Through which sphincter or valve does food exit the stomach during the process of digestion?

  1. Upper esophageal sphincter

  2. Lower esophageal sphincter

  3. Pyloric sphincter

  4. Internal sphincter

  5. External sphincter


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The chyme (food) exits the stomach via. pyloric sphincter or valve and passes into the duodenum; the first segment of the small intestine.

Which of the following facts about the lymphatic system is incorrect?

  1. Lymph is light yellow in colour.

  2. The lymphatic system aids the immune system.

  3. Its movement depends on the motions of the muscle and joint pumps.

  4. Like blood, it flows throughout the body in both directions.

  5. It returns proteins and fluids from circulation to tissues.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It always flows only in one direction from tissues to heart.

Which of the following functions does not happen in the stomach?

  1. Enzyme amylase acts on starch, and breaking it into maltose.

  2. Helps in breakdown of fibrous tissue.

  3. Kills bacteria.

  4. Enzyme pepsin breaks down protein.

  5. Churning the food.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This happens in the mouth where salivary glands produce saliva that contains the enzyme amylase.

In which part of the circulatory system does the exchange of materials between blood and cells occur?

  1. Aorta

  2. Pulmonary artery

  3. Capillaries

  4. Pulmonary vein

  5. Valves


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Exchange of materials between blood and cells occurs in the capillaries.

Which part of the digestive system is not involved in the absorption of nutrients?

  1. Stomach

  2. Duodenum

  3. Jejunum

  4. Ileum

  5. Large intestine


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The major part of digestion takes place in the duodenum.

Which of the following facts about RBC is false?

  1. It carries dissolved nutrients and hormones.

  2. It contains haemoglobin.

  4. They are circular in shape.

  5. It does not have nucleus.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This function is carried out by plasma; another blood component.

Which enzyme digests fat into fatty acids and glycerol?

  1. Trypsin

  2. Chymotrypsin

  3. Pepsin

  4. Lipase

  5. Ptyalin


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Lipase digests fat into fatty acids and glycerol.

In which part of the respiratory system does the exchange of gases (oxygen mixes with the blood and carbon dioxide exits from the blood) take place?

  1. Trachea

  2. Bronchi

  3. Bronchioles

  4. Alveoli

  5. Larynx


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

These are air-sacs at the end of bronchioles, and is the place where blood capillaries open. The exchange of gases in alveoli takes place due to pressure differential.

Which part of the plant transports food from its photosynthetic parts to the non-green parts?

  1. Xylem

  2. Phloem

  3. Cortex

  4. Stoma

  5. Thylakoid


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Transportation of food from photosynthetic parts of the plant to the non-green parts takes place through phloem and is known as translocation.

Which of the following is/are not involved in the immune system?

  1. Platelets

  2. Plasma cells

  3. B lymphocytes

  4. T lymphocytes

  5. Lymph


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Platelets can release a variety of substances, most of which are involved in the coagulation or clotting of blood.
