What does Kerala Plus Two Home Science (DHSE) cover?

It assesses Higher Secondary Home Science domains including food and nutrition, human development, textiles and clothing, resource management, family studies, hygiene and sanitation, and community nutrition, with practical skills assessed separately under DHSE rules.

What is the official TE, CE, and practical format?

Home Science is assessed as Terminal Evaluation (TE) theory (mixed written paper, commonly about 2–2.5 hours including cool-off), Continuous Evaluation (CE), and practical work. Always verify the current DHSE Kerala circular and scheme of examination for marks split and internal choice.

Is the official exam pure multiple choice?

No. The official paper is a mixed written theory exam with short and long answers plus CE and practical components. This free bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for concept practice only—not an official-format simulation, practical substitute, or translation of the board paper.

Why does examQuestions say not-published?

DHSE Kerala does not publish a permanent pure-MCQ item total for Plus Two Home Science. Scheme section marks and internal choice change how many items candidates attempt. This practice bank therefore uses examQuestions not-published and provides 100 free MCQs for revision only.

Who administers the exam?

The Directorate of Higher Secondary Education (DHSE), Kerala, under the Directorate of General Education, Government of Kerala, conducts Higher Secondary (Plus Two) public examinations.

Where can I find official notifications and schemes?

Check dhsekerala.gov.in, hseportal.kerala.gov.in, and SCERT Kerala portals for the current year’s Home Science scheme, timetable, practical guidelines, and result notifications.

1Carbohydrates are chemically classified as:

A.Saccharides

B.Amino acids

C.Fatty acids

D.Sterols

Explanation: Carbohydrates are chemically known as saccharides (mono-, di-, and polysaccharides). Amino acids build proteins; fatty acids and sterols relate to lipids.

2How much energy does 1 gram of pure protein yield approximately?

A.7 kcal

B.2 kcal

C.4 kcal

D.9 kcal

Explanation: Physiological energy values used in nutrition teaching are about 4 kcal/g for protein and carbohydrate and about 9 kcal/g for fat. Claiming 9 kcal/g for protein is a common exam trap.

3How much energy does 1 gram of pure fat yield approximately?

A.1 kcal

B.12 kcal

C.9 kcal

D.4 kcal

Explanation: Fats are the most energy-dense macronutrient at about 9 kcal per gram, which is why high-fat foods contribute more energy per unit weight than protein or carbohydrate.

4Fat-soluble vitamins include:

A.Vitamin C and thiamine only

B.Niacin and riboflavin only

C.Vitamins A, D, E and K

D.Vitamins B-complex and C only

Explanation: Vitamins A, D, E and K dissolve in fat and are stored in body fat/liver; B-complex and C are water-soluble and need more regular intake.

5RDA in nutrition stands for:

A.Restricted Diet Amount

B.Regional Diet Assessment

C.Recommended Dietary Allowance

D.Required Daily Average

Explanation: Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is the average daily nutrient intake level sufficient to meet the requirements of nearly all healthy individuals in a life-stage and gender group.

6Which vitamin is commonly called the sunshine vitamin?

A.Vitamin K

B.Vitamin B12

C.Vitamin C

D.Vitamin D

Explanation: Vitamin D is synthesised in skin exposed to sunlight (UVB), so it is widely nicknamed the sunshine vitamin. Vitamin K is anti-haemorrhagic; C prevents scurvy.

7Which vitamin is classically called the anti-haemorrhagic vitamin?

A.Vitamin A

B.Vitamin K

C.Vitamin D

D.Vitamin E

Explanation: Vitamin K is essential for synthesis of clotting factors; deficiency prolongs bleeding. Hence it is called the anti-haemorrhagic vitamin.

8Which vitamin is traditionally nicknamed the anti-sterility vitamin in many Home Science texts?

A.Vitamin K

B.Vitamin E

C.Vitamin C

D.Vitamin B1

Explanation: School-level Home Science materials commonly label Vitamin E as the anti-sterility vitamin (tocopherol), though modern clinical framing emphasises its antioxidant role.

9A balanced diet is best defined as a diet that:

A.Contains only proteins in large amounts

B.Excludes all fats completely

C.Is limited to raw vegetables only

D.Provides all essential nutrients in the right proportions for age, sex and activity

Explanation: A balanced diet supplies adequate energy and essential nutrients in proportions matching physiological needs for age, sex, activity and physiological state.

10Which food group is the richest everyday source of high biological value protein among the following?

A.Tea and coffee only

B.Eggs, milk, fish and flesh foods

C.Refined sugar and jaggery only

D.Clear oils and ghee only

Explanation: Animal foods such as eggs, milk, fish and meat provide complete/high biological value proteins with all essential amino acids in good proportions.
