  2.    2
  3.    3-5
  4.    Numerous
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Numerous
The biological parameters, which included cell width, cell length, number of chloroplast spirals, and number of pyrenoids, ranged from 40 to 90 μm, 85 to 263 μm, 5.5 to 16 spiral, and 50 to 240 pyrenoids, respectively.
Question 52. Example of a single celled organism.
  1.    Algae
  2.    Amoeba
  3.    Paramaecium
  4.    All of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of the above
Algae, Amoeba and Paramaecium all are single celled organism.
Question 53. Chlamydomonas prefers water rich in
  1.    Ammonic compounds
  2.    Uric acid compounds
  3.    Sulphur compounds
  4.    Urea compounds
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Ammonic compounds
Chlamydomonas is widely distributed in freshwater or damp soil. It is generally found in a habitat rich in ammonium salt.
Question 54. Microscopic organism which passively float on the surface of water is called
  1.    Phytoplanktons
  2.    Zooplanktons
  3.    Both (a) and (b) both
  4.    None to these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Both (a) and (b) both
Microscopic organism which passively float on the surface of water is called Zooplanktons and Phytoplanktons.
Question 55. Nuclear membrane is absent in
  1.    Volvox
  2.    Penicillium
  3.    Agaricus
  4.    Nostoc
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Nostoc
Penicillium and Agaricus are fungi while Volvox is an alga. All three are eukaryotes thus have a membrane bound nucleus. Nostoc is a cyanobacterium, i.e., prokaryote, so it lacks true nucleus, thus nuclear membrane is absent.
Question 56. Where the mature sperm are produced?
  1.    Scrotum
  2.    Vas deferens
  3.    Prostate gland
  4.    Testes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Testes
The structure on top of the seminiferous tubules in the testes is the epididymis. The sperm migrate from of the seminiferous tubules to the epididymis. Within the epididymis, the sperm mature while they are stored in this structure.
Question 57. Which statement concerning the diagnosis of ADHD is true?
  1.    Boys are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than girls
  2.    Most children "outgrow" symptoms of ADHD
  3.    About 20 percent of school-age children are diagnosed with ADHD
  4.    Racial minority status is a good predictor of being diagnosed with ADHD
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Boys are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than girls
Boys are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than girls. Racial minority status is a good predictor of being diagnosed with ADHD.
Question 58. According to Erikson, the goal of adolescence is to
  1.    Independent identity
  2.    Explore who they are
  3.    Both a & b

Question 59. During rainy season wooden doors are difficult to open or closure because of ?
  1.    Imbibition
  2.    Plasmolysis
  3.    Diffusion
  4.    Osmosis
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Imbibition
Imbibition is a process in which the biological colloidal substances absorb water and show swelling and increase in volume. This happens when the wood of doors and window absorb water and swell during rainy season and cause problems as these do not fit in the frame and do not get closed.
Question 60. Which one of the following weeds is effective in controlling water pollution caused by industrial effluents?
  1.    Parthenium
  2.    Elephant grass
  3.    Water hycinth
