Which of the following materials is not a living semi-permeable membrane?
A
pig's bladder
B
Unripe pawpaw fruit
C
Yam tuber
D
Sheet of cellophane
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Semipermeable membrane is a type of biological or synthetic, polymeric membrane that will allow certain molecules or ions to pass through it by osmosis. There are two examples of semi-permeable membrane, which are non-living and living semi-permeable membrane. Examples of non-living semi-permeable membrane which are permeable to water but not solvent e.g copper sulphate solution are visking tube, parchment and cellophane.

Solution
What happens when the ciliary muscles of the eye contract? The
A
lens become more concave
B
lens become more convex
C
lens gets a longer focal length
D
suspensory ligament becomes tight
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
When the ciliary muscles of the eye contract, the lens becomes more convex. This is because the contraction of the ciliary muscles reduces the tension on the suspensory ligaments holding the lens in place, allowing the lens to take on a more rounded (convex) shape. This increases the lens's refractive power, allowing for closer objects to be brought into focus.
