Detalles de la respuesta

In grasshopper/cockroach digestion starts from the mouth. When they eat, their mouthparts cut and grind the food. Saliva is added to the food to help moisten and digest it. The food then passes through the oesophagus, crop, gizzard and midgut where further digestion and absorption of nutrients occurs.

Which of these is not a true characteristic of the tropical rain forest?

Detalles de la respuesta

The characteristic that is not true of tropical rainforest is "Annual rainfall is less than 100 cm". This statement is incorrect because the tropical rainforest is known to have high annual rainfall, typically ranging from 1750 to 2000 mm (or 175-200 cm) per year. The other characteristics mentioned are true of tropical rainforests. Tropical rainforests are characterized by tall trees with thick canopies, epiphytes and climbers, low light intensity, high humidity, and damp floors. The fruits of trees are often large-sized and adapted for dispersal by animals rather than wind.

Which of these instruments can be used to perform an experiment on geotropism?

Detalles de la respuesta

The instrument that can be used to perform an experiment on geotropism is the klinostat. A klinostat is a device that is used to study geotropism, which is the growth of a plant in response to gravity. It is designed to rotate a plant at a constant speed, which cancels out the effect of gravity, and allows the experimenter to study the effects of other stimuli, such as light, on the growth and orientation of the plant. Therefore, the correct answer is the third option, klinostat. The other options are instruments used for different experiments in biology, such as measuring water uptake in plants (potometer), wind speed (cup anemometer), recording muscle movements (kymograph), and blood pressure (sphygmomanometer).

The statements below are about evolution of species
I. Members of a species vary ll. Organisms produce many offspring lll. The mechanism of evolution is
inheritance of acquired characters IV. Changes in the phenotype is brought about by the individual itself

Which of the statement(s) is/are related to the Darwin’s theory of evolution?

Detalles de la respuesta

The statement(s) related to Darwin's theory of evolution are II and IV only. Darwin's theory of evolution states that organisms produce many offspring and members of a species vary. This variation leads to differences in phenotype, which can be selected for by the environment. The changes in the phenotype are not brought about by the individual itself, but rather by natural selection acting on the variation present in the population. Therefore, statement III, which refers to the inheritance of acquired characters, is not related to Darwin's theory of evolution.

Detalles de la respuesta

Hydra captures small crustaceans by means of tentacles. Hydra is a freshwater cnidarian that feeds on small aquatic organisms, such as crustaceans, by using its tentacles. These tentacles are armed with specialized stinging cells called nematocysts, which can immobilize and capture prey. Once the prey is immobilized, the tentacles bring it to the mouth of the Hydra, where it is engulfed and digested.

Which of the following is not an aquatic habitat?

Detalles de la respuesta

The option that is not an aquatic habitat is "Rainforest". Rainforest is a terrestrial habitat found in areas with high rainfall and biodiversity. It is characterized by tall trees, dense vegetation, and high humidity. On the other hand, aquatic habitats are those that are in or near water. These habitats can be freshwater or saltwater, and may include ponds, estuaries, swamps, and salt lakes.

Detalles de la respuesta

Fat droplets are not cell organelles. They are storage structures that are found within cells, especially adipose cells. These droplets are made up of triglycerides, which are fats that have been stored for future use. Cell organelles, on the other hand, are specialized structures within cells that perform specific functions. Examples of cell organelles include the nucleus, ribosomes, Golgi body, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and chloroplasts (in plant cells).

Which of the following is an abiotic factor which affects a population?

Detalles de la respuesta

Temperature is an abiotic factor that affects a population. Abiotic factors are non-living components of an ecosystem, and they can have a significant impact on the growth and survival of organisms. Temperature affects the metabolism, reproduction, and behavior of organisms, and it can also influence the distribution and abundance of species in an ecosystem. For example, some species are adapted to specific temperature ranges and may struggle to survive or reproduce outside of those ranges. Therefore, changes in temperature can have profound effects on populations and communities of organisms.

The most sensitive part of the retina is called the fovea centralis. It is located at the center of the macula lutea, which is a small yellowish spot in the retina responsible for central vision. The fovea contains a high concentration of cone cells, which are responsible for color vision and visual acuity (sharpness of vision). The fovea is important because it allows us to see fine details and perceive colors with greater clarity than other parts of the retina.

The need for conservation includes the following except to

Detalles de la respuesta

The need for conservation aims to protect natural resources for the benefit of current and future generations. It involves preserving them for scientific and recreational purposes, ensuring that everybody benefits from them, and keeping them sustainable for continued use. However, the option that does not fit in with these objectives is to maximize the use of natural resources. Conservation focuses on using natural resources sustainably, which means using them in a way that balances their benefits with their impact on the environment. Therefore, maximizing the use of natural resources could lead to their depletion and ultimately undermine the goals of conservation.

