(c) Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide
(d) Oxides of nitrogen - Biomagnification refers to
(a) Rapid growth due to excessive intake of
nutrients
(b) Increase in concentration of non-degradable
pollutants as they pass through food chain
(c) Decrease in population size

is not a correct approach to reduce global
warming?

population

1.Sol: In hyalonema, the root tuft passes as columella
and then forms gastral cone.
2.Sol: Presence of copulatory organs facilitates the act
of internal fertilization in higher animals. It helps
to transfer the male gamete in the cloaca or vagina.
3.Sol: Arthropods are covered with a tough, resilient
exoskeleton of chitin. Generally the exoskeleton
is made up of layers that include chitin microfibers
in a protein matrix or hardened proteins.
5.Sol: Pea is a leguminous plant which has the
symbiotic association with Rhizobium, hence is
capable of fixing nitrogen.
6.Sol: The enzyme carboxypeptidase A is secreted
by the pancreas and is used to speed up this
hydrolysis reaction.
7.Sol:The dental pulp is the part in the center of a
tooth made up of living connective tissue and
cells called odontoblasts.
8.Sol:Due to inadequate amount of albumin in blood
the abdomen appears bloated.
9.Sol:Oxygen is carried in the blood in two forms:
(1) dissolved in plasma and RBC water (about
2% of the total) and (2) reversibly bound to
haemoglobin (about 98% of the total).
11.Sol: Healthy blood pressure in adults is a reading
below 120 systolic or 80 diastolic. Blood pressure
between 120/80 to 140/90 is normal.
12.Sol:In Platyhelminthes (Planaria, liverfluke and
tapeworm) excretory organs are flame cells
which are enlarged terminal ends of capillaries
arising from excretory canals. The lumen of each
flame cell has a bunch of cilia which propels urine
into its capillary vessel
14.Sol: In the pectoral girdle, at point where the
superior and lateral borders of scapula meet,
there is a lateral angle that represents a shallow
articular surface called Glenoid cavity, the head
of humerus articulates into glenoid cavity.
15.Sol:Any break in continuity of bone is called
Fracture.They occur when the physical force
exerted on the bone is stronger than the bone
itself.
17.Sol:Meissner’s corpuscles are a type of
mechanoreceptor. They are superficially located
in the dermis. These corpuscles are thus sensitive
to touch and vibrations.
