Solution
The yellowish colored liquid component of blood that normally holds the blood cells in suspension is
A
serum
B
plasma
C
water
D
thrombocyte
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Blood plasma is a yellowish colored liquid component of blood that normally holds the blood cells in whole blood in suspension; this makes plasma the extracellular matrix of blood cells. It makes up about 55% of the body's total blood volume.
blood plasma is a light yellow liquid, similar to the color of straw. Along with water, plasma carries salts and enzymes. The primary purpose of plasma is to transport nutrients, hormones, and proteins to the parts of the body that need it

cubozoa
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Modern cnidarians are generally classified into four main classes: sessile Anthozoa (sea anemones, corals, sea pens); swimming Scyphozoa (jellyfish) and Cubozoa (box jellies); and Hydrozoa
Turbellaria are one of the traditional sub-divisions of the phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms)

Diagram
Solution
What would happen if solution Y is more concentrated than solution X in fig 2
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
The level of X would rise, Y would falls
B
The level of X would rise, Y would rise
C
The level of X and Y stands the same
D
The level of Y would rise, X would fall.
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides Therefore, the level of Y (region of higher concentration) would rise, X (region of lower concentration) would fall to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides
This explain osmosis

Physiological adaptation to very dry conditions in animal demonstrates
A
Xeromorphism
B
Hibernation
C
Aestivation
D
Rejuvenation
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Aestivation or æstivation is a state of animal dormancy, similar to hibernation, although taking place in the summer rather than the winter. Aestivation is characterized by inactivity and a lowered metabolic rate, that is entered in response to high temperatures and arid conditions.

Transport System in Plants & Animals
Solution
Blood circulation in a mammal is said to be double because
A
It passes twice through the heart in a complete circuit
B
It moves in both arteries and veins
C
It circulates in both the hands and other organs
D
The heart contains auricles and ventricles
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Double circulation is the type of circulatory system that occurs in mammals, in which the blood passes through the heart twice before completing a full circuit of the body. Blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs and returns to the heart before being distributed to the other organs and tissues of the body. The heart is divided into two separate compartments to prevent oxygenated blood returning from the lungs from mixing with deoxygenated blood from the other parts of the body.

Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
A hygrometer is weather instrument used to measure the amount of humidity in the atmosphere. There are two main types of hygrometers -- a dry and wet bulb psychrometer and a mechanical hygrometer.
Humidity is the measure of the amount of moisture in the air. A psychrometer is an example of a hygrometer.

Cell & Its Environment (Diffusion, Osmosis & Transport)
Solution
Mineral salts can be absorbed into roots by
A
Osmosis only
B
Osmosis and diffusion
C
Diffusion and active transport
D
Imbition only
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Root hair cells are adapted to absorb the water out of soil by osmosis – they have a large surface area, thin walls and are close to the xylem cells used for transporting water up the plant. Minerals such as nitrate ions cannot be absorbed by osmosis (which is the movement of water only) or diffusion (because the minerals are in very low concentration). The root hair cells have carrier molecules on their surface that pick up the minerals and move them into the cell against the concentration gradient. This requires energy, and is called active transport

A plant tissue that carries water and mineral salt is
A
Xylem
B
Cortex
C
Phloem
D
Cambium
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots up to other parts of the plant, while phloem transports sucrose and amino acids between the leaves and other parts of the plant.
The xylem, vessels and tracheid’s of the roots, stems and leaves are interconnected to form a continuous system of water conducting channels reaching all parts of the plants.
