Respiration during hibernation occurs through

  1. external gills

  2. lungs and buccopharyngeal cavity

  3. moist skin

  4. external gills and lungs

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Skin contains pores through which the exchange of gases takes place.

Which of the following types of respiration yields lesser amount of energy?

  1. Anaerobic respiration

  2. Aerobic respiration

  3. Both of these

  4. None of these

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen .It yields lesser amounts of ATP than aerobic respiration, which occurs in the presence of oxygen.

Lungs are the massive paired structures whose main function is the exchange of gases. Some amount of air is always present as residual air in which part of the lungs?

  1. Alveoli

  2. Bronchus

  3. Nostrils

  4. Trachea

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Alveoli are the structures present in the lungs to increase its surface area. Residual or remaining air remains there.

What is the ratio of volume of carbon dioxide produced to the volume of oxygen consumed called?

  1. Respiratory quotient

  2. Tidal volume

  3. Total lung capacity

  4. Respiartory volume

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Respiratory quotient is the ratio of volume of carbon dioxide produced to the volume of oxygen consumed. It varies with different foods used.

According to the phenomena of conservation of energy, all forms of energy are inter convertible. Which form of energy is primarily used in respiration?

  1. Chemical

  2. Electrical

  3. Radiant

  4. Mechanical

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Chemical energy of food is used in respiration to produce oxygen.

Every vital organ is usually covered by a protective covering. Lungs are also covered by a protective outer covering known as

  1. pericardium

  2. pleura

  3. periosteum

  4. perichondrium

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Each lung is covered by a pleural membrane externally and turned back on itself to the inside of the thoracic cavity.

RBCs have the quality to change themselves according to the surrounding conditions. When a person ascends to high altitudes, what changes occur in red blood cells?

  1. Increase in size

  2. Increase in number

  3. Decrease in size

  4. Decrease in number

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

At high altitude, RBCs of human blood increase in number to accommodate larger amount of haemoglobin for the increased uptake of oxygen, which is present in lesser amounts at higher altitudes.

The exhaust released from the automobiles causes various respiratory diseases. The main culprit present in it is

  1. carbon monoxide

  2. methane

  3. chlorine

  4. nitrogen dioxide

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Carbon monoxide is the principal gas which is released in the auto mobile exhaust. It creates respiratory problems as it combines with haemoglobin faster than oxygen and it is poisonous too.

Respiratory pigments are present in the blood to help in the transport of gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen. Which pigment is present in a frog?

  1. Haemoglobin

  2. Cytochrome

  3. Hemocyanin

  4. None of these

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Haemoglobin is the respiratory pigment which occurs in the blood of a frog and other vertebrates. It can combine with oxygen and carbon dioxide and helps in their transport inside the body.

Which of the following diseases does not involve lungs?

  1. Asthma

  2. Whooping cough

  3. Common cold

  4. Pneumonia

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In common cold, the lungs are not involved. Only, the nose and nasal passages are involved.

Presence of gills in the tadpoles of frogs indicates that

  1. fishes have evolved from frog like ancestors

  2. frogs will have gills in the future

  3. frogs have evolved from gilled ancestors

  4. fishes were amphibians in the past

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Presence of gills in the tadpoles suggest that frogs or amphibians were evolved from fishes. Metamorphosis in tadpoles changed a tadpole to frog during which gills got lost.

Gills are the structures present in aquatic animals for respiration. Respiration through gills is known as

  1. cutaneous respiration

  2. buccopharyngeal respiration

  3. branchial respiration

  4. pulmonary respiration

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Branchial respiration is the respiration which occurs through gills. It mainly occurs in the aquatic animals, such as fishes.

Various animals have different respiration capacities and mechanisms. In which of the following does anaerobic respiration occur?

  1. Plants

  2. Animals

  3. Protozoa

  4. Yeast

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In yeast, anaerobic respiration occurs, i.e. they respire in the absence of oxygen.

Why do fishes in an aquarium thrive better if green plants are growing there?

  1. As they inhale oxygen released by green plants

  2. As they inhale carbon dioxide released by green plants

  3. They can feed on green plants.

  4. They provide a nice ambience.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Green plants release oxygen through photosynthesis, which is inhaled by fishes, so they thrive well here.

Which statement is true about buccopharyngeal respiration in frogs?

  1. It is increased when nostrils are closed.

  2. It stops when there is pulmonary respiration.

  3. It is increased when it is catching fly.

  4. It stops when the mouth is opened.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Buccopharyngeal respiration occurs through the mouth, but when pulmonary respiration, i.e. respiration through lungs occurs, buccopharyngeal respiration stops as buccopharyngeal respiration alone fulfills all the needs of energy.
