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.

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. 

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.

Which of the following is a function of sieve tubes?

  1. Translocation of minerals and food

  2. Translocation of water

  3. Translocation of minerals and water

  4. Elimination of organic food


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Translocation of food is a function of sieve tubes. Sieve tube elements are a specialised type of elongated cells in the phloem tissue of flowering plants. The ends of these cells are connected with other sieve tube members and together they constitute the sieve tubes.

________ helps in translocation of food in plants.

  1. Xylem

  2. Palisade cells

  3. Root hairs

  4. Phloem


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Phloem transports products of photosynthesis (sugar and food) from the leaves where they are synthesised to other parts of the plant.

Acacia is a source of

  1. resin

  2. gum

  3. tannin

  4. oil


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Acacia is a source of gum.

Egestion in amoeba takes place through

  1. anus

  2. pseudopodia

  3. vacuole

  4. cytoplasm

  5. rupture in cell membrane


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Amoeba has no fixed place for removing the undigested part of food. When a considerable amount of undigested food collects inside amoeba, then its cell membrane suddenly ruptures at any place and the undigested food is thrown out of the body of amoeba.

Veins have valves to

  1. prevent back flow of blood

  2. prevent the collapse of the vein

  3. maintain its position in the body

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Veins collect blood from different organs and bring it back to the heart. They do not require thick walls as found in arteries because the blood is not under pressure. However, veins have valves that ensure that the blood flows only in one direction towards the heart and thus, prevent back flow of blood.

Excretory organs of earthworm are

a. nephrons b. nephridia c. skin d. kidneys

  1. only a and b

  2. a, b and c

  3. only b and c

  4. only c and d

  5. b, c and d


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. 

The diastolic pressure in a healthy person is

  1. 60 mm

  2. 80 mm

  3. 100 mm

  4. 120 mm


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In a healthy person, the diastolic blood pressure is 80 mm and systolic blood pressure is 120 mm.

In flatworms, the organs of excretion are

  1. kidneys

  2. nephridia

  3. flame cells

  4. malpighian tubules


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In flatworms, the organs of excretion are flame cells.

Name the organ of the excretory system that temporarily stores urine.

  1. Urethra

  2. Ureter

  3. Kidney

  4. Urinary bladder


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Urine is stored in the urinary bladder until the pressure of the expanded bladder leads to the urge to pass it out through the urethra.  

Urine is stored in the ______ till excreted.

  1. urethra

  2. ureter

  3. kidney

  4. urinary bladder


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The transparent yellowish fluid containing dissolved waste released from the kidney is known as urine. It is released from the kidney and passes through tubes called ureters. It is temporarily stored in the urinary bladder and is finally thrown out through a muscular tube called urethra.
