If your diet does not contain enough roughage, then you are likely to suffer from 

  1. Indigestion.

  2. Constipation.

  3. Diarrhea.

  4. Typhoid.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Roughage or dietary fiber as it is known is the indigestible portion of the carbohydrate in the food derived from plants. These are of two types - the soluble fiber and and the insoluble one. The insoluble fiber is metabolically inert and being prebiotic and ferment in the large intestine. These bulking fibers tends to absorb water as they move through the digestive system which helps in easy defecation. Hence, consuming a diet without roughage will lead to constipation.

All of the following symptoms are found in jaundice except

  1. Disorders of hepato-billary system

  2. Abnormal secretion of pancreatic and gastric juices

  3. Bile duct obstruction

  4. Anaemia
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Jaundice is caused due to the high levels of bilirubin in the blood. High bilirubin levels could be due to obstruction in bile duct which would interrupt the drainage of bile containing the bilirubin or the chronic liver disease (hepato-biliary) which decrease the ability of  the liver to metabolize and excrete the bilirubin. Anemia leads to increased excretion of bilirubin in the blood and subsequent decrease in the number of RBC's. Abnormal secretion of pancreatic and gastric juices has nothing to do with bilirubin levels thus are not the symptoms found in jaundice patients.

An example of negative feed back loop in humans is 

  1. Salivation of mouth at the sight of delicious food.

  2. Constriction of skin blood vessels and contraction of skeletal muscles in cold.

  3. Secretion of tears on dust particles falling in eyes.

  4. Secretion of sweat glands and constriction of skin blood vessels when it is too hot.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
  • Negative feedback is a reaction that causes a decrease in function. It occurs in response to some kind of stimulus. Often it causes the output of a system to be lessened; so, the feedback tends to stabilize the system. This can be referred to as homeostasis. For example, constriction of skin blood vessels and contraction of skeletal muscles in cold.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Constriction of skin blood vessels and contraction of skeletal muscles in cold'.
