  3. Amoeba

  4. Bacteria

  5. Leech


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Organisms feed on dead and decaying plants or animals, which is known as saprophytic nutrition, e.g. Fungi, Bacteria, etc.

_______ is the process in which digested food is broken down with the help of oxygen to release energy.

  1. Nutrition

  2. Excretion

  3. Respiration

  4. Transportation

  5. Reproduction


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Respiration - The process by which digested food is broken down with the help of oxygen to release energy.

Which of the following steps is not included in holozoic nutrition?

  1. Ingestion

  2. Excretion

  3. Digestion

  4. Absorption

  5. Assimilation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The process of removal of waste products from the body is called excretion. This step not included in holozoic nutrition.

Digestion of food material ingested by a man does not take place in

  1. mouth

  2. large intestine

  3. stomach

  4. small intestine

  5. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The process of digestion does not take place in this region. It simply secretes mucus, which serves as a lubricant for easy passage of the undigested matter in the form of faeces.

Which process is used for expelling out the undigested food?

  1. Ingestion

  2. Assimilation

  3. Egestion

  4. Excretion

  5. Digestion


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Expelling out the undigested food material from a cell

What is the role of hydrochloric acid in human body?

  1. Digestion of proteins

  2. Killing of harmful bacteria

  3. Protection of the inner lining of the stomach

  4. Breakdown of large fats

  5. Conversion of carbohydrates to glucose


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

HCl kills many bacteria and other microorganisms that enter along with the food.

Which of the following is not a reason due to which multicellular organisms need more oxygen than unicellular organisms?

  1. The rate of respiration is much higher in multicellular organisms than in unicellular organisms.

  2. Multicellular organisms are made of billions of cells.

  3. Cells are not directly in contact with the environment or air.

  4. In blood, oxygen is slowly taken up by haemoglobin.

  5. The absorbed oxygen is rapidly transported to all the cells.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In multicellular organisms the blood oxygen is very quickly taken up by haemoglobin in the red blood cells making the process of diffusion faster.

Which of the following enzymes is related to saliva?

  1. Catalase

  2. Amylase

  3. Lipase

  4. Pepsin

  5. Trypsin


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Amylase enzyme secreted in saliva helps break down starch. 

How many heart chambers are present in fish?

  1. 13

  2. 5

  3. 3

  4. 2

  5. 4


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Fish have a 2-chambered heart with a single atrium and a single muscular ventricle. 

Which of the following raw materials is not necessary for the process of photosynthesis?

  1. Sunlight

  2. Water

  3. Chlorophyll

  4. Carbon dioxide

  5. Soil


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Soil is not a raw material. In the roots, the surface cells are in contact with soil particles and soil water. Ions and water are absorbed from the soil. Soil itself is not acting as a raw material.

______ is the process in which movement of molecules from one region to another in accordance to concentration gradient takes place.

  1. Osmosis

  2. Transportation

  3. Diffusion

  4. Translocation

  5. Circulation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Diffusion isn the process of movement of molecules from one region to another in accordance to concentration gradient, i.e. from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.

Which of the following characteristics is related to the complex tissue xylem?

  1. It has only one type of dead cells.

  2. It is a complex tissue which transports sap.

  3. Conduction is inhibited by heat.

  4. Transport takes place due to the presence of positive pressure.

  5. It is a complex tissue which takes part in transport of food.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Xylem is a complex tissue which transports sap (water and minerals).

The inner wall of small intestine has many finger-like structures called

  1. villi

  2. capillaries

  3. rings of cartilage

  4. arteries

  5. veins


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The inner wall of small intestine has many finger-like structures called villi which play an important role in increasing the surface area for absorption.

Which component of transport system in human beings carries blood towards the heart?

  1. Arteries

  2. Blood platelets

  3. Lymph

  4. Veins

  5. Capillaries


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Veins carry blood towards the heart. Superior and inferior vena cava perform this function.

Which of the following is not a function of blood?

  1. Maintenance of water balance

  2. Transport of food

  3. Chemical coordination

  4. Cutting and tearing solid food into small pieces

  5. Maintenance of pH


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cutting and tearing the solid food into small pieces is common for ingestion which is done by teeth in mouth and then various enzymes in alimentary canal.
