Question 11. Out of the following, what could be the reason for dwarfism?
  1.    Excessive production of growth hormone
  2.    Reduced production of growth hormone
  3.    Moderate production of growth hormone
  4.    There are other causes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Reduced production of growth hormone
:
B
One of the main hormones produced by pituitary is the growth hormone. This hormone is responsible for growth of the body. Excessive secretion of growth hormone causes gigantism and lack of growth hormone in a developing child causes dwarfism.
Question 12. The movement of plant part in the direction of light is:
  1.    Geotropism
  2.    Phototropism
  3.    Hydrotropism
  4.    Chemotropism
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Phototropism
:
B
Phototrophic movement is the growthof a plant in response tolight.
If the plant part growstowards light, it is called positive phototropism, and if the plant part growsaway from light, it is called negative phototropism. The shoot of a plant shows positive phototropism and the root of a plant shows negative phototropism.
Question 13. Which one of the following pair is correctly matched?
 
  1.    Gibberellin – internodal elongation
  2.    Cytokinin – fruit ripening 
  3.     Ethylene – apical dominance
  4.    (b) and (c) above.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Gibberellin – internodal elongation
:
A
Gibberellins promote internodal growth. Auxin helps in apical dominance. Cytokinin brings about cell division and ethylene promotes ripening of fruits.
Question 14. Match the following 
A. Fight or flight1. PituitaryB. Growth Hormone releasing factor2. ThyroidC. Growth hormone3. AdrenalineD. Iodine4. Hypothalamus
  1.    A - 1,  B - 3, C - 2, D - 4
  2.    A - 3,  B - 4 , C - 1, D - 2
  3.    A - 3,  B - 4, C - 2, D - 1
  4.    A - 3,  B - 2, C - 1 ,D - 4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> A - 3,  B - 4 , C - 1, D - 2
:
B
Adrenaline hormone is a crucial part of the body's fight-or-flight response.Adrenaline is produced bytheadrenal glands.
When the level of growth hormone is low, the hypothalamus releases growth hormone releasing factor which stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone.
Iodine is necessary for the thyroid gland to make thyroxin hormone.
Question 15. Which plant hormone promotes cell division and cell differentiation along with auxin?
  1.    Cytokinin
  2.    Gibberellin
  3.    Abscisic acid 
  4.    Ethylene 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Cytokinin
:
A
Cytokininspromote cell division, cell growth and differentiation along with auxin. Ethylene is responsible for fruit ripening. Abscisic acid helps the plant to sustain in adverse conditions. Gibberellins enable the plants to grow taller.
Question 16. The outermost covering of the brain is called ________ .
  1.    cerebrum 
  2.    cranium
  3.    scalp
  4.    vertebral column
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> cranium
:
B
The bony structure in our head is called the skull. Cranium is the part of the skull that encloses the brain. Three layers of meninges are present below the cranium. Eight bones enclose the brain and form the cranium and fourteen bones form the face. These bones together make up the skull.
Question 17. Spinal nerve is a type of __.
 Discuss Question

:
A spinal nerve is a mixed nerve, which carries motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body. In humans there are 31 pairs of spinal nerves, one on each side of the vertebral column.
Question 18. Which of the following hormones contain iodine and is required to initiate the metabolism of fat?
  1.    Thyroxine
  2.    Adrenaline
  3.     Insulin
  4.     Testosterone
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Thyroxine
:
A
Thyroxine, a hormone that contains iodine, is secreted by the thyroid gland. It increases the rate of cell metabolism and regulates growth. Thyroxine can also be made synthetically for the treatment of hypothyroidism.
Question 19. "Fight or Flight" response hormone is secreted by the ______ . 
  1.    pancreas
  2.    adrenal glands
  3.    pituitary gland
  4.    thyroid gland
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> adrenal glands
:
B
The adrenal glands are two glands that sit on top of our kidneys.They secrete the hormone known as adrenaline. Adrenaline creates a 'fight or flight' response. 'Fight or flight' is a type of response that helps us prepare to face or runaway froma dangerous situation.
Question 20. Nodes of Ranvier are present at:
  1.    Gaps in the cover of the nerve fibre.
  2.    Collection of nerves in the heart.
  3.    Covering of the nerve fibre.
  4.    Swelling along the nerve fibre.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Gaps in the cover of the nerve fibre.
:
A
Nodes Of Ranvier Are Present At:
The Nodes of Ranvier, also known as myelin sheath gaps, are the gaps (approximately 1
μm in length) formed between the myelin sheaths generated by Schwann cells. Electrical impulses jump from these nodes.
