Questions Related to bones and movements

Animals can be distinguished in to chordates and non chordates depending on presence and absence of _________.

biology movement and locomotion in man locomotion in animals bones and movements muscle contraction

  1. Three germ layers

  2. Mesoderm

  3. Notochord

  4. Both B and C

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The animals having notochord further develop a skeleton as in vertebrates. Animals without notochord have no skeleton as in invertebrates.

An example of chitinous exoskeleton is

biology movement and locomotion in man locomotion in animals bones and movements muscle contraction

  1. Oriole

  2. Sea stars

  3. Clam

  4. Honeybee

  5. Earthworm

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

  • A tough, semitransparent substance that is the main component of the exoskeletons of arthropods, such as the shells of crustaceans and the outer coverings of insects(honey bee). 
  • Chitin is also found in the cell walls of certain fungi and algae. Chemically, it is a nitrogenous polysaccharide (a carbohydrate). Hence, An example of a chitinous exoskeleton is Honeybee.
So, the correct answer is 'Honeybee'.

Endoskeleton of cell is

  1. Cell wall

  2. Endoplasmic reticulum

  3. Cytoplasm

  4. Mitochondria.

Show answer
Correct Option: B

Cockroaches have an outer skeleton.

biology movement and locomotion in man locomotion in animals bones and movements muscle contraction

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
An exoskeleton is the external skeleton that supports and protects an animal's body. Examples of animals with exoskeletons include insects such as grasshoppers and cockroaches, and crustaceans such as crabs and lobsters.
Cockroaches are winged insects found in nearly every part of the world. Like most other insects, cockroaches have an exoskeleton, meaning their skeleton is located on the outside of their bodies. They have three simple body parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen.
Hence, the answer is true.

Which one of the cartilage helps in early birth of a child,
without damage to the pelvic girdle

biology movement and locomotion in man locomotion in animals bones and movements muscle contraction

  1. Hyaline cartilage

  2. Elastic cartilage

  3. Calcified cartilage

  4. Fibrous cartilage

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

During the birth of child pubic symphysis which is made up of fibrous cartilage relaxes inaeasing`the space for the exit of the child.

EDTA injected into muscles combines with $Ca^{2+}$ and

biology skeleton and movements locomotion in animals bones and movements muscle contraction

  1. Stops contraction

  2. Causes contraction

  3. Slows down contraction

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • Active sites for myosin are present on actin which are masked by troponin in resting state. When  Ca++ level increases it leads to the binding of calcium with a subunit of troponin on actin(thin) filaments and thereby remove the masking of active sites for myosin.
  • Utilizing the energy from ATP hydrolysis, the myosin head now binds to the exposed active sites on actin to form a cross bridge. 
  • This pulls the attached actin filaments towards the centre of ‘A’ band.
  •  The ‘Z’ line attached to these actins are also pulled inwards thereby causing a shortening of the sarcomere, i.e., contraction.
  • When EDTA  injected into muscles combines with Ca ++ and prevents the binding of calcium with troponin and slows down contraction.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Slows down contraction'.

Correct Option: B

The joint between the carpal bones and tarsal bones is

biology skeleton - movement and locomotion locomotion in animals bones and movements muscle contraction

  1. Gliding joint

  2. Ball and socket joint

  3. Hinge joint

  4. Saddle joint

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A gliding joint is the simplest of the synovial joints. Gliding joints are found between the carpal bones and between the tarsal bones.
