MCQ Answers

1.(b) Yeast, mushroom. bread mould

Explanation: Yeast. mushrcx)rns, and bread mould all exhibit a saprophytic mode of nutrition. They use digestive enzymes secreted outside their bodies to break down complex organic substances and absorb basic molecules as nutrition.

2. (d) Light is necessary for photosynthesis

Explanation: Only in the presence of sunlight can autotrophs convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates. By covering the leaf by black paper strip the leaf does not get sunlight in the covered part and no photosynthesis takes place and no starch will be present in the leaf thus light is necessary for photosynthesis.

3. (c) Starch

Explanadon: Due to the presence of starch, when iodine solution was added to rice water, the solution was blue black. Iodine forms a starch Iodide complex when it comes in contact with the amylose structure of starch. The blue-black colour comes from the starch iodide complex.

4.    (b) Starch breaking down into sugars

Explanation: Amylase is a starch hydrolase enzyme that catalysis the conversion of starch to simple sugars. As a result, if salivary amylase is lacking in saliva, starch digestion is hampered.

5.    (b) Small intestine

Explanation: Bile is a dark green to yellowish brown fluid produced by the liver. It is stored in

the gall bladder and it helps in the digestion of fats in the small intestine.

6.    (d) Small intestine

Explanation: Food is broken down in the small intestine by enzymes secreted by the pancreas and bile from the liver because it contains all of the enzymes required for the digestion of every type of food, the food is finally digested in the small intestine of the alimentary canal.

7.    (d) Trypsin digests proteins and lipase digests emulsified fats

Explanation: Pancreatic juice contains the digestive enzymes amylases, lipases, and trypsin, which are secreted by the pancreas. Amylase degrades starch, trypsin degrades proteins, and lipase degrades emulsified lipids.

8.    (d) Ptyalin

Explanation: The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice, which contains various enzymeq like hypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, elaataae, carboxypeptidase, pancreatic lipase, and amylase. Pancreatic juice does not include Ptyalin. It is produced by the gastric glands in the stomach.

9.    (c) Excretion

Explanation: Kidneys are the bean shaped reddish brown paired organs in human beings. These are a part of excretory system that helps in the process of urine formation. Thus kidneys help in excretion.

10.    (b) Water in guard cells

Explanation: The entry of water into guard cells aids in the opening of guard cells, the guard cell becomes turgid as a result of this, Water going out from guard cells aids in the closing of guard cells, as a result of this the guard cells become flaccid.

11.    (c) Stomach and pancreas

Explanation: Pepsin enzyme is secreted by the stomach that breaks down proteins into smaller amino acids. Trypsin enzyme is secreted by the pancreas that breaks down proteins.

12.    (c) Secreted by liver and stored in gall bladder Explanation: Bile juice is secreted by the liver and stored in gall bladder. It helps in the breakdown of fats into fatty acids.

13.    (d) Carbohydrates

Explanation: Salivary amylase, which is present in   saliva, digests carbohydrates such as starch. It is also digested in the pancreas by pancreatic juices.

14.    (c) Stomach

Explanation: Proteins are first broken down in the stomach. Pepsinogen is released by peptic cells in the stomach. Pepsinogen is a proenzyme which is converted into active pepsin. Pepsin breaks down proteins into smaller polypeptides.

15.    (a) Amylase

Explanation: Amylase is the first enzyme in the digestive tract to mix with food. It is secreted in the mouth and acts on starch to break it down into smaller molecules.

16.    (c) (i) and (iv)

Explanation: Fermentation is an anaerobic process in which sugar is converted to acids or alcohol in the absence of oxygen. This process occurs in yeast, bacteria, and oxygen-depleted muscle cells in the same way that lactic acid fermentation does, but it takes place in the cytoplasm rather than in the mitochondria 

17.    (d) They have thick elastic walls without valves inside, blood flows under high pressure and carry blood away from the heart to different parts of the body. Explanation: Arteries are thick-walled blood that pumps blog away from the heart at a high pressure because tier walls are highly muscular, they do not have valves.

18. (d)

19. (b)

20, (c) 

Calcium hydroxide solution is the lime water when it reacts with carbon diovide, it forms insoluble calcium carbonate, which remain, suspended in water and gives it a milky white colour

21. (a) Cytoplasm

Explanation: Tlte pyruvate produced during glycolysis usually enters the Kreb’s cycle as acetyl coenzyme A in the mitochondrial matrix, where it provides a reservoir of chemical energy (ATP, NADH and FADH2). Pyruvic acid can be transformed to lactic acid as one of its potential  fates in cellular respiration. Under stressful conditions, this often occurs in the cytoplasm of muscle tissue.

