13. What prevents backflow of blood inside the heart during contraction?
(a) Valves in heart (b) Thick muscular walls of ventricles
(c) Thin walls of atria (d) All of the above
Ans. (a) Valves in heart
14. In which of the following vertebrate group/groups, heart does not pump
oxygenated blood to different parts of the body?
(a) Pisces and amphibians (b) Amphibians and reptiles
(c) Amphibians only (d) Pisces only
Ans. (d) Pisces only
18. The opening and closing of the stomatal pore depends upon
(a) oxygen (b) temperature
(c) water in guard cells (d) concentration of CO2 in stomata
Ans. (c) Water in guard cells
22. During deficiency of oxygen in tissues of human beings, pyruvic acid is converted
into lactic acid in the
(a) cytoplasm (b) chloroplast (c) mitochondria (d) golgi body
Ans. (a) cytoplasm.
Ans: (a) plants absorbCO2from air and H2O from the soil as raw materials and
convert them intoGlucose.
The student then places the plant in light and tests the leaf after 5 hours for the
presence ofstarch. The portions inside the bottle shows negative starch test by
reflecting no change incolour when react with iodine, however, other upper portions
of the leaf gave positive starchtest showing blue-black colour with iodine. What can
be evaluated from this experiment?
(a) carbon dioxide is directly linked with the colour of leaf
(b) carbon dioxide is necessary for preparing carbohydrate
(c) lack of carbon dioxide increases amount of starch in plant
(d) lack of carbon dioxide slows the process of photosynthesis.
Ans: (b) carbon dioxide is necessary for preparing carbohydrate.
Ans: (c) by breaking down the nutrients of bread and then absorbing them.
28. A student sets up an experiment to study the role of enzymes in digestion of food.
29. The image shows the transport of gases in body through heart and lungs.
Which option correctly shows the transport of oxygen to the cell?
(a) Lungs →pulmonary vein →left atrium →left ventricle →aorta → body cells
(b) Lungs →pulmonary vein →right atrium →right ventricle → aorta → body cells
(c) Lungs →pulmonary artery →left atrium → left ventricle → vanacava → body cells
(d) Lungs →pulmonary artery →right atrium → right ventricle→ vanacava → body cells
Ans: (a) Lungs →pulmonary vein →left atrium →left ventricle →aorta → body cells
30. A student setup an experiment using a well-watered plant. The plant’s roots and
soilwere covered with a rubber sheet. The plant was then kept in a glass bell jar and
sealed with Vaseline at the bottom part to prevent the flow of air. The student keeps
the apparatus in the light and observes water drops inside the jar after 2 hours as
shown in the image.

DIRECTION : The following question consist of two statements - Assertion (A) and
Reason (R). Answer these questions selecting the appropriate option given below:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
(e) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
5. Assertion : Digestion breaks large complex molecules to simple smaller molecules which
can be easily absorbed.
Reason : Digestion is necessary for the absorption of all molecules.
Ans : (c) A is true but R is false.
7. Assertion : Egestion is the removal of nitrogenous waste products from the body.
Reason : Excretion is the discharge of undigested matter from the digestive tract.
Ans : (e) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
C. COMPREHENSIVE PASSAGE:
1.Question numbers 1.1–1.4 are based on the two table given below.
Study these tables related to blood pressure level and answer the
question that follow :
1.1 In the table B, at which time patent−Y have ideal normal blood pressure?
Ans : Afternoon (80-120)
1.2 Identify the patient, which have hypertension stage-1 blood pressure?
Ans : Patient X (82-132) Evening
1.3 Which Diet is the best for high blood pressure patient?
(a) Grain and fruits
(b) High fat dairy products
(c) Take large amount of sodium in diet
(d) All of the above
Ans : (a) Grain and fruits
1. Give one reason why multicellular organisms require special organs for exchange of gases
between their body and their environment.
Ans: Multicellular organisms need more O2 to perform various body functions. They therefore, have
special organs for exchange of gases.
2. State the basic difference between the process of respiration and photosynthesis.
Ans: Respiration uses O2 and releases CO2 but in photosynthesis, CO2 is used and O2 is released.
3. Where do plants get each of the raw materials required for photosynthesis?
Ans:
Plants get carbon dioxide from atmosphere through stomata and water from soil through roots
and transport to leaves.
4. What advantage over an aquatic organism does a terrestrial organism have with regard
to obtaining oxygen for respiration?
Ans: The amount of oxygen dissolved in water is very low, as compared to amount of oxygen in
air. Thus, terrestrial organism has to make less efforts to obtain oxygen than an aquatic organism
to obtain oxygen for respiration.
5. Specify two conditions in which photo-respiration may take place in green plants.
Ans:Two conditions in which photorespiration may take place in green plants are: (i) High
concentration of oxygen and (ii) High temperature.
6. Name the fundamental process in which living organisms release energy within their
cytoplasm.
Ans: Respiration.
7. Find the odd one out: (a) Trachea, Bronchus, Alveolus, Diaphragm. (b) Epiglottis,
Trachea, Malpighian corpuscles, Alveoli.
8. Why are lungs divided into very small sac-like structures called alveoli?
Ans: Lungs are divided into small sacs or alveoli to increase the surface area through which
respiratory exchange takes place.
10. Name the phase of the cardiac cycle in which both auricles and ventricles are relaxed
simultaneously.
Ans: Diastole.
