Solution
An association between the root nodule of a leguminous plant and rhizobium sp, is known as
A
commmensalism
B
mycorrhiza
C
parastism
D
symbiosis
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
The association between the root nodule of a leguminous plant and rhizobium sp is a symbiotic relationship that benefits both the plant and the bacteria.
Rhizobium bacteria are soil bacteria that infect the roots of leguminous plants and cause the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules. The bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, which the plant can use for growth and development. Leguminous plants on the other hand with their plant roots provide food to the rhizobia in the form of carbohydrates, such as malate and succinate.
Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic relationship between the roots of plants and fungi that benefits both organisms.

Solution
Amphibians are normally found
A
on dry land and water
B
in water and on moist land
C
on moist land
D
in water
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Amphibians are mostly semi-aquatic and spend part of their time on land and part in water. They typically start out as larvae living in water, but some species have developed behavioural adaptations to bypass this.
Amphibians require moist habitats, and relative humidities of about 80% work well for most species. Hence, they live in water as well as a moist land. Option B

Viviparity occurs mainly in the
A
mammals
B

D
amphibians
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Among animals, viviparity is development of the embryo inside the body of the parent, eventually leading to live birth, as opposed to reproduction by laying eggs that complete their incubation outside the parental body. This is found mainly in mammals.

The jointed structure in insects that bears organs which are sensitive to touch, smell and vibration is the
A
maxilla
B
labium
C
antenna
D
abdomen
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
The Antennae are sensory organs that are made up of one or more jointed segments and are attached to the first one or two segments of the insect's head.
Insects have paired antennae so they can smell in stereo. The jointed structure in insects that bears organs sensitive to touch, smell, and vibration is the antennae

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
Bryophyta- body differentiated but lack vascular system,no seed formation
Pteridophyta- well- differentiated body, vascular system present, no seeds formation
Gymnosperms- well-differentiated body with vascular system, seeds are naked(not enclosed in a fruit)
Angiosperms- well-differentiated body with vascular system, seeds are covered(enclosed in a fruit)

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.

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.

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.
