  1. Bamboo

  2. Oysters

  3. Pelagic fishes

  4. Birds

  5. Mammals


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A few plants exhibits unusual flowering phenomenon. Bamboo species is one of them, which produces flower once in their life time, generally after 50-100 years. They produce large number of fruits and die

  1. political area

  2. geographical area

  3. demographic area

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: B

Habitat is associated with the geographical area one lives in.

Which one of the following constitutes the two best reasons for .distinguishing the living from the non-living?

  1. Reproduction and locomotion

  2. Respiration and excertion

  3. Growth and locomotion

  4. Irritability and locomotion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Respiration and excretion are two exclusive properties of living being ,whereas locomotion can be seen in non living organism owing to certain factors liike wind, water etc. So, the correct option is B. ( Respiration and excertion )

Metabolism is 
A) Total of all the chemical reactions accuring in the body of organisms
B) Observed even outside the body in a test tube
C) Not observed in non-living objects

  1. A only

  2. C only

  3. AC only

  4. ABC


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A sequence of biochemical reactions occur in the living organisms is called Metabolism. it is the life-sustaining process occurs in the living organism and always takes place in the living organism. Metabolism can be demonstrated out side the living body. They do not occur in the non living body.

So, the correct option is 'ABC'.

Match:

List-I List-II
A. Deforestation 1. Vacuoles
B. Cellular structure 2. Maize
C. Cross pollination 3. Soil erosion
D. Nitrogen fixation 4. Legumes
  1. A - 4, B - 1, C - 2, D - 3

  2. A - 1, B - 2, C - 4, D - 3

  3. A - 3, B - 1, C - 2, D - 4

  4. A - 2, B - 3, C - 4, D - 1


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

  • The loss of trees, which anchor the soil with their roots, causes widespread erosion throughout the tropics.
  • Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination.
  • Maize is a wind-pollinating crop and is able to cross-pollinate in neighboring fields.
  • In legumes and a few other plants, the bacteria live in small growths on the roots called nodules. Within these nodules, nitrogen fixation is done by the bacteria, and the NH3 they produce is absorbed by the plant. Nitrogen fixation by legumes is a partnership between a bacterium and a plant.

So, the correct answer is 'A - 3, B - 1, C - 2, D - 4'.

The resinous substance, shellac is obtained from

  1. An insect

  2. The bark of a tree

  3. Crude oil

  4. Distillation of wood


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Shellac is a resin secreted by the female lac bug, on trees in the forests of India and Thailand. It is processed and sold as dry flakes (pictured) and dissolved in alcohol to make liquid shellac, which is used as a brush-on colorant, food glaze, and wood finish.

So, the correct answer is 'An insect'.

Organisms using protonephridia for excretion are...

  1. flatworms rotifers ,earthworm

  2. amphioxus,cockroach, prawn

  3. planaria ,cephalochordates ,rotifers

  4. rotifers cephalordates ,Annelids


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A flame cell is a specialized excretory cell found in the simplest freshwater invertebrates, including flatworms(except the turbellarian order Acoela), rotifers and nemerteans; these are the simplest animals to have a dedicated excretory system. Bundles of flame cells are called protonephridia. So the correct option is 'Flatworm rotifers, earthworm’.

Professor Birbal Sahani discovered 100 million years old fossil plant from fossil forest at Rajmahal Hills, Bihar. This plant was

  1. Rhynia

  2. Horneophyton

  3. Williamsonia

  4. Red alga


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In 1932 Palaeontologica Indica, Birbal Sahni added an account of the Bennettitalean plant that he named Williamsonia sewardi.

So, the correct answer is 'Williamsonia'.

Cellular organization has ______ stages

  1. $3$

  2. $5$

  3. $2$

  4. $4$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The components of the cell and the arrangement of the individual parts within the cell form the cellular organisation.

  4. Interaction with environment and progressive evolution


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Reproduction can or cannot be criteria because the childless couple is there who are living. evolution need not always be progressive. Growth is also shown in a deposition if materials and movement are exhibited by nonliving things.
So, the correct option is 'Responsiveness to touch'.
