34. When we touch leaves of “Touch me not plant”, they close, these movements are called ____:
[A] Seismonastic movements
[B] Photonastic movements
[C] Nyctinastic movements
[D] Chemonastic movements
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [Seismonastic movements]
Notes:
These types of mechanism have been termed seismonastic movements. The movement occurs when specific regions of cells lose turgor pressure, which is the force that is applied onto the cell wall by water within the cell vacuoles and other cell contents.
35. How the rate of absorption of water through roots can be increased?
[A] Keeping the plants under the fan
[B] Keeping the plants in the dim light
[C] Keeping the plants in the shade
[D] Covering the plants with a polythene bag
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [Keeping the plants under the fan]
Notes:
When a plant is placed under the fan, the speed of air is increased which leads to high rate of transpiration through the stomata. The increase in the rate of transpiration increases the water absorption also. As by keeping the plants under the fan, the transpiration process is boosted. Therefore, more amount of water and other minerals are absorbed by the plant roots from the soil.
36. Which of the following vitamins are water soluble?
[A] Vitamin A and Vitamin B
[B] Vitamin B and Vitamin C
[C] Vitamin C and Vitamin D
[D] Vitamin A and Vitamin D
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B [Vitamin B and Vitamin C]
Notes:
Vitamins are classified as either fat soluble (vitamins A, D, E and K) or water soluble (vitamins B and C).The fat soluble vitamins are soluble in lipids (fats); water-soluble vitamins are those that dissolve in water upon entering the body. Because of this, our body cannot store excess amounts of water-soluble vitamins for later use.
37. Which one of the following animals belongs to mollusca?
[A] Haliotis
[B] Hare
[C] Hydra
[D] Hyla
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B [Hare]
Notes:
Sea hares are molluscs. They belong to Phylum Mollusca and Class Gastropoda like snails. Like many other sea slugs (Subclass Opistobranchia), sea hares lack external shells as adults. Sea hares belong to Order Anaspidea.
38. What are Lipids?
[A] Lipids are monosaccharides
[B] Lipids do not provide energy to cells
[C] Fruits are a good source of lipids
[D] Cholesterol and trans fatty acids are types of Lipids
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D [Cholesterol and trans fatty acids are types of Lipids]
Notes:
Lipids are a group of naturally occurring molecules that include fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, phospholipids, and others. They encompass molecules such as fatty acids and their derivatives (including tri-, di-, monoglycerides, and phospholipids), as well as other sterolcontaining metabolites such as cholesterol.
39. At which stage in its life cycle does the silkworm yield the fibre of commercial use?
[A] Imago
[B] Larva
[C] Egg
[D] Pupa
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D [Pupa]
Notes:
It is during the pupa or cocoon stage that the silkworm yields the fibre of commercial use. As the silkworm prepares to pupate, it spins a protective cocoon. About the size and color of a cotton ball, the cocoon is constructed from one continuous strand of silk, perhaps 1.5 km long (nearly a mile). The silk cocoon serves as protection for the pupa.
40. Which one of the following is the respiratory pigment in man?
[A] Haemocyanin
[B] Haemoerythrin
[C] Haemoglobin
[D] b-Carotene
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C [Haemoglobin]
Notes:
A respiratory pigment is a molecule, such as haemoglobin in humans, that increases the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. The four most common invertebrate respiratory pigments are haemoglobin, haemocyanin, haemerythrin and chlorocruorin.
