Solution
Which of following groups is the most advanced?
A
Pteridophytes
B
Bryophytes
C
Thallophytes
D
Gymnosperm
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Pteridophytes don't have seeds. They propagate by spores. · Gymnosperms are the earliest seed plants. Gymnosperms have advanced reproductive structures compared to pteridophytes. Gymnosperms produce seeds as well. Gymnosperms are the most advanced. Option D is the correct answer
Thallophyta- body not differentiated into roots and stem,no vascular system,no seed formation

Variety of Organisms & Classification of Living Things
Solution
The mode of feeding in Amoeba and Hydra is
A
heterotrophic
B
holophytic
C
autotrophic
D
symbiotic
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Amoeba and hydra are both heterotrophs, meaning they consume organic material and smaller organisms.
Holophytic nutrition is the same as autotrophic nutrition. Both terms refer to the process by which organisms create their own food using inorganic materials, such as water, carbon dioxide, and mineral salts, in the presence of sunlight.
Symbiotic nutrition is a type of interaction between two organisms where they share shelter and nourishment, and both benefit from the relationship.

Nervous, Hormonal Coordination & Sense Organs
Solution
The center for learning and memory in the human brain is the
A
medulla oblongata
B
cerebellum
C
cerebrum
D
olfactory lobe
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Medulla oblongata is the bottom-most part of your brain. Its location means it's where your brain and spinal cord connect, making it a key conduit for nerve signals to and from your body. It also helps control vital processes like your heartbeat, breathing and blood pressure.
The cerebellum coordinates and regulates muscle tone, balance, and posture. The cerebellum plays a role in higher-order functions, including cognitive, emotional, and reward processes.
The Cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, making up about 80% of it. It's responsible for memory, intelligence, emotions, personality, and more. It is the center for intelligence, memory, and emotions. It coordinates voluntary muscle movements and helps in maintaining posture and balance.
The olfactory lobe's main function is to transmit the sense of smell.

Excretion & Homeostasis
Solution
Urea formation occurs in the
A
heart
B
liver
C
lung
D
kidney
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
The functions of the heart are to pump blood and oxygen around the body and deliver waste products (carbon dioxide) back to the lungs to be removed.
Urea is produced in the liver:
Production: The liver produces urea through a series of biochemical reactions called the urea cycle. The urea cycle converts ammonia, a toxic waste product from the breakdown of amino acids, into urea, which is nontoxic and water-soluble.
Transport: Urea is dissolved into the blood and transported to the kidneys.
Excretion: The kidneys excrete urea in urine along with water and other waste products.

Solution
A seedling grown in the dark is likely to be
A
etiolated
B
dormant
C
sturdy
D
stunted
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
A seedling grown in the dark will eventually die because it won't have enough energy or food to grow. Seedlings grown in the dark grow taller than seedlings grown in the light, but without much leaf development. This is because they use stored chemical energy in their cells to grow. They become etiolated(pale and drawn out due to a lack of light).

Respiration & Gaseous Exchange
Solution
When yeast respire anaerobically, it converts simple sugar to carbon (IV) oxide and
A
oxygen
B
acid
C
alcohol
D
water
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
When yeast breaks down sugar through anaerobic respiration, it produces ethanol, carbon dioxide, and energy. This process is also known as fermentation.
Yeast uses anaerobic respiration when oxygen is not available. This type of respiration is important economically because it's used to make foods like bread and alcoholic drinks.

Transport System in Plants & Animals
Solution
The transportation of oxygen and carbon (IV) oxide in mammals is carried out by
A
leucocytes
B
thrombocytes
C
phagocytes
D
erythrocytes
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
White blood cells are also called leukocytes. They protect you against illness and disease. Think of white blood cells as your immunity cells.
Platelets, or thrombocytes, are small, colourless cell fragments in our blood that form clots and stop or prevent bleeding. Platelets are made in our bone marrow, the sponge-like tissue inside our bones.
Phagocytes are a type of white blood cell (leukocyte) that are part of the immune system's defense mechanism.
Red blood cells (RBCs) transport oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues. RBCs contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen. The Red blood cells are also referred to as erythrocytes.
