    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Shah answered
Slash and burn agriculture is a widely used method of growing food in which wild or forested land is clear cut and any remaining vegetation burned. The resulting layer of ash provides the newly-cleared land with a nutrient-rich layer to help fertilize crops.

The major rabi crop in India is wheat, followed by barley, mustard, sesame and peas. Peas are harvested early, as they are ready early: Indian markets are flooded with green peas from January to March, peaking in February.

What is the primary function of the counter-current mechanism in the nephron?
  • a)
    To filter blood at the glomerulus
  • b)
    To reabsorb glucose in the proximal tubule
  • c)
    To concentrate urine by creating a concentration gradient in the medulla
  • d)
    To transport urine from the kidney to the bladder
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Nk Classes answered
The counter-current mechanism in the nephron primarily functions to concentrate urine by creating a concentration gradient in the medulla of the kidney. This gradient is established by the counter-current flow of fluids in the ascending and descending limbs of the loop of Henle, which facilitates the reabsorption of water and concentrates the urine.

Which statement accurately describes the process of hemodialysis?
  • a)
    It filters blood using a device that mimics kidney function.
  • b)
    It stores excess water from the blood.
  • c)
    It absorbs waste products directly from the urine.
  • d)
    It reabsorbs glucose and amino acids into the blood.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis is a medical procedure used to treat kidney failure. It plays a crucial role in filtering and purifying the blood when the kidneys can no longer perform this function effectively.
How Hemodialysis Works
- Blood Filtration: Hemodialysis involves the use of a machine called a dialyzer, commonly referred to as an artificial kidney.
- Mimicking Kidney Function: The dialyzer filters waste products, excess fluid, and toxins from the blood, simulating the natural filtration process of healthy kidneys.
- Blood Circulation: During the procedure, blood is drawn from the body, circulated through the dialyzer, and then returned to the body, effectively cleansing the blood of harmful substances.
Why Other Options are Incorrect
- Option B: Storing excess water from the blood is not a function of hemodialysis; rather, the process removes excess water.
- Option C: Hemodialysis does not absorb waste directly from the urine; it cleanses the blood by filtering it.
- Option D: Reabsorbing glucose and amino acids into the blood is a function of the kidneys, not hemodialysis.
Conclusion
In summary, option 'A' accurately describes hemodialysis as it effectively filters blood using a device that mimics kidney function, addressing the critical need for patients with impaired kidney performance.

What is the primary role of the ureters in the excretory system?
  • a)
    To filter blood
  • b)
    To store urine
  • c)
    To transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder
  • d)
    To release urine from the body
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

The ureters are tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. They play a crucial role in transporting the urine formed in the kidneys to the bladder, where it is stored until it is eventually expelled from the body.

What is the basic unit of filtration in the kidney that contains a cluster of capillaries?
  • a)
    Bowman’s capsule
  • b)
    Glomerulus
  • c)
    Ureter
  • d)
    Collecting duct
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

The glomerulus is a network of capillaries within the nephron that performs the initial filtration of blood. It is surrounded by Bowman’s capsule, which collects the filtered urine. The glomerulus plays a crucial role in filtering waste products from the blood.

Assertion: Rice is grown in plains of the north.
Reason: Due to high rainfall i.e. more than 100cm.
  • a)
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  • b)
    A is correct but R is wrong
  • c)
    Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • d)
    A is wrong but R is correct
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:
While it's true that rice is grown extensively in the northern plains of India, the primary reason isn't solely high rainfall. Rice requires a lot of water, but other factors like fertile alluvial soil in the plains, suitable temperatures, and access to irrigation facilities through canals and tubewells are equally important. Therefore, the reason given is incomplete. High rainfall is certainly beneficial for rice cultivation, but it's not the only factor. 

Assertion (A): The human excretory system is responsible for maintaining the right amount of water and ionic balance in the body.
Reason (R): Kidneys perform osmoregulation in addition to filtering nitrogenous waste from the blood.
  • a)
    If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
  • b)
    If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  • c)
    If Assertion is true but Reason is false
  • d)
    If both Assertion and Reason are false
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

  • Assertion: In this scenario, the Assertion is true as the kidneys do indeed play a vital role in osmoregulation, which involves maintaining the right balance of water and ions in the body.
  • Reason: The Reason is also true since it correctly states that one of the main functions of the kidneys is osmoregulation along with filtering nitrogenous waste from the blood. Moreover, the Reason serves as a valid explanation for the Assertion, as the maintenance of water and ionic balance is directly linked to the osmoregulatory function of the kidneys.
  • Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
