In which direction do the ribs move during exhalation?

  1. To normal position

  2. Downwards and inwards

  3. Upwards and inwards

  4. Outwards and upwards


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ribs move downwards and inwards during exhalation as the volume decreases during exhalation.

Which of the following is another name for trachea?

  1. Air pipe

  2. Wind tube

  3. Windpipe

  4. Air passage


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Trachea is also a kind of windpipe. It is through it that oxygen reaches the lungs.

How many alveoli are contained in one lung?

  1. 6000 million

  2. 300 million

  3. 9000 million

  4. 1200 million


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

There are approximately 300 million alveoli present in each lung.

Which of the following organisms possess(es) gills for respiration?

a. Whales b. Dolphins c. Sharks d. Tadpoles

  1. a, b and c

  2. c and d

  3. b, c and d

  4. Only c


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is the correct option. Shark is a fish and possesses gills for respiration. Tadpoles have gills for respiration in water which after metamorphosis, develop into lungs.

Where does the moistening of the air take place during breathing?

  1. Trachea

  2. Epiglottis

  3. Nostrils

  4. Larynx


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The moistening of the air takes place in nostrils. Nostrils are lined with mucus which moistens the air.

Which of the following is the unit of respiration rate?

  1. Number of breaths per day

  2. Number of breaths per second

  3. Number of breaths per hour

  4. Number of breaths per minute


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Respiration rate is number of breaths per minute. Normal breathing rate for humans is 12-20 breaths per minute.

Which of the following is/are the product(s) of respiration in yeast cells?

  1. Both alcohol and lactic acid

  2. Lactic acid

  3. Glucose

  4. Alcohol


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Respiration in yeast cells is anaerobic, which yields alcohol as the byproduct.

Oxygen is distributed in the body of cockroaches through

  1. trachea

  2. spiracles

  3. Pores

  4. Vessels


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Oxygen is distributed in the body of cockroaches through network of tubes called trachea.

Where does the exchange of gases take place in mammals?

  1. Gills

  2. Spiracles

  3. Lungs

  4. Pharynx


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Mammals respire through lungs. The exchange of gases takes place in lungs.

Which chemical is used to test the presence of CO2 in exhaled air?

  1. Lime juice

  2. Limewater

  3. Lemon water

  4. Quicklime


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Limewater turns milky with CO2. Thus, it is used to test the presence of CO2 in exhaled air.

Which of the following measures should be taken for the benefit of root respiration?

  1. Providing more water to the soil

  2. Spraying air on plants

  3. Turning up the soil

  4. Adding fertilisers to the soil


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Soil should be turned up, i.e. ploughed to increase the availability of oxygen for root respiration.

Which of the following organisms breathe through its skin?

  1. Paramecium

  2. Amoeba

  3. Earthworm

  4. Frog


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Earthworm breathes through its moist skin.

Where does the exchange of gases take place during breathing?

  1. Nostrils

  2. Trachea

  3. Alveoli

  4. Bronchioles


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The exchange of gases takes place in the alveoli. The walls of the alveoli are surrounded by a network of blood capillaries. Thin walls of alveoli and capillaries allow for O2 to enter the capillaries and CO2 to enter the alveoli for exhalation.

Which structure controls the breathing movements of respiratory system?

  1. Epiglottis

  2. Pharynx

  3. Diaphragm

  4. Lung cavity


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Diaphragm controls the breathing movements of the respiratory system. It is a muscular organ which expands and relaxes during inhalation and exhalation, respectively.

Which part of the respiratory canal takes the oxygen into the lungs?

  1. Trachea

  2. Bronchi

  3. Bronchioles

  4. Alveoli


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bronchi take the O2 from trachea to the lungs. They are the first tube of respiratory canal to enter the lungs.
