The cup-shaped part of nephron which receives the glomerular filtrate is called

  1. Bowman’s capsule

  2. vasa recta

  3. collecting duct

  4. vena cava


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The cup-shaped part of nephron which receives the glomerular filtrate is called Bowman’s capsule.

Which part of nephron pours urine into the ureter?

  1. Tubular part

  2. Glomerulus

  3. Collecting duct

  4. Bowman’s capsule


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Several collecting ducts unite to form larger ducts that empty urine into a calyx at the tip of the renal pyramid. 

Excess water is excreted from plants through

  1. xylem

  2. phloem

  3. stomata

  4. cork


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

 Excess water is excreted from plants through the stomata in leaves.  Plants can get rid of excess water by transpiration and guttation.

Waste products are stored as ________ in old xylem plants.

  1. sucrose

  2. glucose

  3. resins

  4. water


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Waste products are stored as resins in old xylem plants. Some plant wastes are very useful to human beings, e.g. rubber, latex, gum, resins and essential oils like eucalyptus or sandalwood oil. 

Tricuspid valves are present in between

  1. left atrium and left ventricle

  2. right atrium and right ventricle

  3. left atrium and right atrium

  4. left ventricle and right atrium


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Tricuspid valves are present in between right atrium and right ventricle.

The only artery which carries deoxygenated blood is _________.

  1. pulmonary artery

  2. renal artery

  3. hepatic artery

  4. coronary artery


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Deoxygenated (without oxygen) blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle and then, right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs, where it is supplied with fresh oxygen and carbon dioxide is removed.

The shoot tip of a plant receives water

  1. through water vapours present in air

  2. through vessels and tracheids

  3. through tracheids and xylem fibres

  4. through vessels and parenchyma


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The shoot tip of a plant receives water through vessels and tracheids.

Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. Which of the following does not constitute a part of nephron?

  1. Bowman's capsule

  2. Proximal convoluted tubule

  3. Loop of Henle

  4. Collecting duct

  5. Distal convoluted tubule


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A uriniferous tubule/nephron is a long tubule differentiated into four regions – Bowman’s capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and distal convoluted tubule. Collecting ducts are the larger tubes, each receiving the collecting tubules of several nephrons. Collecting duct does not form a part of the uriniferous tubule.

Which of the following is the most muscular chamber of the human heart?

  1. Left atrium

  2. Right ventricle

  3. Right atrium

  4. Left ventricle

  5. All are equally muscular


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Left ventricle is the most muscular chamber because it pumps out blood to the entire body tissues, through the aorta.

The loss of water from aerial parts of a plant is known as

  1. transpiration

  2. translocation

  3. excretion

  4. circulation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The loss of water in the form of vapours from the aerial parts of a plant is known as transpiration. It helps in (1) absorption and upward movement of water and minerals dissolved in it from roots to leaves (2) temperature regulation

How is gaseous waste eliminated from plants?

  1. Through roots

  2. Through stomata

  3. Through stems

  4. Through flowers


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Gaseous waste is eliminated from plants through stomata.

Systole causes

  1. entry of blood into lungs

  2. entry of blood into heart

  3. exit of blood from heart

  4. exit of blood from ventricles


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Systole is the period of contraction of the ventricles of the heart that occurs between the first and second heart sounds. Systole causes the ejection of blood from the ventricle into the aorta and the pulmonary trunk.

Ultrafiltration takes place in

  1. blood capillaries

  2. tissue fluid

  3. glomerulus

  4. urinary bladder


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ultrafiltration takes place in glomerulus.

Which of the following plant tissues helps in the bidirectional translocation of minerals?

  1. Sieve tubes

  2. Xylem vessels

  3. Tracheids

  4. Parenchyma


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sieve tubes help in the bidirectional translocation of minerals. They are elongated, food-conducting cells in phloem in angiosperms.

Which of the following is not a purpose of producing urine in the body?

  1. To remove uric acid from blood

  2. To remove carbon dioxide from blood

  3. To remove toxic substances from blood

  4. To remove excess of water from body


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The purpose of making urine is to filter out waste products from the blood. Nitrogenous waste such as urea or uric acid, excess water and toxic substances are removed from blood in the kidneys. CO2 is removed from the blood in the lungs.
