Which of the following is absent in serum?

  1. Fibrinogen

  2. Albumin

  3. Globulin

  4. Lipoprotein


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Fibrinogen is a protein. It is involved in coagulation. It is not present in serum.

Which of the following ions is present in blood plasma in maximum concentration?

  1. Potassium

  2. Sodium

  3. Chloride

  4. Calcium


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sodium ions are present in maximum concentration in blood plasma. The normal concentration range is 135 - 145 mmol/l.

Which of the following blood vessels contains impure blood?

  1. Pulmonary vein

  2. Left coronary artery

  3. Right coronary artery

  4. Pulmonary artery


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated (impure) blood to the heart.

Which of the following blood vessels collects its contents from left ventricle?

  1. Pulmonary vein

  2. Pulmonary artery

  3. Systemic aorta

  4. Vena cava


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Systemic aorta collects oxygenated blood from left ventricle and distributes it to the whole body.

Which of the following events takes place during diastole?

  1. Blood enters the lungs

  2. Blood leaves the ventricle

  3. Blood enters the aorta

  4. Blood enters the heart


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

During diastole, blood enters the heart from the venous vessel.

Why are arteries thicker than veins?

  1. Because oxygenated blood is heavier than deoxygenated blood

  2. Because they contain more volume of blood

  3. Because they receive blood at high pressure

  4. Because there are no valves in arteries


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Arteries are thicker than veins because they receive blood at very high pressure from the heart and supply it to the whole body.

Bicuspid valve is located between

  1. right atrium and pulmonary artery

  2. posterior aorta and atrium

  3. left atrium and left ventricle

  4. right atrium and right ventricle


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Bicuspid valve is present between left atrium and left ventricle. It has two flaps. It guards the opening between left atrium and left ventricle.

Which of the following is the main function of lymph nodes in mammals?

  1. Destruction of RBCs

  2. Storage of fats

  3. Formation of WBCs

  4. Destruction of pathogens


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Lymph nodes function in the destruction of pathogens. Lymphocytes in lymph destroy harmful pathogens and protect the body from various diseases.

The number of chambers in the hearts of amphibians, fish, humans and elephants respectively are

  1. 2, 3, 4 and 5

  2. 2, 3, 4 and 4

  3. 3, 2, 4 and 4

  4. 4, 2, 4 and 4


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The number of chambers in the heart of amphibians, fish, humans and elephants respectively are 3, 2, 4 and 4.

Which of the following factors increases the rate of transpiration?

  1. High humidity

  2. Wetness in the soil

  3. High temperature

  4. Low wind velocity


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Transpiration increases in high temperature.

Which of the following assist in transportation of food?

  1. Vessels

  2. Tracheids

  3. Bast fibres

  4. Companion cells


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Companion cells help the sieve tube cells in the transportation of food. Thus, they assist in translocation of food.

Systolic pressure is exerted by blood against the wall of artery during

  1. ventricular expansion

  2. ventricular contraction

  3. auricular contraction

  4. auricular expansion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

During ventricular contraction, systolic pressure is exerted by blood against the wall of artery.

In which of the following ways does root pressure help in the ascent of sap?

  1. Pumping food in phloem

  2. Pumping sap in stem for sending it to roots

  3. Pumping sap into xylem in roots

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Root pressure helps in the ascent of sap by pumping sap into xylem in roots.

Which of the following kinds of circulation is observed in amphibians and reptiles?

  1. Incomplete single circulation

  2. Single circulation

  3. Double circulation

  4. Incomplete double circulation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In amphibians and reptiles, incomplete double circulation is observed. In incomplete double circulation, the blood comes to the heart through two different routes, but goes out through a single route.

Dendritic cells and macrophages are

  1. monocytes

  2. lymphocytes

  3. granulocytes

  4. leukocytes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Dendritic cells and macrophages are monocytes. Dendritic cells function in processing antigen material and present it on cell surface to T-cells of immune system. Macrophages function in detecting, engulfing and destroying pathogens and apoptotic cells.
