Biology MCQs

Notes:
Opium is dried latex which is obtained from the seed capsules of the opium poppy Papaver somniferum.

Notes:
The Stomata in the aquatic plants is found and available on upper surface only. Stomata are crucial for plant functioning as they play fundamental role in the regulation of gas exchange between the plant and its surrounding environment.

Notes:
contract urinary bladder is a function of Parasympathetic nerves. Sympathetic nerves relax urinary bladder.

Notes:
Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain tissue. The most common cause is viral infections which is caused by bacteria or even fungi. There are two main types of encephalitis: primary Encephalitis and secondary Encephalitis.

Notes:
The monocarpic plants produce flowers only once in lifetime. Monocarpic plants are those that flower, set seeds and then die.

Notes:
Sucralose is an artificial sweetener. The majority of ingested sucralose is not broken down by the body and therefore it is non-caloric. Sucralose is approximately 600 times as sweet as sucrose (table sugar), twice as sweet as saccharin, and 3 times as sweet as aspartame. It is stable under heat and over a broad range of pH conditions. Therefore, it can be used in baking or in products that require a longer shelf life. The commercial success of sucralose-based products stems from its favorable comparison to other low-calorie sweeteners in terms of taste, stability, and safety. It is used because it is a no-calorie sweetener, and does not promote dental cavities, is safe for consumption by diabetics, and does not affect insulin levels.

Notes:
The lateral fin of the whale consists of the same bones as a human’s arm, the radius, ulna, and humerus. These structures are considered to be homologous because the underlying structure is similar and, therefore, humans and whales share a common ancestor. The lobster’s leg, the reptile’s front leg, and the insect’s wing are analogous to the human’s arm. They have a common function but no common structure, and they do not share a common ancestor.

Notes:
The internal walls of the small intestine are covered in finger-like tissue called villi. Each of these villi is covered in even smaller finger-like structures called microvilli. These villi and microvilli increase the surface area available for the absorption of nutrients.

Notes:
Mycoplasma are a mollicute genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall around their cell membranes. Mycoplasma species are the smallest bacterial cells yet discovered, can survive without oxygen, and come in various shapes.

Notes:
Bile or gall is a dark green to yellowish brown fluid, produced by the liver of most vertebrates that aids the digestion of lipids in the small intestine. In humans, bile is produced continuously by the liver and stored and concentrated in the gallbladder.
