Question 51.


What is/are the end product(s) of fat digestion?


  1.     Glucose
  2.     Fatty acids 
  3.     Glycerol
  4.     Amino acids
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Fatty acids 
:
B and C

Bile is a green fluid secreted by the liver that helps in breaking down large fat molecules into smaller globules to ease it's digestion process. The actual digestion of these small fat globules is done by the intestinal juices, which convert fats into fatty acids and glycerol.


Question 52.


Saliva in the mouth converts ________ into _________ .


  1.     proteins, amino acids
  2.     glycogen, glucose
  3.     starch, maltose
  4.     fats, vitamins
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> starch, maltose
:
C

Saliva contains the enzyme salivary amylase. It breaks down starch into simpler molecules such as maltose. Starch is a polysaccharide made up of many units of glucose. Maltose, on the other hand is a disaccharide produced when starch is broken down by amylase.


Question 53.


What could be the possible explanation for the evolution of four-chambered heart in mammals as opposed to two-chambered heart in fishes?


  1.     Fishes do not require energy to maintain their body temperature.
  2.     Fishes have efficient gills.
  3.     Mammals have more complex structure than fishes.
  4.     Fishes can store more energy than mammals.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Fishes do not require energy to maintain their body temperature.
:
A and C

In fishes and reptiles, the heart is two-chambered and there is mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. They are cold blooded (the body temperature varies according to the surrounding temperature), so energy is required only for locomotion and hence less amount of oxygen is sufficient in them. Birds and mammals are warm blooded, so more energy is required to keep up the body temperature. To maintain high energy requirements of the body, more oxygen supply is required. Therefore, the heart has four chambers and oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood is kept strictly separated. Also, complexities in the body structure and different mechanisms have increased with evolution. Therefore the mechanism of circulation has also evolved.


Question 54.


Where does digestion of proteins take place?


  1.     Stomach only
  2.     Stomach and small intestines
  3.     Stomach and large intestines
  4.     Large intestines only
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Stomach and small intestines
:
B
The digestion of proteins starts in the stomach by the action of gastric juices produced by the walls of the stomach. Further, it also takes place in the duodenum and ileum of the small intestine under the action of pancreatic and intestinal juices respectively.
Question 55.


An instrument that measures blood pressure is known as _______ .


  1.     anemometre
  2.     stethoscope
  3.     thermometre
  4.     sphygmomanometre
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> sphygmomanometre
:
D
An Instrument That Measures Blood Pressure Is Known As _____...
The force that blood exerts against the wall of a blood vessel is known as blood pressure. Blood pressure is measured with an instrument called sphygmomanometre. It consists of an inflatable rubber cuff, which is wrapped around the upper arm and is connected to an apparatus that records blood pressure.
Question 56.


Statement 1: Lungs become empty after forceful expiration
Statement 2: The forcefully exhaled air is called residual volume of air.


  1.     Only statement 1 is true
  2.     Only statement 2 is true
  3.     Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true
  4.     Both statement 1 and statement 2 are false
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Both statement 1 and statement 2 are false
:
D
Lungs always contain a residual volume of air so that there is sufficient time for oxygen to be absorbed and for the carbon dioxide to be released. Some volume of air is present in the lungs even after forceful expiration.
