  1. Arteries of body

  2. Capillaries surrounding the alveoli

  3. Left auricle of heart

  4. Capillaries surrounding the tissues


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The maximum amount of oxygen lost from blood is in capillaries surrounding the tissues.

What happens to glucose during strenuous exercise?

  1. It is converted to glycogen.

  2. It is converted to pyruvic acid.

  3. It is converted to starch.

  4. It is converted to lactic acid.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Glucose is converted to lactic acid during strenuous exercise.

Glycolysis is a part of

  1. anaerobic respiration

  2. aerobic respiration

  3. both aerobic and anaerobic respiration

  4. Krebs cycle


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose. It occurs both in aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Hiccups are due to the activity of

  1. intercostal muscles

  2. food in air tract

  3. diaphragm

  4. inadequate oxygen in atmosphere


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Hiccups are due to the involuntary contraction of the diaphragm. Hiccups may occur individually, or they may occur in bouts. The rhythm of the hiccups, or the time between hiccups, tends to be relatively constant. 

Krebs' cycle occurs in

  1. cytoplasm

  2. mitochondria

  3. chloroplast

  4. endoplasmic reticulum


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Krebs' cycle occurs in the mitochondria.

Why do gases diffuse over the respiratory surface?

  1. Because pO2 is more in alveoli than in blood.

  2. Because pO2 is more in blood than in tissues.

  3. Because pCO2 is less in alveoli than in blood.

  4. Because pCO2 is less in blood than in tissues.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Gases diffuse over the respiratory surface because pO2 is more in alveoli than in blood.

Which of the following respires through gills?

  1. Crocodile

  2. Whale

  3. Prawn

  4. Frog


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Prawn respires through gills.

Which of the following prevents the entry of food in wind pipe?

  1. Glottis

  2. Epiglottis

  3. Larynx

  4. Pharynx


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Epiglottis prevents the entry of food in wind pipe.

At high altitudes, the RBCs in human blood

  1. increase in number

  2. decrease in number

  3. decrease in size

  4. increase in size


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

At high altitudes, the RBCs in human blood increase in number to meet the increased oxygen demand.

Which of the following types of respiration is performed by a frog during hibernation?

  1. Pulmonary respiration

  2. Cutaneous respiration

  3. Bucco–pharyngeal respiration

  4. Both cutaneous and pulmonary respiration


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cutaneous respiration (through the skin) is performed by a frog during hibernation.
