Question 71. Most abundant tissues of our body are
  1.    muscular
  2.    connective
  3.    epithelial
  4.    nervous
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> connective
Among these Connective Tissue are most abundant in our body. Connective tissue is found in between other tissues everywhere in the body, including the nervous system.
Question 72. Most common disease of poultry in India is
  1.    fowl pox
  2.    tick fever
  3.    ranikhet
  4.    coryza
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> ranikhet
Most common disease of poultry in India is ranikhet.
Question 73. Rain water helps to increase the ____ to some extent.
  1.    phosphorous contents
  2.    nitrogen contents
  3.    calcium contents
  4.    potash contents
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> calcium contents
Rain water helps to increase the calcium contents to some extent.
Question 74. Mumps is a disease caused by
  1.    fungus
  2.    bacterium
  3.    virus
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> virus
Mumps is a contagious disease that is caused by a virus. It typically starts with a few days of fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness, and loss of appetite. Then most people will have swelling of their salivary glands.
Question 75. Number of chromosomes in down's syndrome is
  1.    46
  2.    47
  3.    48
  4.    49
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 47
Number of chromosomes in down's syndrome is 47.
Question 76. Movement of cell against concentration gradient is called
  1.    osmosis
  2.    active transport
  3.    diffusion
  4.    passive transport
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> active transport
Active transport, this is the only transport method that can move species against their concentration gradient (from low to high concentration). Facilitated diffusion only moves species down their concentration gradient from high to low concentration.
Question 77. Plants synthesis protein from
  1.    starch
  2.    sugar
  3.    amino acids
  4.    fatty acids
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> amino acids
We know that, proteins are polymers of amino acids. So, plants are also used to synthesise protein from amino acids. Hence, plants synthesis protein from amino acids in the presence of ATP by specific synthetases.
Question 78. Most fish do not sink in water because of the presence of:
I. swim bladder
II. air bladder
III. air sacs
IV. air in spongy bones
  1.    I and II are correct
  2.    II and III are correct
  3.    III and IV are correct
  4.    I, II, III and IV are correct
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> I and II are correct
Fishes have a swim bladder or air bladder which helps them to remain buoyant without sinking in water. They are present in the body cavity.
Question 79. Photosynthesis generally takes place in which parts of the plant?
  1.    Leaf and other chloroplast bearing parts
  2.    steam and leaf
  3.    Roots and chloroplast bearing parts
  4.    Bark and leaf
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Leaf and other chloroplast bearing parts
In plants, the process of photosynthesis takes place in the mesophyll of the leaves, inside the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain disc-shaped structures called thylakoids, which contain the pigment chlorophyll.
Question 80. Plants absorb dissolved nitrates from soil and convert them into
  1.    free nitrogen
  2.    urea
  3.    ammonia
  4.    proteins
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> free nitrogen
The plant cells absorb nitrates from the soil and convert them into ammonia which ultimately reduced to ammonium ions (NH4+). These ammonium ions are then combined with organic compounds to form amino acids such as glutamine i.e., free nitrogen. This process of conversion is known as nitrogen fixation.
