  • 2. 

    The ultimate source of energy for all living beings  is (  )

    • Carbon dioxide

    • Water

    • Sun

    • Chlorophyll

    Correct Answer
    A. Sun
    Explanation
    The sun is the ultimate source of energy for all living beings because it provides light and heat which are necessary for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This energy is then transferred through the food chain as organisms consume plants or other organisms. Without the sun, photosynthesis would not occur, and there would be no energy available for living beings.

    The basic structural , fundamental and functional unit of an organism is(  )

    • Tissue

    • Organ

    • Cell

    • Muscles

    Correct Answer
    A. Cell
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Cell". A cell is the basic structural, fundamental, and functional unit of an organism. It is the smallest unit of life that can perform all the necessary functions for the organism to survive and carry out its activities. Cells are responsible for various processes such as growth, reproduction, and metabolism. They can exist as single-celled organisms or as part of a multicellular organism, where they work together to form tissues, organs, and organ systems. Overall, cells play a crucial role in maintaining the overall structure and function of an organism.

    The partially digested food in Ruminants is(  )

    • Bolus

    • Chyme

    • Cud

    • Chyle

    Correct Answer
    A. Cud
    Explanation
    Ruminants have a unique digestive system that allows them to extract nutrients from plant material efficiently. After initially swallowing their food, it goes into the rumen, the largest chamber of their stomach. In the rumen, the food undergoes fermentation by bacteria and other microorganisms. The partially digested food, known as cud, is then regurgitated back into the mouth where it is thoroughly chewed and mixed with saliva. This process, called rumination, allows the ruminant to further break down the food and extract as many nutrients as possible before it continues through the rest of the digestive system. Therefore, the correct answer is Cud.

    Lichens are example for which mode of heterotrophic nutrition(  )

    • Insectivorous

    • Saprotrophic

    • Symbiotic

    • Parasitic

    Correct Answer
    A. Symbiotic
    Explanation
    Lichens are a symbiotic organism formed by the mutualistic association between a fungus and an alga or a cyanobacterium. The fungus provides a protected environment and absorbs nutrients, while the alga or cyanobacterium photosynthesizes and provides food for both partners. This symbiotic relationship allows lichens to survive in harsh environments where neither the fungus nor the alga/cyanobacterium could survive alone. Therefore, lichens are an example of symbiotic heterotrophic nutrition.

  • 6. 

    Piercing and tearing of the food is done by which kind of teeth?( )

    • Incisors

    • Canines

    • Molars

    • Premolars

    Correct Answer
    A. Canines
    Explanation
    Canines are the type of teeth responsible for piercing and tearing food. They have long, sharp points that enable them to grip and tear through tough food items such as meat. Canines are located at the corners of the mouth and are well-suited for tearing apart prey or ripping off pieces of food. Incisors are used for cutting, molars and premolars are used for grinding and chewing, but it is the canines that are specifically designed for piercing and tearing.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Absorption and assimilation takes place in which part of alimentary canal?(  )

    • Buccal cavity

    • Rectum

    • Small intestine

    • Large intestine

    Correct Answer
    A. Small intestine
    Explanation
    Absorption and assimilation take place in the small intestine. This is because the small intestine is responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption in the digestive system. The inner lining of the small intestine is covered in tiny finger-like projections called villi, which increase the surface area available for absorption. These villi contain specialized cells that absorb nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats from the digested food and transport them into the bloodstream for distribution to the body's cells. Therefore, the small intestine is the primary site for absorption and assimilation of nutrients in the alimentary canal.

    The grass is rich in a type of carbohydrate that human digestive system cannot digest(  )

    • Glucose

    • Maltose

    • Cellulose

    • Sucrose

    Correct Answer
    A. Cellulose
    Explanation
    Cellulose is the correct answer because it is a type of carbohydrate found in grass that cannot be digested by the human digestive system. Unlike glucose, maltose, and sucrose, cellulose cannot be broken down by the enzymes in our body, making it indigestible. This is why humans are unable to derive any nutritional value from cellulose-rich foods like grass.

    Amarbel is an example of(  )

    • Autotroph

    • Parasite

    • Saprotroph

    • Host

    Correct Answer
    A. Parasite
    Explanation
    Amarbel is an example of a parasite. A parasite is an organism that lives in or on another organism (host) and derives its nourishment from the host's body. Amarbel is a parasitic plant that attaches itself to the host plant and derives nutrients and water from it.

    The locomotory organ in amoeba is (  )

    • Cilia

    • Pseudopodia

    • Flagella

    • Tentacles

    Correct Answer
    A. Pseudopodia
    Explanation
    Amoeba uses pseudopodia as its locomotory organ. Pseudopodia are temporary extensions of the cell membrane that help in movement. They are formed by the cytoplasm flowing in a particular direction, creating finger-like projections. Amoeba extends its pseudopodia in the direction it wants to move and then pulls the rest of its body towards it. This allows the amoeba to change its shape and move in any direction. Cilia, flagella, and tentacles are not locomotory organs in amoeba.