Detalles de la respuesta

The term for the maintenance of a constant internal environment of an organism is called "homeostasis". It refers to the process of regulating the internal conditions of an organism despite changes in the external environment. This allows the organism to maintain a stable and functional state, which is necessary for survival and proper physiological functioning. Homeostasis is achieved through various biological processes, such as feedback mechanisms, hormonal regulation, and physiological responses to environmental stimuli.

Which of the following resources is non-renewable?

Detalles de la respuesta

The non-renewable resource among the options provided is minerals. Minerals are naturally occurring substances that are extracted from the earth for human use, such as for building materials, electronics, and fuel. Unlike renewable resources such as forests and livestock, minerals are finite and their reserves can be depleted over time with extraction and use. Therefore, they are considered non-renewable resources.

Which of the labelled structures is the nucleus?

Detalles de la respuesta

The nucleus is labelled structure II. The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that contains genetic material (DNA) and regulates the activities of the cell by controlling gene expression. It is usually the largest organelle in eukaryotic cells and is responsible for the cell's growth, metabolism, and reproduction. In the given options, structure II is the only one that resembles the typical appearance of a nucleus with a round shape, distinct boundary, and a dense, central region called the nucleolus.

Which of the following is the effect of continuous tillage on an ecological system?

Detalles de la respuesta

Continuous tillage can have a negative impact on an ecological system, which is a decrease in productivity. This is because continuous tillage causes soil erosion, which leads to a decrease in soil fertility and loss of important nutrients. As a result, the yield of crops will decrease over time. Additionally, continuous tillage also leads to the destruction of soil structure, which is an important aspect of soil health.

Which of the following statements about the lymphatic system is not correct?

Detalles de la respuesta

The statement "The lymph vessels are always larger in size than the arteries" is not correct. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to different parts of the body, while lymph vessels are part of the lymphatic system and carry lymph, a fluid that contains immune cells and waste products, from the body tissues back to the bloodstream. Lymph vessels are generally smaller in size than arteries. The other statements are correct. The flow of lymph is assisted by general muscular movement, lymph flows only in one direction due to the presence of valves, lymph is emptied into the blood circulatory system through a vein, and lymph nodes become swollen during serious infections as a result of increased immune activity.

Which of the following is a social insect?

Detalles de la respuesta

The social insects are those insects that live in colonies or groups and exhibit cooperative behaviors. Of the options listed, the honey bee is a social insect because they live in colonies with a queen bee, worker bees, and drones. They have a complex social organization and division of labor, with each individual having a specific role to play in the colony. In contrast, mosquitoes, butterflies, grasshoppers, and cockroaches are not social insects and generally live solitary lives.

Which of the following is responsible for the conversion of nitrites to nitrates in the nitrogen cycle?

Detalles de la respuesta

Nitrifying bacteria are responsible for the conversion of nitrites to nitrates in the nitrogen cycle. This process is known as nitrification and involves two separate steps. First, nitrosomonas bacteria convert ammonia (NH3) to nitrite (NO2-), and then nitrobacter bacteria convert nitrite (NO2-) to nitrate (NO3-). Nitrates are an important form of nitrogen that plants can use to grow. Without nitrifying bacteria, the nitrogen cycle would be incomplete and plants would not have access to the nitrogen they need to survive.

Which of the following levels of organisation in living things is in the correct sequence, starting from the
most complex to me simplest?

Detalles de la respuesta

The correct sequence, starting from the most complex to the simplest level of organization in living things, is: System → Organ → Tissue → Cell. Explanation: A system is made up of different organs that work together to perform specific functions, such as the digestive system or the circulatory system. Organs are composed of different tissues that work together, for example, the heart is made up of muscle tissue, connective tissue, and nervous tissue. Tissues are made up of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function. Cells are the smallest unit of life, and they are the building blocks of tissues. Therefore, the correct sequence, starting from the most complex to the simplest level of organization, is System → Organ → Tissue → Cell.

Which of the following statements is not true about chromosomes?

Detalles de la respuesta

Homologous chromosomes do not occur in pairs naturally is not a true statement about chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs (one from each parent) that are similar in size, shape, and carry the same genes but can have different alleles. They occur naturally in diploid cells, which have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. The other statements are true about chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of two chromatids that are held together by a centromere. Body cells have diploid numbers of chromosomes, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. The sex cells have haploid number of chromosomes, meaning they have only one set of chromosomes. Finally, chromosomes have many transverse bands that help to distinguish one chromosome from another and aid in their identification.

ln which of the following structures will cells undergoing meiosis be seen?

