Case Based Questions: (53-56)
The organs of our excretory system help in releasing waste from our body. If these wastes are not removed, we may fall sick. Hence, wastes built up from cell activities and digestion need to be removed. The excretory system of humans consists of a pair of kidneys, pair of ureter, a urinary bladder and urethra.
Kidneys are located in abdomen, one on other side of the backbone. Urine produced in kidneys passes through the ureter into the urinary bladder where it gets stored for sometime and then is released through urethra.
Each kidney is made up of one million nephrons and each nephron consists of a cup-shaped upper end called Bowman’s capsule containing a bunch of capillaries called glomerulus.
The Bowman’s capsule leads to proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and distal convoluted tubule which joins the collecting duct.
Question 53. Which among the following is the least toxic form of excretory product?
(a) Urea (b) Uric acid
(c) Ammonia (d) CO2
Answer : B
Question 54. An outline of principal events of urination is given below in a random manner.
I. Stretch receptors on the wall of the urinary bladder send signals to CNS.
II. Bladder fills with urine and become distended.
III. Micturition.
IV. CNS passes on motor messages to initiate contraction of smooth muscle of bladder and simultaneous relaxation of urethral sphincter.
The correct sequence of events is
(a) I →II → III →IV
(b) IV → III → II →I
(c) II → I → IV → III
(d) III → II → I → IV
Answer : C
Question 55. A person with no/less food and beverage intake, will have .......... in urine.
(a) little glucose (b) less urea
(c) excess urea (d) little fat
Answer : B
Question 56. Glomerular filtrate is first collected by
(a) distal convoluted tubule
(b) proximal convoluted tubule
(c) Bowman’s capsule
(d) Loop of Henle
Answer : C
Case Based Questions: (57-60)
The hotter air is lighter (less dense) than the cooler air above it and has a refractive index slightly less than that of the cooler air. Since the physical condition of the refracting medium (air) are not stationary, therefore, the light goes from rarer medium to denser medium in atmosphere. This phenomenon is called atmospheric refraction.
The twinkling of stars and advanced sunrise and delayed sunset are common examples of atmospheric refraction.
Question 57. Stars appear to twinkle because of
(a) movement of air
(b) atmospheric refraction
(c) both (a) and (b)
(d) none of these
Answer : B
Question 58. Which of the following is not caused because of atmospheric refraction?
(a) Apparent image of Sun is formed closer to the Earth.
(b) Dawn or dusk are formed
(c) Sun can be seen 2 minutes before actual sunrise and 2 minutes after actual sunset.
(d) Clouds look white
Answer : D
Question 59. During sunset or sunrise the Sun appears reddish because
(a) due to longer passage in atmosphere, even red light in the sunlight scatters
(b) Sun produces red light at this time
(c) at this time Sun is not very hot
(d) none of these
Answer : A
Question 60. When sunlight enters the atmosphere the colours which scatter first are
(a) only red
(b) red, orange and yellow
(c) blue and green
(d) violet, indigo and blue
Answer : D
