HP TET TGT Medical Mock Test - 1 - HP TET MCQ

"Readiness for learning" refers to the cognitive level of students in the learning continuum. Readiness for learning means how a person seeks out knowledge on their own. This trait in students stimulates maximum achievement. Motivation, inspiration, or the dreams to accomplish a goal helps a lot to achieve this readiness for learning in life.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Present cognitive level of students in the learning continuum.'

A teacher should take care of each child irrespective of their disabilities. He/she should ensure the students' maximum potential. Everyone has the right to education. A teacher should ensure that his/her students derive maximum benefit from education. 
Teachers must be aware of the fact that every child is different from each other. The differences occur from physical characteristics to learning styles. The objective of education is to provide the fullest possible development of learners. The teachers should find out the different strengths and weaknesses of students before their disabilities.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Mohan, why don't you use your crutches to go to the playground?'

Active Participation means when children initiate to speak something when they try to participate in group discussions. The teachers force children so that they will try to be good speakers and gain confidence.
Hence, the correct answer is "Active participation".

Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable aim and may be viewed as the opposite of success. There are many cognitive, physical, intellectual, emotional, and cultural causes for the failure of students.

Teachers must always ask questions in the class because it keeps the students alert in class. Their previous knowledge is checked and the concepts are also made clear.

Cross -multiply by change in oxidation number and balance H by H⁺ ions.

Thus, x = 2, y = 5 and z = 6 

An olfactory indicator is a material whose smell varies reliant on whether it is mixed with an acidic or basic solution. Olfactory indicators mainly used in laboratory to test whether a solution is a base or an acid. Onion is an example of olfactory indicators. 

H₂CO₃ + NaOH → NaHCO₃ + H₂O

NaCl is a neutral salt formed by the reaction between strong acid HCl and strong base NaOH. The reaction occurs as follows.

100 g of CaCO₃ requires 73 g of HCl
∴ 50 g of CaCO₃ requires 73/100 x 50 = 36.5 g of HCl

All acids contain hydrogen, but not all hydrogen-containing compounds are acids. Most acids also contain oxygen.

Among the alkali metals cesium is the most reactive because the outermost electron is more loosely bound than the outermost electron of the other alkali metals.

Photosynthesis is a redox reaction in which carbon dioxide is reduced to sugars in dark reaction and water is oxidised to release oxygen in light reaction of photosynthesis. C¹⁴ label was used to trace the path of carbon in the dark reaction in C³ plants by Calvin, Benson and Basham. The O¹⁸ label was used by Rumen and Kamen to experimentally prove that the source of oxygen released during light reaction of photosynthesis is water.

Answer: B.

Solution: Chlorophyll's primary role in photosynthesis is to absorb sunlight and convert it into chemical energy. This process is crucial for driving the light-dependent reactions, where the absorbed light energy is used to produce ATP and NADPH, which are then utilized in the Calvin cycle to fix carbon dioxide into carbohydrates

• In the photorespiratory pathway, there is no synthesis of ATP or NADPH. Therefore, photorespiration is a wasteful process.
• In C₄ plants photorespiration does not occur. This is because they have a mechanism that increases the concentration of CO₂ at the enzyme site.

Chlorophyll a, shows higher rate of photosynthesis. Hence, it is conclude that chlorophyll a is the chief pigment associated with photosynthesis.

The plant hormone auxin is used for agriculture and horticulture.

• During the process of plant propagation, auxin is used to initiate rooting in stem cutting.
• Auxin performs the role of promoting flowering in the plant.
• Abscission of older mature fruits and leaves is regulated by the hormone auxin.
• It also prevents leaves and fruits from dropping at the early stage. The growing apical buds in most higher plants inhibit the growth of auxiliary buds. This phenomenon is called apical dominance.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

Growth is the permanent and irreversible increase in dry weight, size, mass, volume of cells, organs or organism is called growth.

• The measurement and comparison of total growth per unit time are called an absolute growth rate.
• The growth of the given system per unit time expressed on a common basis is called a relative growth rate.

Unlike bryophytes and pteridophytes, in gymnosperms the male and the female gametophytes do not have an independent free-living existence.

The first word in a biological name represents the genus while the second word denotes the specific epithet.

Hence, the Correct Answer is C

NCERT Reference: Topic- Nomenclature from chapter "The Living world" of NCERT.

Dormancy is the state of state of inactivity during which metabolic process slows down. Seed may remain viable to several months to years depending upon type of seeds and condition.

Mesosomes are structures of prokaryotic cells formed by folded invaginations (sometimes described simply as "infoldings") of the plasma membrane. Enzymes associated with respiration of the prokaryotic cell, e.g. a bacterium, are located on the infoldings.

Menstrual cycles get stopped during pregnancy. Sometimes it becomes irregular due to stress and other hormonal activities of the body.

Decomposition is the process that involves the breakdown of complex organic matter or biomass from the body of dead plants and animals with the help of decomposers into inorganic raw materials such as carbon dioxide, water, and other nutrients.

The various processes involved in decomposition are as follows:
➢ Fragmentation 

• It is the first step in the process of decomposition.
• It involves the breakdown of detritus into smaller pieces by the action of detritivores such as earthworms.

➢ Leaching

• It is a process where the water soluble nutrients go down into the soil layers and get locked as unavailable salts.

➢ Catabolism

• It is a process in which bacteria and fungi degrade detritus through various enzymes into smaller pieces.

➢ Humification

• The next step is humification which leads to the formation of a dark-coloured colloidal substance called humus, which acts as reservoir of nutrients for plants.

➢ Mineralization

• The humus is further degraded by the action of microbes, which finally leads to the release of inorganic nutrients into the soil.
• This process of releasing inorganic nutrients from the humus is known as mineralization.

Glycocalyx is the outermost layer of the cell envelope. Cell wall lies between plasma membrane andd glycocalyx.

The folk dance of Shan and Shabu is devoted to Lord Buddha. Shand and Shabu are two popular dance forms in Himachal Pradesh which are generally performed at Buddhist monasteries in the loving memory of Buddha. They are said to have originated in the Lahaul and Spiti district of the state.

Meera, an EVS teacher asks students to bring sugar, salt, lemon juice, haldi, flour etc. for an activity to observe dissolving of things in water. The best reason is for asking students to bring things on their own:

• There is a need to involve students so that they construct knowledge easily.
• The students are able to relate their local knowledge with schools knowledge.
• Students can connect their knowledge with practical knowledge of daily life.