22 (c) Kidney – Ureter – Urinary bladder -Urethra

Explanation: Urine from the nephron is transported to the collecting duct, where it enters the ureters. Ureters open from the kidney into the urinary bladder.

The urinary bladder holds urine, and as the volume of urine collected increases, so does the size of the bladder. When the CNS sends a voluntary message to the bladder, the bladder muscles contract and the bladder sphincter relaxes, allowing urine to pass through the urethra.

23.    (b) Alveoli of lungs

Explanation: The air sacs in lungs are known as alveoli. The alveoli are where exchange of the  gases takes place. The concentration of oxygen gas  in the alveoli is higher than in the blood during  inhalation, therefore it diffuses into the blood.

Concentration of carbon dioxide is more in the blood than in the alveoli during exhalation, thus it diffuses into the alveoli.

24.    (a) Transport of water

Explanation: In vascular plants, xylem is a type of tissue that transports water and some nutrients from the roots to the leaves.

The other type of transport tissue is phloem, which is responsible for transporting sucrose and other nutrients throughout the plant. The xylem acts as a conducting tibsue to transport water and some soluble nutrients such as minerals and inorganic ions from the roots to the rest of the plant.

25.    (b) KOH

Explanation: For the experiment where C02 is given out during respiration, KOH solution or pallets are taken in a test tube and placed in the conical flask KOH absorbs carbon dioxide and prevents it from being utilised by the plant for the process of photosynthesis.

27. (i) In plants excess glucose are stored in the form of starch.

(ii) In animals glucose molecule are stored in the form of glycogen 

28. Light reactions occur in grana and dark reactions occur in stromata of chloroplast.

29. Food A is glucose and Food B is starch,

30. one source of oxygen produced during photosynthesis is water.

31. Dark reactions are independent of light i.e., they do not requitv any light energy and hence are named so.

32. Iodine test is performed to test the presence of starch.

33. During playing there is conversion of pyruvate to lactic acid in muscles under anaerobic conditions which leads to formation of cramps in their muscles.

34. Trachea is surrounded by C-shaped cartilaginous rings which prevents the trachea from collapsing when there is less air in it.

35. Epiglottis is a flap like structure that guards the glottis and prevents the entry of any food particles during swallowing of food.

36. (b) Presence of HCI in the stomach is necessary for digestion because the acidic medium activates the action of gastric juice. HCI maintains a strong acidic pH, of about 1-2 in the stomach. HCI helps to activate Pepsinogen to pepsin which digests proteins to peptones and proteases. 

HCI inhibits the growth and also kills the germs that may have entered the stomach along with the food. So, thus it can be said that HCI kills bacteria but that does not help in digestion. Thus, both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

37. (d) Left ventricle has thickest muscles because it pumps the blood to the whole body. Thus, assertion is false but reason is true.

38. (a) Stomata is a tiny pore in leaves that help in gaseous exchange, so if the stomata gets blocked due to oil, gaseous exchange will be affected and hence rate of photosynthesis gets lowered. Thus, both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

39. (a) Pulse rate is the number of heart beats per minute. So, by counting the pulse rate we can understand the heart beat and in turn understand the working condition of the heart. Thus, both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

40. (b) Ureters function is to carry urine from kidney to the bladder, it does not depend on what lining it has. Thus, both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

41. (a) In most animals, tissue oxidation are carried out by aerobic respiration. But sometimes in aerobically respiring organisms, anaerobic metabolism takes place in certain tissues like skeletal muscles which do not get as much as required oxygen and produce lactic acid. Thug both assertion and are true and reason is the correct explanation Of the a«ertion 

42. (a) During the day transpiration becomes the main driving force for pulling up water. But at night since there is no sunlight transpiration does not take place, so water is pulled up due to root pregqure. 

Thus, both assertion and roaqon are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

43. (c) Dark phase does not take place at night, it takes place independent of light, so light is not a mandatory factor here. Thus, the assertion is true but the reason is false.

44. (b) Sphygmomanometer is the instrument used to measure blood pressure. Whatever, be the value it will be obtained after measuring with this. This has no relation with the normal adult blood pressure. Thus, both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

45. (c) Pancreatic amylase is a starch splitting enzyme like salivary amylase, so it cannot digest proteins.

Thus, the assertion is true but the reason is false.
