  1. Renal vein

  2. Renal artery

  3. Pulmonary artery

  4. Pulmonary vein


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Renal artery gives rise to a bunch of capillaries called glomerulus.

Hemodialysis functions as an artificial

  1. kidney

  2. heart

  3. liver

  4. lung


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hemodialysis is the separation of certain substances from blood by use of a selectively permeable membrane.

Urine leaves the kidney through the

  1. urethra

  2. ureter

  3. collecting duct

  4. renal vein


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ureters are long tubes which connect the kidneys with the urinary bladder. Urinary bladder is a muscular sac where urine is stored until the pressure of the expanded bladder leads to urge to pass it out through the urethra.

Which of the following is excreted out during photosynthesis in plants?

  1. Carbon dioxide

  2. Oxygen

  3. Hydrogen

  4. Nitrogen


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants synthesise glucose with the release of oxygen, which is considered as an excretory product.

The mechanism by which glucose is reabsorbed in the renal tubule is ____________.

  1. diffusion

  2. endosmosis

  3. active transport

  4. secretion

  5. exosmosis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The mechanism by which glucose is reabsorbed in the renal tubule is active transport.

Reabsorption of chloride ions (Cl) from the glomerular filtrate in the kidney tubule of mammals is carried out by

  1. osmosis

  2. diffusion

  3. active transport

  4. Brownian movement


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Reabsorption of chloride ions (Cl) from the glomerular filtrate in the kidney tubule of mammals is carried out by diffusion.

In which organ of the body is insoluble calcium phosphate eliminated?

  1. Liver

  2. Kidneys

  3. Lungs

  4. Large intestine


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Insoluble calcium phosphate is eliminated in large intestine.

The chief nitrogenous waste in urine of humans or terrestrial mammals is

  1. urea

  2. uric acid

  3. ammonia

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 The chief nitrogenous waste in urine of humans or terrestrial mammals is urea. It is less toxic and requires less water for elimination.

The two main functions of sweat are

  1. to filter blood and to remove waste products

  2. to keep the body cool and to remove excess proteins

  3. to remove waste products and to cool the body

  4. to keep the body warm and to filter blood


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The two main functions of sweat are to remove waste products and to cool the body.

Which is the main gaseous waste product of the human body?

  1. NH3

  2. CO2

  3. H2S

  4. O2


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

CO2 is the most important gaseous waste and is eliminated through the lungs.

Diuresis is a condition characterised by

  1. increase in urine volume

  2. increased glucose excretion

  3. decrease in urine volume

  4. decrease in electrolyte balance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 Diuresis is a condition characterised by increase in urine volume.

Through which of the following organs is water not lost?

  1. Lung

  2. Kidney

  3. Skin

  4. Liver


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The organ through which water is not lost is the liver. Water loss takes place through lung, kidney and skin.

Urea is formed by the combination of ammonia and _________ in _________.

  1. oxygen, liver

  2. carbon dioxide, liver

  3. carbon monoxide, kidney

  4. calcium carbonate, liver


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 Urea is formed by the combination of ammonia and carbon dioxide in liver. Ureotelic organisms are those which eliminate their nitrogenous metabolic wastes mainly as urea.

What are the waste products of kidneys?

  1. Salts, water and carbon dioxide

  2. Urea and water

  3. Urea, water and salts

  4. Urea and salts


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The correct option is (3). Urea, water and salts are the waste products of kidneys.

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

  1. Respiratory waste products are formed as a result of oxidation of glucose.

  2. The excretory processes play an important role in the homeostasis in the body.

  3. Salts are mainly excreted through sweat glands of our skin.

  4. Accumulation of urea in the body may cause death.

  5. A large amount of bile pigments is excreted through faeces.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Salts are mainly excreted by kidneys through urine.