Detalles de la respuesta

Cells undergoing meiosis are seen in the ovary of a flower. Meiosis is a type of cell division that leads to the formation of sex cells (gametes) such as sperm and egg cells. In flowering plants, the ovary is the female reproductive organ that contains the ovules which eventually develop into seeds. During meiosis, the diploid cells in the ovary divide to form haploid cells that become the egg cells. Therefore, meiosis occurs in the ovary of a flower, where the reproductive cells are formed.

Which of the following statements is not true of population?

Detalles de la respuesta

The statement "Members of a population may be of the same species but do not interbreed" is not true of a population. A population is defined as a group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area and can interbreed. If members of the same species do not interbreed, they belong to different populations. Therefore, this statement is not true of a population.

The following are pathways of energy in the biosphere
I. Heat energy is lost from body metabolism to the surrounding air II. Energy passes to decomposers and
parasites III. Energy is transferred to the next higher level in a food chain IV. Energy is also passed
by conduction to clothing and other objects

Detalles de la respuesta

Plasmodium is a parasitic organism that lives inside the red blood cells of its host. Therefore, the pathway of energy that will reach Plasmodium in the red blood cells is pathway II only, which is "Energy passes to decomposers and parasites". In this pathway, energy is transferred from one organism to another in a food chain, and in the case of Plasmodium, it gets its energy from the red blood cells it infects. Pathways I, III, and IV are not relevant to the energy transfer to Plasmodium as they do not involve the transfer of energy to parasites.

Which of the following fields of study may not yield strong evidence of evolution?

Detalles de la respuesta

Ecology may not yield strong evidence of evolution. Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with their environment, their behavior, and their distribution. While it can provide indirect evidence of evolution, such as changes in species distribution over time, it does not directly study the genetic changes that drive evolution. In contrast, fields like genetics, cytology, and histology can provide direct evidence of evolutionary changes at the genetic and cellular levels, and fossils provide direct evidence of changes in the physical structures of organisms over time.

What type of relationship exists in the large intestine of the sheep, between bacteria and the sheep?

Detalles de la respuesta

The type of relationship that exists in the large intestine of sheep between bacteria and the sheep is symbiosis. Symbiosis refers to a close and long-term interaction between two different species, where both benefit from the relationship. In the large intestine of sheep, bacteria break down the cellulose and other complex substances in the plant material consumed by the sheep, producing simpler compounds that the sheep can digest and utilize for energy. The bacteria, in turn, obtain a stable habitat and a constant supply of nutrients from the sheep's intestine. This mutualistic relationship benefits both the bacteria and the sheep, and is an example of symbiosis.

In a water culture experiment, the culture solution in a transparent beaker turned green. What precaution
should have been taken to prevent the culture solution from turning green?

Detalles de la respuesta

The culture solution turned green due to the growth of algae. Algae can grow in water culture experiments when there is sufficient light and nutrients present in the solution. To prevent the culture solution from turning green, the beaker should have been covered with a dark material or placed in a dark environment to limit the amount of light reaching the solution. This will reduce the amount of light available for the growth of algae. Alternatively, the experiment could have been carried out in a growth chamber where the light intensity and duration can be controlled to prevent excessive growth of algae.

Detalles de la respuesta

The movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from a weaker solution to a stronger solution is known as osmosis. In osmosis, water moves across a membrane from a region of high water concentration (weaker solution) to a region of low water concentration (stronger solution) in an attempt to equalize the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane. This process continues until the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane is the same or until the pressure on the stronger side is too high for water to move.

Which of these is not a hereditary variation?

Which of the following is not a way of conserving natural resources?

Detalles de la respuesta

Encouraging poaching is not a way of conserving natural resources. Poaching refers to the illegal hunting, killing or capturing of wild animals, which can lead to the depletion of animal populations and loss of biodiversity. Conservation, on the other hand, involves the protection and management of natural resources to ensure their sustainable use for present and future generations. Therefore, encouraging poaching would not be a way of conserving natural resources, but rather, it would lead to their destruction.

Which of the following are the final products of aerobic respiration?

Detalles de la respuesta

The correct answer is "Water, carbon dioxide and energy." During aerobic respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce water, carbon dioxide and energy. The process occurs in the mitochondria of the cell and involves several steps, including glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. The energy produced is in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is used by the cell for various metabolic activities.

Which of the following is the correct method of collecting soil organism?

Detalles de la respuesta

One of the ecological conditions which favour the spread of malaria is

Detalles de la respuesta

The ecological condition which favours the spread of malaria is the presence of stagnant water in ponds. Stagnant water provides a suitable breeding environment for mosquitoes, which are the vectors responsible for transmitting the malaria parasite to humans. The mosquitoes lay their eggs on the surface of stagnant water, and the larvae develop in the water. If the water is not disturbed, it can serve as a breeding ground for many generations of mosquitoes, increasing the risk of malaria transmission in the area. Therefore, the proper management of stagnant water in ponds is necessary to control the spread of malaria.

