  1. Tendons

  2. Ligaments

  3. Cartilages

  4. Pivot joint

  5. Flexor muscles

A sundew plant shows ______ movement.

  1. seismonastic

  2. chemonastic

  3. photonastic

  4. hydrotropic

  5. thigmotropic


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sundew plant shows chemonastic movement as it bends its tentacles on its leaves over certain insects, when they touch the leaves.

The movement of plant stem in response to light is called _______.

  1. negatively geotropism

  2. positively geotropism

  3. negatively photropism

  4. positively phototropism

  5. positively hydrotropism


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The movement of plant parts towards light are said to be positively phototropism. 

How many bones are there in a human body?

  1. 108

  2. 206

  3. 208

  4. 96

  5. 126


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The human body is supported by a framework of bones, called skeleton. The skeleton consists of 206 bones. 

Which of the following plants shows seisomonastic movement?

  1. Mimosa

  2. Sundew

  3. Pitcher

  4. Rose

  5. Jasmine


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Mimosa, i.e. the 'touch me not' plant shows nastic movement in response to touch.

Which of the following is not a function of skeleton?

  1. To give shape to the body

  2. To give support to the body

  3. To protect body against infection

  4. To protect the body organs

  5. To help in movement


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Immune system protects the body against infection. Skeletal system has no role in protecting body against infection. 

Match the following joints with their locations?

 
a. Pivot joint 1. Knee
b. Hinge joint 2. Shoulder
c. Balland socket joint 3. Neck
4. Elbow
  1. a - 1, b - 2, c - 3 & 4

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

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

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


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Pivot joints are present in neck, hinge joint is present in knee and elbow, and Ball and socket joints are present in hip and shoulder.

Which of the following features do not apply to a tissue?

  1. Tissues are absent in unicellular organisms.

  2. All the cells of a tissue are similar in structure.

  3. Tissues are present in animals only.

  4. Tissues are made up of cells specialized in one function.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

By definition, tissue is a group of cells, which have a similar structure and perform a common specific function. The tissues are present in both plants and hence, (3) is incorrect.

Which of the following organisms move with the help of their jointed legs?

  1. Spiders

  2. Earthworm

  3. Bat

  4. Monkey

  5. Frog


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Insects like ants and spiders move with the help of their jointed legs. 

In which of the following are the pivot joints present?

  1. Knee

  2. Elbow

  3. Shoulder

  4. Neck

  5. Hip


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Pivot joints make twisting movement possible. It is a pivot joint that lets your neck from side to side. 

The need of tissues in multicellular organisms arises due to ______.

  1. increase in the size of cells

  2. increase in the size of body

  3. increase in the movements of body

  4. increase in the structure of body


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Multicellular organisms develop a complex body structure and the cells are not exposed for long time to the air or water media for exchange of materials. Hence, specialized tissues become necessary to reach all the cells and do the needful activities like gaseous exchange, supply of food, removal of excretory products from all the cells. For this, cells do not increase in size; they are only more in number. Movements increase as a result of efficient working of tissues. Further, there are many multicellular organisms, which are small or minute in size. Hence, tissues are basis of structure and not size. 

Which kind of joints is found in knee?

  1. Pivot

  2. Hinge

  3. Ball and socket

  4. Fixed

  5. Partially movable


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Hinge joint allows movement only in one direction. For example the knee and elbow can bend and straighten, but cannot rotate.

Match the following.

 
a. Phototropism 1. Gravity
b. Geotropism 2. Water
c. Hydrotropism 3. Touch
d. Thigmotropism 4. Light
  1. a - 2, b - 3, c - 4, d - 1

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

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

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


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Movement of plant in response to light is called phototropism, in response to gravity is called geotropism, in response to water is called hydrotropism and in response to touch is called thigmotropism.
