QUESTION: 2

The opening and closing of the stomatal pore depends upon

A.
Oxygen
B.
Temperature
C.
Water in guard cells
D.
Concentration of CO₂ in stomata

Solution:

When a pair of guard cells surrounding a stoma receives the signal to open the stomatal pore, it is filled with water, thus changing the cell's shape and opening the pore. When guard cells receive a signal to close the stoma. This initiates a loss of water and causes them to shrink and the pore closes. Thus, the correct answer is option C.

QUESTION: 3

Movement of food through the oesophagus is due to :

A.
Lubrication by saliva
B.
Peristalsis
C.
Diffusion
D.
Turgor pressure

Solution:

Peristalsis is the rhythmic contraction and relaxation of muscles of the alimentary canal that propels the food in downward direction.

QUESTION: 4

Oxygen liberated during photosynthesis comes from

A.
Water
B.
Chlorophyll
C.
Carbon dioxide
D.
Glucose

Solution:

During photosynthesis splitting of water molecules from H₂O to hydrogen and oxygen take place where oxygen is released from the stomata.

QUESTION: 5

Sometimes we get painful cramps in our leg muscles after running for a long time due to the accumulation of:

A.
Lactic acid
B.
Carbon dioxide
C.
Hydrochloric acid
D.
Fat

Solution:

During heavy exercise, the demand for energy is high but the supply of oxygen to produce energy is limited. Therefore, anaerobic respiration takes places in the muscles cells to fulfil the demand for energy. This anaerobic breakdown of glucose leads to the formation of lactic acid in muscles. The accumulation of lactic acid in muscles leads to muscle cramps. Hence, during heavy exercise, we get cramps in the legs due to the accumulation of Lactic acid.So, the correct answer is 'Lactic acid'.

QUESTION: 6

The filtration units of kidneys are called

A.
Ureter
B.
Urethra
C.
Neurons
D.
Nephrons

Solution:

Functioning of a nephron - The blood enters the kidney through a long ranal tubal which branches into many capillaries associated with the glamorous.

The main functions of a nephron are:

1.Filtration
2.Ultrafiltration
3. Absorption
4. Reabsorption

QUESTION: 7

The common step between aerobic and anaerobic respiration takes place in :

A.
Cytoplasm
B.
Mitochondria
C.
Chloroplast
D.
Golgi complex

Solution:

Aerobic respiration first occurs in cytoplasm and then in mitochondria.
Anaerobic respiration occurs in cytoplasm itself.

QUESTION: 8

When air is blown from mouth into a test-tube containing lime water, the lime water turns milky due to the presence of

A.
Oxygen
B.
Carbon dioxide
C.
Nitrogen
D.
Water vapour

Solution:

The air we exhale contains CO₂. When carbon dioxide is passed through lime water or Ca(OH)₂then it form calcium carbonate which is white in colour.

QUESTION: 9

Which is the first enzyme to mix with food in the digestive tract ?

A.
Pepsin
B.
Cellulose
C.
Amylase
D.
Trypsin

Solution:

Salivary amylase, present in saliva, is the first digestive enzyme that gets mixed with food in the oral cavity during the process of mastication and bolus formation. The digestive enzyme salivary amylase hydrolyzes starch into maltose, malto-triose, dextrin and a small amount of glucose.
