Q2.The morphological changes are indicative of certain element deficiencies and are called
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
Deficiency symptoms are morphological changes in plants, indicating nutrient deficiency. Deficiency symptoms vary from one element to another.
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma.
In certain organisms, these smaller substances are absorbed through the small intestine into the blood stream.
Q4.Due to refractory period , a nerve fibre in human body on an average transmits about :
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
Refractory period is the time taken to nerve become ready to conduct other impulse. Due to this refractory period, a nerve fibre in human body on an average transmits about 1000 impulses per seconds.
Q5.The process of fusion between one large and non-motile female gamete with smaller, motile male gamete is termed as
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution:
Fusion between one large, non-motile female gamete and a smaller, motile male gamete is termed as oogamous e.g., Volvox, Fucus.
Q6.The photograph or diagram of metaphasic chromosome arranged in homologous pair according to their length and thickness, position of centromere is called
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution:
Idiogram is a diagrammatic or systematized representation of the chromosome complement of an individual, species, or other group of organisms, indicating the number of chromosomes and their lengths, arm length ratio, centromere position, banding pattern.

Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution: The pathway of photosynthesis was discovered by Melvin Calvin after experiment on single celled algae. The first stable product of C3 cycle is a three carbon compound called PGA (phosphoglyceric acid).
Q8.Respiration in insects is direct due to exchange of gases
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
Insects have spiracles on their exoskeletons to allow air to enter the trachea. In insects, the tracheal tubes primarily deliver oxygen directly into the insects' tissues. The spiracles can be opened and closed in an efficient manner to reduce water loss. This is done by contracting closer muscles surrounding the spiracle.
Q10.In yeast, during fermentation the glycolysis pathway leads to
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
Yeast cells obtain energy under anaerobic conditions using a very similar process called alcoholic fermentation.
Glycolysis is the chemical breakdown of glucose to lactic acid. Alcoholic fermentation is identical to glycolysis except for the final step.
In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvic acid is broken down into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
