[A] Bacteria
[B] Virus
[C] Protozoa
[D] Fungi
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [Bacteria]
Notes:
Meningitis is a disease which is characterized by inflammation of meninges, the covering that lie over the brain and spinal chord is caused by bacteria. The meninges are the three membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord.
4. Theory of natural selection was proposed by ?
[A] Mendel
[B] Darwin
[C] Lamarck
[D] Karl Landsteiner
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B [Darwin]
Notes:
Theory of natural selection was proposed by Darwin.The theory is an explanation for adaptation and speciation. He defined natural selection as the “principle by which each slight variation [of a trait], if useful, is preserved”.
5. The cork cells are impervious to water. Which among the following is responsible to give this quality to Cork?
[A] Cellulose
[B] Cutin
[C] Suberin
[D] Glucose
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C [Suberin]
Notes:
The cork cells are impervious to water. Suberin is responsible to give this quality to Cork. Suberin, cutin and lignins are complex, higher plant epidermis and periderm cell-wall macromolecules, forming a protective barrier.
6. In human body, where do you find the Cone cells and Rod cells?
[A] Retina of the eye
[B] Gallbladder
[C] Esophagus
[D] Villi in the small intestine
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [ Retina of the eye]
Notes:
Cone cells and Cone cells are one of three types of photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye. They are responsible for color vision and function best in relatively bright light, as opposed to rod cells, which work better in dim light.
7. Why does the peepal tree continuously produce oxygen?
[A] C3 Photosynthesis
[B] C4 Photosynthesis
[C] Crassulacean Acid Metabolism
[D] Carbon Cycle Rebalancing
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C [Crassulacean Acid Metabolism]
Notes:
Peepal tree has the capability to absorb CO² at night due to Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM). It’s a photosynthesis pathway primarily found in desert plants and epiphytes (those that live on larger trees). During the day, CAM plants break down the malate created at night and use the released CO² to create sugars, similar to C3 plants. But, CAM, being energy inefficient, is used only under certain conditions. It seems that peepal trees use CAM when they are epiphytic and switch to C3 photosynthesis when they settle in the soil.
8. Anatomically, the beak of birds is equivalent of which of the following?
[A] Teeth
[B] Cheeks
[C] Jaws
[D] None of the above
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C [Jaws]

9. Which of the following is an example of Symbiotic bacteria?
[A] Rhizobium
[B] Protozoa
[C] Flat worms
[D] None of the above
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [Rhizobium]
Notes:
Rhizobium is a kind of symbiotic bacteria. Many legumes have root nodules that provide a home for symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria called rhizobia. This relationship is particularly common in nitrogen-limited conditions. The Rhizobia convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonia.

[C] 40
[D] 4
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D [4]
Notes:
In biology, tissue is a cellular organizational level between cells and a complete organ. Animal tissues are grouped into four basic types: connective, muscle, nervous, and epithelial.
