Multiple choice hunger and dehydration from tasting to digestion digestion of food digestion evs

Amount of water present inside human body cells is about

  1. 15 litres

  2. 5 litres

  3. 25 litres

  4. 10 litres
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
  • About 60% of human body weight is due to water and is mainly present within the cells of the body.
  • Intracellular fluid (within the cell) constitutes about 2/3 of body water.
  • Eg- In a person weighing 72 kg, 40 litres of fluid is present in the body out of which about 25 litres of water is present in the intracellular region (within the cells).
  • So, the correct answer is '25 litres'.

A person is given a ............. when he has loose motion and vomiting.

  1. Salt solution

  2. Glucose solution

  3. ORS

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Vomiting and lose motion causes dehydration. Hence, the intake of fluids to maintain the electrolytes is balanced. Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is a type of fluid replacement used to prevent and treat dehydration, especially due to diarrhoea. It involves drinking water with modest amounts of sugar and salts, specifically sodium and potassium.

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.

In extremely serious situations, fluids should be given

  1. Orally

  2. Intradermally

  3. Intravenously

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Children and adults who are severely dehydrated should be treated by emergency personnel arriving in an ambulance or in a hospital emergency room, where they can receive salts and fluids through a vein (intravenously) rather than by mouth. Intravenous hydration provides the body with water and essential nutrients much more quickly than oral solutions, do something that's essential in life-threatening situations.

The energy and biomass relationship between the organisms at different trophic levels can better expressed by.

  1. Food chain

  2. Food web

  3. Ecological pyramids

  4. Energy cycle
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
An ecological pyramid (also trophic pyramid, eltonian pyramid, energy pyramid, or sometimes food pyramid) is a graphical representation designed to show the biomass or bio productivity at each trophic level in a given ecosystem. Biomass pyramids show how much biomass (the amount of living or organic matter present in an organism) is present in the organisms at each trophic level, while productivity pyramids show the procreation or turnover in biomass. There is also pyramid of numbers which represent the number of organisms in each trophic level. They may be upright (e.g. Grassland ecosystem), inverted (parasitic ecosystem) or dumbbell shaped (forest ecosystem). Energy pyramids begin with producers on the bottom (such as plants) and proceed through the various trophic levels (such as herbivores that eat plants, then carnivores that eat flesh, then omnivores that eat both plants and flesh, and so on). The highest level is the top of the food chain.
So the correct option is 'ecological pyramid'.

Pyramid of bio mass and number in a pond ecosystem ake-

  1. inverted and upright

  2. inverted and irregular

  3. both upright

  4. both unverted
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

It is the graphical representation which shows the biomass or bio productivity in an eco system at each tropical level.

Therefore the right answer is option "A, inverted and upright".

A Correct answer
Explanation

A (elton) is the correct answer.

Elton proposed the concept of ecological pyramids Ecological pyramid is a graphical representation that shows the biomass at each trophic level. Odum is the father of modern ecology. Clements proposed the theory of plant succession. darwin proposed the theory of biological evolution by natural selection.

When peacock eats snakes which eats insects thriving on green plants, the peacock is

  1. A primary consumer

  2. A primary decomposer

  3. Final decomposer

  4. The apex of food pyramid
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

In the given food chain peacock is the ultimate consumer. It will be located at the apex of the food pyramid. 

Green plants will be producers. 
Insects feeding on green plants will be herbivores or primary consumers. Snakes will be primary carnivores or secondary consumers and peacock will be a secondary carnivore or a tertiary consumer. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
