Milk is

  1. Deficient in some of the essential amino acids

  2. Deficient in some of the essential fatty acids

  3. Contains all the essential fatty acids but in low quantity

  4. Full of all the food ingredients
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Milk is an emulsion. Human milk contains maximum amount of lactose (milk sugar). It contains all the amino acids in proper amount. It contains all the essential fatty acids but in low quality. Linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic acid are the essential fatty acids. Only few animals have the mechanism to synthesise these fatty acids.

How many litres of water should be added to $45$ litres of $90\%$ concentrated milk to reduce the concentration to $75\%$?

  1. $8$ litres
  2. $9$ litres
  3. $10$ litres
  4. $12$ litres
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Total milk by volume=90% of 45=40.5 litre of milk.

In the diluted case, let the total volume be 'x' litre. So, 75% of x=40.5 l.
So, x=54 litre, thus volume of added water = (54-45)l= 9 litre.

So the correct option is '9 litres'.

The milk of which one of these animals has more fat content?

  1. Cow

  2. Buffalo

  3. Sheep

  4. Goat
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Buffalo milk is white, a non-transparent liquid produced by the mammary animal. It is a healthy and nutritious daily drink and can be consumed by people of all ages. It has a very high content of fats. It is rich in a variety of minerals and vitamins and therefore buffalo milk has nutritional value. 100 grams of buffalo milk has 97 calories. However, calories from fat are only 8 grams. Whereas cow milk contains  3.9 gram, sheep contains 7 grams and goat milk contains 3.5 grams. Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Lungs made up of which structures 

  1. Branching network of Bronchi

  2. Bronchioles

  3. Alveoli

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Lungs are the main respiratory organs of the human respiratory system. The windpipe or trachea divides into two branches called bronchi, entering into each lung. Each bronchus in the lung further divides to form many bronchioles. These bronchioles end up in a sac-like structure called the alveoli.  Hence, the lungs are made up of bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli.

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

The lungs are protected by two membranes called ________

  1. Pleural membrane

  2. Meninges

  3. Mucous membrane

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

The lungs are protected by two membranes called the pleural membranes. The outer pleural membrane is called the pleura and the inner one is called the visceral or pulmonary layer. There is a space between the two layers called the intrapleural space. It is filled with fluid to keep the lungs protected from the shocks and injuries.

A. Pleural membranes are present around the lungs.
B. Meninges are present around the brain and spinal cord.
C. Mucous membranes are present around he visceral organs.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Pleural Membrane'.

Read the following statements (A to D)
(A) Rib is a flat bone connected vertebral column and dorsally to the sternum.
(B) First seven pairs of ribs are called true ribs.
(C) 8$^{th}$ ,9$^{th}$ and 10$^{th}$  pairs of the ribs are called vertebro sternal ribs.
(D) 10$^{th}$ and 11$^{th}$ pairs of ribs are not connected dorsally and are therefore called floating ribs.
How many statements are correct?

  1. One

  2. Two

  3. Three

  4. None
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A. Ribs are attached to sternum with their anterior ends.

B. First seven pair of ribs are called true ribs because their anterior are directly attached to the sternum.
C. The 8th, 9th and 10th pair of ribs are called false ribs.
D. 11tth and 12th pair of ribs are called floating ribs because their anterior ends are not attached to the sternum.
Hence only statement B is correct.
So, the correct answer is 'One'.

What do the trachea and bronchi possess in their wall  of the respiratory tract in man?

  1. C-shaped cartilagenous rings

  2. C-shaped bony rings

  3. V-shaped bony rings

  4. V-shaped cartilagenous rings
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The trachea, primary, secondary and tertiary bronchi, and initial bronchioles are supported by incomplete cartilaginous rings. 


So, the correct answer is 'C-shaped cartilaginous rings'

The mucus produced by the goblet cells 
(I) Moistens the incoming air
(II) Traps the finest dust particles
(III) Filter out largest dust particles
(IV) Warm the incoming air

  1. I and II

  2. II and III

  3. Only IV

  4. All of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A column-shaped cell found in the respiratory and intestinal tracts, which secretes the main component of mucus. The mucus produced by the goblet cells traps the finest dust particles and filter out largest dust particles.

So, the correct option is 'II and III'.

The alveoli contain specialized cells that secrete a phospholipoprotein complex known as pulmonary surfactant. The function of pulmonary surfactant is ________________________.

  1. to provide some rigidity to the alveoli to prevent lung collapse

  2. to decrease the surface tension of the alveoli, making it easier to expand them
  3. to facilitate the diffusion of $O _2$ and $CO _2$ by providing protein channels through which these gases flow

  4. to provide a sticky surface upon which dust and microbes are trapped and disposed of
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Alveoli is the region in the lungs where exchange of gases takes place.According to histology of alveolar wall ,it contain 2types of cell

 I.e. 1-Type-1 cell 
            2.Type -2 cell which secret  DPPP(DIPAMITOYL PHOSPHATIDOYL CHOLINE OR LECITHINE) which acts as a surfactant and help in preventing collapsing of lungs.
