carrier female (X^H X^h) marries a healthy male (X^H Y), what is the probability that their son will be affected by hemophilia?

A.50% of their sons (1 in 2)

B.100% of their sons

C.25% of their sons

D.0% of their sons

Explanation: For male offspring (XY), the father always contributes the Y chromosome. The mother contributes X^H (healthy) with 50% probability or X^h (hemophiliac) with 50% probability. Thus, 50% of sons will inherit hemophilia.

7Where does the electrical impulse that initiates the normal heartbeat originate under physiological conditions (the primary cardiac pacemaker)?

A.Sinoatrial node (SA čvor / SA node)

B.Atrioventricular node (AV čvor)

C.Bundle of His (Hisov snop)

D.Purkinje fibers (Purkinjeova vlakna)

Explanation: The Sinoatrial (SA) node located in the superior posterolateral wall of the right atrium spontaneously depolarizes at the highest intrinsic rate (60–100 bpm), serving as the heart's natural primary pacemaker.

8In the human nephron, where does the majority (~65-70%) of water, sodium, and 100% of glucose and amino acids reabsorption occur?

A.Proximal convoluted tubule (Proksimalni zavijeni kanalić)

B.Descending limb of the Loop of Henle

C.Distal convoluted tubule

D.Medullary collecting duct

Explanation: The proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) has extensive microvilli (brush border) and reabsorbs ~65–70% of filtered water and NaCl, and virtually 100% of glucose (via SGLT2/SGLT1) and amino acids.

9Which class of immunoglobulins is the most abundant in human serum and is the only antibody capable of crossing the placenta to confer passive immunity to the fetus?

A.IgG

B.IgA

C.IgM

D.IgE

Explanation: IgG comprises approximately 75–80% of total serum antibodies, provides secondary immune response protection, and actively crosses the placental syncytiotrophoblast via the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn).

10Which hormone is synthesized by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas to lower blood glucose concentration?

A.Insulin (Insulin)

B.Glucagon (Glukagon)

C.Somatostatin

D.Cortisol

Explanation: Beta cells secrete insulin in response to elevated blood glucose, promoting cellular glucose uptake (via GLUT4 translocation in muscle/adipose tissue) and glycogen synthesis.

About the UNSA Medicine Entrance Exam Exam

The Prijemni ispit at the Medicinski fakultet of the Univerzitet u Sarajevu (UNSA) is the mandatory faculty-specific entrance examination for candidates applying to the 6-year integrated undergraduate/graduate Medicine degree programme (Integrirani studij medicine). Regulated by the faculty Odluka o kriterijima and the UNSA Konkurs under the Law on Higher Education of Sarajevo Canton, the examination evaluates deep competency in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics based on the faculty's published Zbirka zadataka.

Assessment

A single written examination covering Biology, Chemistry and Physics, sat in the Faculty amphitheatres. Every candidate receives a copy of their completed test after the sitting.

Time Limit

Not published by the faculty; the 2026/2027 first-round sitting began at 08:00 on 2 July 2026

Passing Score

At least 50% on the overall exam AND minimum 40% in each individual subject (Biology, Chemistry, Physics); the exam is eliminatory, so a candidate who misses either threshold is not ranked