Detalles de la respuesta

The entire habits and habitat of an organism can be described as its ecological niche. An ecological niche includes all the physical, chemical, and biological factors that an organism needs to survive and reproduce in its environment. This includes its food sources, shelter, temperature, humidity, and other abiotic factors, as well as its interactions with other organisms in the community, such as predators, competitors, and symbiotic partners. The ecological niche is a fundamental concept in ecology and helps us understand how different species interact and coexist in their environment.

Option II - Thoracic vertebrae articulate with the ribs. The thoracic vertebrae are the twelve vertebrae of the upper back, between the cervical (neck) vertebrae and the lumbar vertebrae. Each thoracic vertebrae has a pair of ribs attached to it on either side. The rib bone curves around and attaches to the vertebra, forming a joint that allows for movement during breathing. Therefore, the correct answer is II.

One of Mendel’s experiments was repeated by crossing a red variety of pepper with that of a yellow variety
which produced all red offspring. The red offspring were then self pollinated and these produced both red
and yellow pepper. The yellow colour can be said to be

Detalles de la respuesta

The yellow color in this case can be said to be recessive to red. This is because when the red variety of pepper was crossed with the yellow variety, all the offspring produced were red, indicating that the red trait was dominant. When these red offspring were self-pollinated, they produced both red and yellow peppers, indicating that the yellow trait was present but hidden in the previous generation. This suggests that the yellow trait is recessive to the red trait. In genetics, dominant traits mask recessive traits, and recessive traits only express themselves in the presence of two copies of the same gene (homozygous recessive) or in combination with a dominant allele (heterozygous). Therefore, the yellow pepper in this case is homozygous or heterozygous for the recessive trait.

Which of these groups of organisms is responsible for capturing energy for the biotic community?

Detalles de la respuesta

Producers are the organisms responsible for capturing energy for the biotic community. They are typically plants or algae that can convert energy from the sun through photosynthesis into a form that can be used by other organisms. This energy is then passed on to other organisms in the food chain. Consumers, omnivores, detritus feeders and decomposers all rely on producers to obtain energy for survival.

Detalles de la respuesta

The part labelled I in A represents the "hypocotyl". The hypocotyl is the part of the embryonic stem of a plant that is located between the cotyledons (seed leaves) and the radicle (embryonic root). It is responsible for the elongation of the stem during germination and emergence of the seedling from the soil. The hypocotyl also helps to support the cotyledons and protects the developing shoot apical meristem.

Which of the following processes is not due to interaction between the biotic and abiotic components of an
ecosystem?

Detalles de la respuesta

Biotic components refer to living things, while abiotic components refer to non-living things. The interaction between the biotic and abiotic components is what makes up an ecosystem. Out of the options given, "osmosis" is not due to interaction between the biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration. It is a physical process that occurs due to differences in water concentration and does not involve living organisms or the environment. The other options - soil nutrient depletion, condensation, decomposition, and photosynthesis - all involve interactions between living organisms and the environment. Soil nutrient depletion occurs when living organisms consume nutrients from the soil, leading to a decrease in the availability of nutrients for other organisms. Condensation is a process that occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere interacts with cooler air, leading to the formation of clouds and precipitation. Decomposition is the breakdown of organic matter by microorganisms, which releases nutrients back into the soil. Photosynthesis is a process in which plants use energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Therefore, the correct answer is "osmosis."

Which of the following pairs consists of gametes?

Detalles de la respuesta

Gametes are reproductive cells that fuse during sexual reproduction to form a zygote. Out of the given options, the pair of gametes is "Ova and spermatozoa". Ova, also known as eggs, are female gametes produced in the ovary, while spermatozoa are male gametes produced in the testes. When they unite during fertilization, they form a zygote, which develops into a new individual.

Detalles de la respuesta

The phenomenon whereby some organisms get established in an environment after struggling for existence by taking advantage of some special features possessed by the organism is called natural selection. Natural selection is the process by which organisms with advantageous traits or characteristics are more likely to survive and reproduce in a given environment compared to those with less advantageous traits. As a result, the advantageous traits become more common in the population over time, leading to the evolution of new species. This process is driven by competition for resources and other environmental pressures, such as predators or disease, that favor certain traits over others.

Which of the following is more concentrated in the blood within the renal artery than the blood within the
renal vein?

Detalles de la respuesta

Urea is more concentrated in the blood within the renal artery than the blood within the renal vein. The renal artery carries blood from the heart to the kidneys, while the renal vein carries blood from the kidneys back to the heart. The kidneys filter waste products from the blood, and urea is one of the primary waste products of protein metabolism. As blood flows through the kidneys, urea is removed from the blood and excreted in the urine. Therefore, the blood within the renal vein has a lower concentration of urea compared to the blood within the renal artery, as the renal vein has already undergone filtration and removal of waste products.
