Moist vapour theory was given by

zoology classification of living beings hierarchy of classification different types of classifications introduction to classification of living organisms

  1. Aristotle

  2. Pythagoras

  3. Delepatius

  4. Darwin

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • Moist vapour theory was proposed by a Greek philosopher Pythagoras.
  • According to this theory a certain moist vapour is transmitted from the male towards the female during the fertilization and it develops into an embryo.
  • From where the later new organism is developed.
  • Hence the correct option is B.

  1. Urea and amino acids

  2. Proteins and nucleic acids

  3. Proteins and amino acids

  4. Urea and nucleic acid

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • Proteins and nucleic acids are the two most basic compounds for the sustenance of life. 
  • Proteins provided a limiting membrane and boundary to primitive entities and nucleic acids were important information molecules, which were required to build self-replicating entities. Option B is correct

The first organisms were :

State whether the following statements are true or false.
Classification allows subsequent identification of a species

zoology classification of living beings hierarchy of classification different types of classifications introduction to classification of living organisms

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Classification helps orderly and hierarchical grouping of organisms into different taxa based on their similarities and differences and therefore helps in identification of species 

So, the correct answer is 'True'

During heavy exercise, we get cramps in the legs due to the accumulation of

zoology skeleton and movements features of a muscle muscle features muscle contraction and its effects

  1. Carbon dioxide

  2. Lactic acid

  3. Alcohol

  4. Water

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • During heavy exercise, the demand for energy is high but the supply of oxygen to produce energy is limited. Therefore, anaerobic respiration takes places in the muscles cells to fulfil the demand for energy. This anaerobic breakdown of glucose leads to the formation of lactic acid in muscles. The accumulation of lactic acid in muscles leads to muscle cramps.
  • HenceDuring heavy exercise, we get cramps in the legs due to the accumulation of Lactic acid.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Lactic acid'.

Glycogen is degraded to lactic acid by enzymes in muscles and liver when the animal is

zoology skeleton and movements features of a muscle muscle features muscle contraction and its effects

  1. Exhausted

  2. Starved

  3. Killed

  4. Defaecated

  5. Copulated

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Glucose is the major source of energy in the body. excess glucose is stored in the form of glycogen in muscles and liver.
  • Most of the glycogen is stored in liver i.e 10 % of the mass of liver and the muscles contain a low amount of glycogen i.e 1% of the muscle mass.
  • When the glucose is completely utilized the animal feels exhausted, to overcome this the glycogen is degraded to lactic acid by enzymes in muscles and liver. 
  • So, the correct answer is 'Exhausted'.

Muscles get fatigued due to accumulation of

zoology skeleton and movements features of a muscle muscle features muscle contraction and its effects

  1. Adenosine triphosphate

  2. $CO _2$

  3. Lactic acid

  4. Phosphate molecules

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • The Burning of glucose during respiration requires oxygen. When a Muscle is subjected to continuous exercise there will be low availability of oxygen. This leads to the anaerobic breakdown of glucose which results in the formation of lactic acid. 
  • This accumulation of lactic acid in the muscle causes muscle fatigue.
  • Hence Muscles get fatigued due to the accumulation of lactic acid.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Lactic acid'.

Rigor mortis in due to

zoology skeleton and movements features of a muscle muscle features muscle contraction and its effects

  1. Depletion of ATP

  2. Excess ATP

  3. Excess availability of calcium

  4. Release of magnesium

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Regor mortis is one of the recognizable signs of death, caused by the depletion of ATP followed by the chemical changes in muscles after death, causing the body to stiffen and locked in place, making it difficult to move and manipulate.
  • When the ATP is depleted muscles can not contract and the body becomes stiff.
  • It takes about 2 days for rigor mortis to fade, and once it does, decay sets in.
  • Hence rigor mortis is due to depletion of ATP.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Depletion of ATP'.

All or none law is not applicable for

zoology skeleton and movements features of a muscle muscle features muscle contraction and its effects

  1. Single skeletal muscle fibre

  2. Whole skeletal muscle

  3. Single smooth muscle fibre

  4. Whole cardiac muscle

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • The all-or-none law is the principle that the strength by which a nerve or muscle fibre responds to a stimulus is independent of the strength of the stimulus. If that stimulus exceeds the threshold potential, the nerve or muscle fibre will give a complete response; otherwise, there is no response.
  • Hence All or none law is not applicable for whole skeletal muscle.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Whole skeletal muscle'.
