Solution
The process of walking is under the control of the part of the brain called
A
optic lobe
B
olfactory lobe
C
cerebellum
D
medulla oblongata
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Coordination of voluntary movements. Most movements are composed of a number of different muscle groups acting together in a temporally coordinated fashion. One major function of the cerebellum is to coordinate the timing and force of these different muscle groups to produce fluid limb or body movements.

Solution
The ability of the eyes to focus on both near and distance objects is termed
A
image formation
B
refraction
C
hypermetropia
D
accommodation
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
The ability of the eye to focus distant as well as nearby objects clearly on the retina of the eye is called accommodation. When our eyes see distant objects then the ciliary muscles relax and the focal length is maximum in this position.

Floating microscopic heterotrophs are mostly grouped as
A
phytoplankton
B
zooplankton
C
microbes
D
nekton
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Phytoplankton are microscopic marine organisms that sit at the bottom of the food chain, most phytoplankton are buoyant and float in the upper part of the ocean. However, they are not heterotrophic like the zooplanktons.
microbes are living organisms around us that we can't see with our naked eyes.
nektons are organisms that are able to swim and move independently of current.

Solution
For growth to occur in organisms, the rate of
A
anabolism must exceed that of catabolism
B
catabolism must exceed that of anabolism
C
food storage must be low
D
food storage must be high
