  1. Heavy meromyosin

  2. Light meromycin

  3. Both a and b

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A

Which of the.following statements are correct regarding muscle proteins ?
 (i) Actin is a thin filament and is Frock up of two F-actirs.
(ii) The complex protein, tropomyosin is distributed at regular intervals on the troponin. 
(iii)  Myosin is a thick flament which is also a polymerised protein. 
(iv) The globular head of meromyosin consists of light merornyosin (LMM).

biology locomotion and movements structure of muscle skeletal muscles coordination

  1. (i), (ii) and (iii)

  2. (i), (ii) and (iv)

  3. (i) and (iii)

  4. (ii) and (iv)

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Actin is the thin filament in the sarcomere, comprising F-actin, tropomyosin and troponin protein, troponin is attached to tropomyosin, while myosin is a thick filament.

So, the correct option is '(i), (ii) and (iii)'.

Which of the following is called as the response?

biology neural control and coordination structure of muscle skeletal muscles locomotion and movements

  1. Drawing out the hand

  2. Pricking with the pin

  3. Pin in the box

  4. Hand in the pocket

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A stimulus is something that causes a physiological response. The ability of an organism or organ to respond to external stimuli is called sensitivity. So, in the above example, the response to stimulus is drawing out hand and not pricking with pin, only pin or hand.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

When you are pricked with a pin, you will draw out your hand very fast. The stimulus is 

biology neural control and coordination structure of muscle skeletal muscles locomotion and movements

  1. Drawing out hand

  2. Pricking with a pin

  3. Pin

  4. Hand

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A stimulus is something that causes a physiological response. The ability of an organism or organ to respond to external stimuli is called sensitivity. So, in the above example, the stimulus is pricking with pin and not drawing out hand, only pin or hand. 

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Internal stimulus comes from

biology neural control and coordination structure of muscle skeletal muscles locomotion and movements

  1. Inside an organism

  2. Outside an organism

  3. Skin

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  • In physiology, a stimulus is a detectable change in the internal or external environment. The ability of an organism or organ to respond to external stimuli is called sensitivity. 
  • When a stimulus is applied to a sensory receptor, it normally elicits or influences a reflex. Hence, Internal stimulus comes from
Inside an organism.
 So, the correct answer is 'Inside an organism'.

Behaviour that involves an external stimulus triggering a genetically determined response is called as

biology neural control and coordination structure of muscle skeletal muscles locomotion and movements

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The fixed action patterns to specific stimuli which activate nervous system making the muscular action without any involvement of brain in decision making are known as innate behaviours. Being genetically determined, these responses are nearly alike in all members of a population. 

Learning (learned behaviour) is a modification of innate behaviour as a result of specific experiences and involves the formation of memories by changes in neural connectivity.
A form of learning that occurs during a brief genetically determined critical period shortly after birth is called as imprinting. 
Conditioned is also a learned response in which stimulus becomes associated with a consequence. 
Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Hunger is

biology neural control and coordination structure of muscle skeletal muscles locomotion and movements

  1. External stimuli

  2. Internal stimuli

  3. Response

  4. Both A and B

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • The stimulus(singular) is any change in the organism's internal or external environment that causes the organism to react. It is of two types external and internal.
  • External stimulus is the stimulus that comes outside of the organism. For example, Light stimulus, heat stimulus, chemical stimulus, etc.
  • The internal stimulus is the stimulus that comes from inside an organism. For example, Hunger, thirst, etc.
  • Hence Hunger is Internal stimuli.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Internal stimuli'.

Which of the following is called as stimulus?

biology neural control and coordination structure of muscle skeletal muscles locomotion and movements

  1. Light

  2. Temperature

  3. Sound

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • The stimulus(singular) is any change in the organism's internal or external environment that causes the organism to react. It is of two types external and internal.
  • External stimulus is the stimulus that comes outside of the organism. For example, Light stimulus, heat stimulus, chemical stimulus, sound stimulus, etc.
  • The internal stimulus is the stimulus that comes from inside an organism. For example, Hunger, thirst, etc.
  • So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.

A stimulus for the olfactory receptor is 

biology neural control and coordination structure of muscle skeletal muscles locomotion and movements

  1. Taste

  2. Smell

  3. Touch

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • The olfactory receptor neurons are located in a small region within the superior nasal cavity. This region is referred to as the olfactory epithelium.
  • When the airborne molecules are inhaled through the nose, they pass over the olfactory epithelial region and the olfactory receptors are stimulated and in turn, the smell is perceived.
  • Hence A stimulus for the olfactory receptor is smell.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Smell'.
