Explanation:

Endosulfan is a water insoluble chemical that seeps inside the soil and gets mixed with around water. Due to this around water gets polluted.

Find the odd out and state category of rest ;

  1. Thymine, Cytosine, Adenine, Pepsin

  2. Cortisone , Somatotropin, Adrenocorticotropic hormone, Vasopressin

  3. Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Thalamus, Hypothalamus

  4. Urea, Creatinine, Ammonia, Uric acid

  5. Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Lymphocytes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

(A)Pepsin is not a nitrogenous base.

(B)Cortisone, Somatotropin, Adrenocorticotropic, Vasopressin are all hormones.
(C)Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Thalamus, Hypothalamus are all parts of the brain.
(D)Urea, Creatinine, Ammonium, Uric acid are all nitrogen-based products.
(E)Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Lymphocytes are all compounds of blood cells.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Thymine, Cytosine, Adenine, Pepsin.'

The undigested, semisolid food is called 

  1. Anus

  2. Faeces

  3. Rectum

  4. Villi


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • The human digestive system consists of a long muscular tube and several accessory organs such as the salivary glands, pancreas and gall bladder.
  •  It is responsible for food ingestion and digestion, absorption of digestion products and the elimination of undigested materials. 
  • Undigested semi-solid food remaining in the large intestine is called faeces which are eliminated through the anus.
Hence, The undigested, semisolid food is called faeces.
So, the correct answer is 'faeces'.

The longest part of the alimentary canal is 

  1. Oesophagus

  2. Large intestine

  3. Small intestine

  4. Stomach


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

  • The alimentary canal includes the mouth, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.
  • The longest part of the alimentary canal is small intestine because it is the main organ of absorption and digestion of food. 
  • The surface area of the small intestine gets increased because of the presence of villi which gives food plenty of time to break down properly. Hence, the longest part of the alimentary canal is a small intestine.  
So, the correct answer is 'Small intestine'.

Stomach secretes

  1. Dilute hydrochloric acid

  2. Dilute sulphuric acid

  3. Dilute citric acid

  4. Dilute nitric acid


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Parietal cells in the stomach contain an extensive secretory network from which the dilute hydrochloric acid is secreted into the lumen of the stomach.
  •  This dilute Hydrochloric acid activates pepsinogen into the enzyme pepsin, which then helps digestion by breaking the bonds linking amino acids, a process known as proteolysis. Hence, Stomach secretes Dilute hydrochloric acid'
So, the correct answer is 'Dilute hydrochloric acid'.

Bile is secreted by 

  1. Stomach

  2. Small intestine

  3. Pancreas

  4. Liver


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

  • Bile  is a dark green to yellowish brown fluid, produced by the liver of most vertebrates, that helps in the digestion of lipids in the small intestine.
  •  In humans, bile is produced continuously by the liver, and stored and concentrated in the gallbladder. Hence, Bile is secreted by the liver.
So, the correct answer is 'liver'.

The inner layer of the stomach releases

  1. Water

  2. Blood

  3. Minerals

  4. Digestive juices


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

  • The stomach is made of  4 layers. They are serosa, muscularis, submucosa, mucosa. These layers of smooth muscle consist of the outer longitudinal, the middle circular, and the inner oblique muscles.
  • The innermost layer or lining (mucosa) contains the glands that release digestive juices which includes pepsin, chymotrypsin, hydrochloric acid etc. Hence, The inner layer of the stomach releases digestive juices.
So, the correct answer is 'digestive juices'.

Brunner's glands are present in submucosa of.

  1. Stomach

  2. Caecum

  3. Intestine

  4. Oesophagus


Correct Option: C

The stomach takes part in

  1. Breaking food mechanically

  2. Partially digesting the food

  3. Disinfecting the food

  4. All the above


Correct Option: D

Ecological pyramids are of

  1. Two types

  2. Three types

  3. Four types

  4. Five types


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A pyramid-shaped diagram represents quantity wise numbers of organisms, energy relationships, and biomass of an ecosystem; In lower trophic levels number of organisms are high(plants) and at the highest trophic level, lesser number as some energy is lost as heat, in each transformation. This relationship is sometimes called an ecological pyramid.  The ecological pyramids represent the trophic structure and also trophic function of the ecosystem. In many ecological pyramids, the producer form the base and the successive trophic levels make up the apex. The ecological pyramids may be of following three kinds-

Pyramid of Number- It is the arrangement of trophic level on the basis of the number of organism present at each stage.
Pyramid of Biomass-  It is the arrangement of trophic level on the basis of biomass present at each trophic levels.
Pyramid of Energy- It is the arrangement of trophic level on the basis of energy flow between them.
