_______ carries away the filtered blood from the kidneys.

  1. Renal vein

  2. Pulmonary vein

  3. Aorta

  4. Renal artery


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Renal vein carries away the filtered blood from the kidneys. Nephron is the structural and functional unit in kidneys. Each nephron is made up of 2 main parts: malphigian body and renal tubule. Malphigian body comprises a cup-shaped Bowman's capsule and a network of blood capillaries, the glomerulus. The renal artery, after entering the kidney, divides and redivides forming various afferent renal arterioles. An afferent arteriole enters a Bowman's capsule to form glomerulus. The efferent renal arteriole has narrower lumen than the afferent renal arteriole. Thereafter, an efferent renal arteriole leaves the glomerulus. The efferent renal arteriole breaks up into capillaries around the tubules. All the capillaries, in turn, unite to form renal venules and the latter together form the renal vein, which leaves the kidney. Thus, after the process of filtration in the glomerulus, renal vein has the clean or filtered blood.

Match the following:

a. Renal artery 1. It carries impure blood into the kidneys.
b. Renal vein 2. They are the tubes that carry urine from kidneys to bladder.
c. Ureters 3. It carries pure blood out of the kidneys.
  1. a - 1, b - 3, c - 2

  2. a - 1, b - 2, c - 3

  3. a - 2, b - 1, c - 3

  4. a - 3, b - 1, c - 2

  5. a - 2, b - 3, c - 1


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Renal arteries carry blood containing waste into the kidneys. Renal veins drain pure blood out of the kidneys after filtration. Ureters are the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

Raphides are a form of plants' wastes that can be found in their

  1. stems

  2. leaves

  3. fruits

  4. bark

  5. roots


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct answer as some plant waste gets stored in fruits of plants in the form of solid bodies. Raphides are needle-shaped crystals of calcium oxalate as monohydrate or calcium carbonate as aragonite, found in more than 200 families of plants.

Which of the following is/are elongated cell(s) responsible for water transport?

  1. Parenchyma

  2. Fibres

  3. Tracheids

  4. Sieve tubes

  5. Endodermis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct answer is tracheids are long and thin. They transport water.

Which of the following statements is/are false?

a. The gaseous exchange in plants takes place through the stomata in leaves. b. In addition to leaves, stomata are also present in the roots of the plant. c. In most broad-leaved plants, stomata occur only in the lower surface of the leaf.

  1. Only a

  2. Both a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Both b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Stomata are minute aperture structures on plants found typically on the outer leaf. They are also known as the epidermis.

What name is given to the process of passing out urine from the body?

  1. Glomerular filtration

  2. Osmoregulation

  3. Tubular secretion

  4. Micturition

  5. Homeostasis


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The process of passing out of urine from the body is known as micturition.

What is the name of the largest artery in the body?

  1. Pulmonary artery

  2. Renal artery

  3. Aorta

  4. Carotid artery


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The aorta is the largest artery in human body. It originates from the left ventricle of the heart and extends down to the abdomen.

The normal systolic pressure is about ____ mm of Hg.

  1. 80

  2. 60

  3. 90

  4. 120


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The normal systolic pressure is about 120 mm Hg. 

What is a knot of extremely tiny blood vessels involved in filtering the blood to form urine called?

  1. Bladder

  2. Capillary

  3. Nephron

  4. Glomerulus


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A glomerulus, plural glomeruli, is a knot of extremely tiny blood vessels involved in filtering the blood to form urine. There are many glomeruli inside the kidney, each contained within a capsule known as Bowman's capsule.

Which of the following is an incorrect statement?

  1. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.

  2. The opening and closing of stomata is a function of guard cells.

  3. Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight.

  4. Phloem is the outer layer of cells covering an organism.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Statement 4 is incorrect as phloem is the living tissue that carries organic nutrients in plants.

Which of the following brings deoxygenated blood from middle and lower parts of the human body?

  1. Superior vena cava

  2. Right pulmonary artery

  3. Inferior vena cava

  4. Left subclavian artery

  5. Coronary sinus


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Inferior vena cava brings deoxygenated blood from lower and middle parts of the body for its purification.

Which of the following statements regarding transport of water in rooted plants is true?

  1. Always multidirectional

  2. Rarely unidirectional

  3. Directionless

  4. Always unidirectional


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Transportation of water in rooted plants is always unidirectional.

  1. right side of interauricular septum

  2. right side of interventricular septum

  3. middle of interauricular septum

  4. middle of interventricular septum


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The atrioventricular node is located on the right side of interauricular septum.

  1. Seventy two

  2. Thirty six

  3. Eight

  4. Sixteen


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Heart beats seventy-two times per minute. It represents the number of double circulations of blood from heart to lungs to heart and then to the body.
