Which of the following organisms release ammonia as a major excretory product?

  1. Land snails

  2. Bony fishes

  3. Birds

  4. Snakes


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ammonia, urea and uric acid are the excretory products in different animals. Ammonia is an excretory product in gaseous form in fishes, uric acid (white in colour) is in birds and urea is an excretory product in human beings.

Which part of the plants is mainly involved in the evaporation of water?

  1. Stem

  2. Stomata

  3. Roots

  4. Veinlets


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The leaves of a plant have small pores which are known as stomata. The function of stomata is to evaporate excess of water from leaves and exchange of gases.

As oxygen binding is to RBC, clotting is to

  1. white blood cells

  2. plasma

  3. platelets

  4. haemoglobin


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Each component of blood plays a role in particular. For example, RBC in respiration process by binding haemoglobin with oxygen, platelets in the clotting of blood and white blood cells as defensive agents by acting against germs.

Which of the following is the measure of heartbeat per minute?

  1. Blood pressure

  2. Breathing rate

  3. Pulse rate

  4. Heart rate


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The number of times a heartbeats in a minute is known as pulse rate. The average pulse rate of a resting person is usually 72 - 80 beats per minute.

Which of the following pairs is incorrectly matched?

  1. Pulmonary vein - deoxygenated blood

  2. Heart - circulatory system

  3. Transpiration - plant conduction

  4. RBC - haemoglobin


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood, and not deoxygenated blood. Therefore, option (1) is the correct answer.

Stimulation of the vagus nerve will make the heartbeat

  1. faster

  2. 40 times per minute

  3. slower

  4. normal


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Stimulation of the vagus nerve will make the heartbeat slower.

Which one of the following functions is not performed by blood?

  1. To transport nutrients to various parts of the body

  2. To fight against infection

  3. To carry oxygen to various parts of the body

  4. To help form clot


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Blood is the fluid tissue which transports oxygen and nutrients to various parts of body. Platelets in blood also help in blood clotting during any cut or wound. Red blood cells contain haemoglobin which is a respiratory pigment and WBC fights against infections.

Therefore, statement (2) is incorrect. Thus, it is the correct answer.

Roots absorb water and minerals required by a plant for the production of food in leaves. How does the food reach the roots?

  1. Through stomata

  2. Through phloem

  3. Through xylem

  4. Through root hairs


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Vascular tissue called phloem transports the food produced in leaves to different parts of  plant.

Which of the following prevent(s) back flow of blood in veins?

  1. Thin walls

  2. Low pressure of blood flow

  3. Valves

  4. Elastic fibres in the walls of veins


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Veins are thin-walled blood vessels which carry deoxygenated blood from all parts of the body to heart. The valves present in veins prevent the back flow of blood.

The right side of heart deals with

  1. oxygenated blood

  2. deoxygenated blood

  3. mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood

  4. Either (1) or (2)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The right side of heart deals with deoxygenated blood.

Minerals are absorbed into cells by

  1. osmosis

  2. diffusion

  3. active transport

  4. Any of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Minerals are absorbed into cells by active transport.

A student took four test tubes containing blood samples. Each of them is deficient in one blood component as follows:

Test tube A - Deficient in RBCs Test tube B - Deficient in leucocytes Test tube C - Deficient in platelets Test tube D - Deficient in both leucocytes and platelets

Which of the following test tubes will show unusual colour of blood?

  1. Test tube C

  2. Test tube D

  3. Test tube B

  4. Test tube A


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Blood is red in colour due to haemoglobin present in the red blood cells. Therefore, test tube A will show unusual colour of blood because of deficiency in red blood cells.

Heart of a fish is special because

  1. it has no blood at all

  2. it only has arterial blood

  3. it only has venous blood

  4. it has partly arterial and partly venous blood


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Heart of a fish is special because it only has venous blood.

The cells that are rigid and full of water are called

  1. support cells

  2. flaccid

  3. turgid

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The cells that are rigid and full of water are called turgid.
