Question 81. Most highly intelligent mammals are
  1.    whales
  2.    dolphins
  3.    elephants
  4.    kangaroos
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> dolphins
Dolphins are the most highly intelligent mammals.
Question 82. Prokaryotic cells lack
  1.    nucleolus
  2.    nuclear membrane
  3.    membrane bound by organelles
  4.    All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of these
Prokaryotic cells lack nucleolus, nuclear membrane and membrane bound by organelles.
Question 83. Plant development is influenced by
  1.    quality of light only
  2.    quality and quantity of light
  3.    quality and duration of light
  4.    quality, quantity and duration of light
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> quality, quantity and duration of light
Plant development is influenced by quality, quantity and duration of light. Plants cannot get too much light, but they can get too much of the heat energy that comes with the light.
Question 84. Photosynthesis takes place faster in
  1.    yellow light
  2.    white light
  3.    red light
  4.    darkness
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> white light
As far as the rate of photosynthesis is concerned, it is fastest in white light making the rate of photosynthesis maximum. After white, we have violet light where photosynthesis occur to a higher extent as it has the shortest wavelength hence has the max energy.
Question 85. Nucleus, the genetic material containing rounded body in each cell, was first discovered in 1831 by
  1.    Robert Hooke
  2.    Robert Brown
  3.    Rudolf Virchow
  4.    Theodore Schwann
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Robert Brown
Nucleus, the genetic material containing rounded body in each cell, was first discovered in 1831 by Robert Brown.
Question 86. Out of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates present in a cell membrane, what is true?
  1.    Lipids are maximum
  2.    Carbohydrates are minimum
  3.    Carbohydrates are maximum
  4.    All three are in equal proportion
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Carbohydrates are minimum
Carbohydrates are minimum in a cell membrane.
Question 87. Of the following taxonomic categories which is the most inclusive (i.e. is the highest in hierarchy)?
  1.    Order
  2.    Subspecies
  3.    Class
  4.    Genus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Class
Of the following taxonomic categories class is the most inclusive (i.e. is the highest in hierarchy).
Question 88. Myopia is connected with
  1.    ears
  2.    eyes
  3.    lungs
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> eyes
Myopia is connected with eyes.
Question 89. Potato is a modified form (outgrowth) of:
  1.    root
  2.    stem
  3.    fruit
  4.    leaf
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> stem
Potato is a modified form (outgrowth) of stem.
Question 90. Prothrombin which helps in clotting of blood is released by
  1.    lymphocytes
  2.    erythrocytes
  3.    monocytes
  4.    blood platelets
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> blood platelets
Prothrombin is a plasma protein which is converted into thrombin in the presence of thromboplastin released by platelets at the site of injury. The thrombin then converts protein fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin and thus aids in blood clotting.
