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.

This is the correct answer. 

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

a. Glomeruli filter the blood. b. Small molecules collect as filtrate in tubules. c. Bowman's capsule allows selective reabsorption of useful substances into blood capillaries.

  1. Only b

  2. Only a

  3. Only c

  4. Only b and c

  5. a, b and c


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A glomerulus is a network (as a tuft) of capillaries located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney. It serves as the first stage in the filtering process of the blood carried out by the nephron in its formation of urine. The glomerulus is surrounded by a cup-like sac known as Bowman's capsule.

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. only c

  4. only a and b

  5. a, b and c


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct answer.

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

a. Small intestines in humans are the site of complete digestion of food. b. Small intestines receive secretions from liver and pancreas. c. Small intestines are the smallest part of the alimentary canal.

  1. Only a

  2. Only c

  3. Both b and c

  4. Both a and c

  5. Both a and b


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Both these statements are correct.

_______ breaks down the emulsified fats during digestion of food.

  1. Enzyme amylase

  2. Enzyme lipase

  3. Enzyme trypsin

  4. Mucus

  5. Enzyme pepsin


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Breaks down the emulsified fats during digestion of food

Which of the following store(s) bile?

  1. Liver

  2. Oesophagus

  3. Pancreas

  4. Gallbladder

  5. Stomach


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. 

_________ serves as the internal energy reserve to be used as and when required by the plant.

  1. Oxygen

  2. Starch

  3. Glycogen

  4. Carbohydrates

  5. Carbon


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The carbohydrates which are not used immediately are stored in the form of starch, which serves as the internal energy reserve to be used as and when required by the plant.

Which of the following statements is/are incorrect?

a. Bile is acidic in nature. b. Bile salts break fats present in food. c. Pancreas secrete bile to aid pancreatic juice in digestion.

  1. Only a

  2. Only b

  3. Only c

  4. Both a and b

  5. Both a and c


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct answer.

Which of the following store(s) digested food that is not immediately used by the human body?

  1. Pancreas

  2. Gallbladder

  3. Large intestine

  4. Small intestine

  5. Liver


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Digested food that is not immediately used by a human body is stored in the liver as glycogen.

Living things need oxygen to obtain energy from food. This oxygen reacts with food molecules and burns them slowly to release energy. The energy released is stored in

  1. blood

  2. mitochondria of cell

  3. ATP molecules in cell

  4. cell membrane

  5. cell nucleus


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The energy released during the process of respiration is stored in the ATP molecules in cells of a body.

Which of the following receive(s) bile?

  1. Pancreas

  2. Liver

  3. Large intestine

  4. Small intestine

  5. Stomach


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct answer.

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

a. The phase of heartbeat when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the veins is called diastole. b. The phase of heartbeat when the heart expands is called systole. c. Normal blood pressure values are considered to be 120/80.

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. only c

  4. only a and b

  5. a, b and c


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct answer.

_________ is produced as a waste product during respiration in cells of body tissues.

  1. Glucose

  2. Glucogen

  3. Oxygen

  4. Nitrogen

  5. Carbon dioxide


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. 

Muscle cramps occur due to

  1. aerobic respiration in muscles

  2. accumulation of pyruvic acid in blood

  3. glycolysis in mitochondria of muscle cells

  4. accumulation of lactic acid in muscles

  5. sudden build up of oxygen in cells


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Anerobic respiration takes place in cases of vigorous physical exercise when oxygen gets used up faster in muscle cells than is being supplied by blood. This can cause sudden build up of lactic acid, which causes cramps.
