Question 41

Only specially adapted micro-organisms are found in
Show explanation Expand Question
Extremophiles, such as halophiles, are micro-organisms specially adapted to survive in highly saline environments where normal organisms cannot live, demonstrating how adaptation allows life in extreme conditions.

Question 42

Plants which can survive in extremely dry places are called
Show explanation Expand Question
Xerophytes are adapted to arid environments. They have features like thick cuticles, reduced leaf surface area, and water storage tissues that enable survival in conditions with very limited water availability.
Not clear enough?

Question 43

The presence of ______ for swimming in a tad-pole enables it to adapt in an aquatic habitat.
Show explanation Expand Question
Tadpoles possess tails that provide propulsion in water, allowing efficient swimming. This morphological adaptation ensures they can escape predators, find food, and navigate aquatic environments during their larval stage.

Question 44

Possession of thin membrane enables a tapeworm to
Show explanation Expand Question
Tapeworms have a thin, highly absorptive body wall, allowing them to absorb nutrients directly from the host’s intestine efficiently. This adaptation compensates for their lack of a digestive system.
Not clear enough?

Question 45

Which of the following juices contains the enzyme ptyalin?
Show explanation Expand Question
Saliva contains the enzyme ptyalin (salivary amylase), which begins the digestion of starch into maltose in the mouth. This enzymatic activity is a key step in carbohydrate metabolism.
Not clear enough?

Question 46

Which of the following essential substance is contained in vegetable?
Show explanation Expand Question
Vegetables are rich sources of mineral salts such as calcium, potassium, and iron. These minerals are essential for human nutrition, supporting functions like bone development, nerve conduction, and enzymatic reactions.

Question 47

Good quality food will perform the following functions in human except
Show explanation Expand Question
While good quality food provides energy, nutrients, and supports health and growth, it does not directly confer immunity to specific diseases like malaria, which is caused by parasites transmitted by mosquitoes.
Not clear enough?

Question 48

Which of the following is considered to be the first product of Photosynthesis?
Show explanation Expand Question
The first product of photosynthesis is glucose, which is later stored in plants as starch. Photosynthesis captures light energy, converts CO₂ and H₂O into glucose, forming the primary energy source for plants.
Not clear enough?

Question 49

Which of the blood corpuscles are irregular and amoeboid in shape
Show explanation Expand Question
Leucocytes (white blood cells) are irregular in shape and can move like amoebae. This flexibility allows them to migrate through capillary walls and engulf pathogens, playing a key role in the immune response.
Not clear enough?

Question 50

Which organ removes the largest quantity of water from the blood?
Show explanation Expand Question
The kidneys filter blood to remove water and soluble wastes, forming urine. They are the primary organs responsible for maintaining water balance, electrolyte levels, and excretion of nitrogenous waste.
