Question
CBSEENBI11024986

Assertion: Fi particles are present in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Reason: An electron gradient formed on the inner mitochondrial membrane, forms ATP.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

  • If assertion is true but reason is false

  • If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution

C.

If assertion is true but reason is false

Oxysomes or F0- F particles are present on the inner mitochondrial membrane. The Fi headpiece of oxysome functions as ATP-synthetase which synthesises ATP from ADP and pi (inorganic phosphate) using energy from proton gradient or ATP synthetase becomes active in ATP formation only when there is a proton gradient having high concentration of protons on F0 side (base) as compared to Fi side (head piece) of F0- Fparticles or oxysomes.

Assertion: Pituitary is attached to hypothalamus by a vein.

Reason: This attachment hypophysial portal vein.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

  • If assertion is true but reason is false

  • If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution

D.

If both assertion and reason are false.

Pituitary gland or hypophysis is situated in a depression, the sella turcica of sphenoid bone of the skull. It is directly attached to the hypothalamus by a stalk, the infundibulum. Hypophysial portal veins carry blood containing neurohormones (releasing factors) from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary. 

Question
CBSEENBI11024988

Assertion: Rabies is acute infectious disease of warm blooded mammals characterised by
involvement of central nervous system resulting in paralysis and finally death.

Reason: This is caused due to neurotropic filterable bacteria in saliva of rabid animals.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

  • If assertion is true but reason is false

  • If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution

C.

If assertion is true but reason is false

Rabies (hydrophobia) is an acute viral disease of the central nervous system that affects all warm-blooded animals and is usually transmitted to humans by a bite from an infected dog. Symptoms appear after an incubation period ranging from 10 days to over a year and include malaise, fever, difficulty in breathing, salivation, periods of intense excitement, and painful muscle spasms of the throat induced by swallowing. In the later stages ofthe disease the mere sight ofwater induces convulsions and paralysis, death occurs within 4-5 days.

Question
CBSEENBI11024989

Assertion: Rhabdome is present in Palaemon.

Reason: Rhabdome has an important role in digestion

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

  • If assertion is true but reason is false

  • If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution

C.

If assertion is true but reason is false

Inner ends of cone cells lie upon an elongated, spindle shaped rod, the rhabdome. Rhabdome is secreted and surrounded by a group of seven elongated retinal cells. Rhabdome , and retinal cells together form the receptor region of eye.

Question
CBSEENBI12046889

Two opposite forces operate in the growth and development of every population. One of them is related to the ability to reproduce at a given rate. The force opposite to it is called

  • fecundity

  • environmental resistances

  • biotic control

  • mortality.

Solution

B.

environmental resistances

The environmental factors which can check the growth of population size constitute the environmental resistance. These include predators, food, water, nesting sites, similar competitors, etc. All living things tend to reproduce until the point at which their environment becomes a limiting factor. No population, human or otherwise, can grow indefinitely; eventually, some biotic or abiotic variable will begin to limit population growth.
