Questions Related to zoology

Cell body is known as

zoology structural organization in living organisms specialized cells in animals tissues and types of tissues levels of organisation in animals

  1. Axon

  2. Cyton

  3. Neuron

  4. None of he above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Neurons are made up of three parts: cell body, dendrites, and axon. The cell body is also known as cyton consists of nucleus and cytoplasm. Dendrites are short branches arising from cell body whereas axon is a long cylindrical projection of uniform thickness.
So, the correct answer is 'Cyton'.

The voluntary muscles are known as

zoology structural organization in living organisms specialized cells in animals tissues and types of tissues levels of organisation in animals

  1. Striated muscles

  2. Cardiac muscles

  3. Unstriated muscles

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Striated muscles or skeletal muscles are the most abundant type of muscle fibers found attached to the bones. They are multinucleated and voluntary in nature. They help in the movement of different parts of the body.
So, the correct answer is 'Striated muscles'.

Which of the following characteristics can be related to cardiac muscles?

zoology structural organization in living organisms specialized cells in animals tissues and types of tissues levels of organisation in animals

  1. They are striated.

  2. They are involuntary muscles.

  3. They are less prone to fatigue.

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
The cardiac muscles are present on the wall of the heart. These muscles are striated muscles but involuntary in nature. They are under the control of the autonomic nervous system. Due to the presence of large number of mitochondria, they have the continuous supply of oxygen and hence these muscles are less prone to fatigue.
So the correct answer is 'All of the above'.

The squamous epithelium is mainly involved in

  1. Protection

  2. Absorption

  3. Secretion

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Squamous epithelium is a type of epithelium tissue. The cells of this tissue are thin, flat and closely packed. These are found in cavities of mouth, oesophagus, alveoli and blood vessels. This tissue gives protection against mechanical injury and also blocks the entry of pathogens or germs. 

So, the correct option is 'Protection'.

Which of the following levels of structure encompasses all the other?

zoology structural organization in living organisms specialized cells in animals tissues and types of tissues levels of organisation in animals

  1. Tissue

  2. Cell

  3. Organism

  4. Organ or organ system

Show answer
Correct Option: A

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Which one of the following is not a characteristic of animals?

zoology structural organization in living organisms specialized cells in animals tissues and types of tissues levels of organisation in animals

  1. Heterotrophic

  2. Diplontic life cycle

  3. Have contracting fibres

  4. Single cells or colonial

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All animals are eukaryotic, multicellular organisms, and most animals have complex tissue structure with differentiated and specialized tissue. Animals are heterotrophs; they must consume living or dead organisms since they cannot synthesize their own food and can be carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, or parasites.

So, the correct option is 'Single cells or colonial'.

The bundle of axon is known as

zoology structural organization in living organisms specialized cells in animals tissues and types of tissues levels of organisation in animals

  1. Nerve

  2. Cyton

  3. Axon

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Axon is a part of nerve cells or neurons. The bundle of the axon is called a nerve in the peripheral nervous system while it is called a tract in the central nervous system. 
So, the correct answer is 'Nerve'
