7. Ruminant animal among the following is?
a. Elephant
b. Cow
c. Horse
d. Pig

Answer: B
Ruminant animals are herbivores with a complex stomach called a rumen. Some examples of ruminant animals are cattle, sheep, goats, buffalo, deer, elk, giraffes and camels. One of the most significant features of the ruminant digestive system is the presence of a complex stomach with four compartments. They are rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. The first three compartments, the rumen, reticulum, and omasum break down plant fibers by fermentation with the help of microflora. This fermentation results in volatile fatty acids such as acetate, butyrate, and propionate. Hence, this process is called the foregut fermentation. The forth compartment secretes digestive enzymes.

Non-ruminant animals are omnivores or carnivores with a single stomach compartment within the digestive system. Hence, the digestive system of the non-ruminant animals is called monogastirc. Some examples of non-ruminant animals are human, horse, swine, fowl, dog, and rabbit. The components of the non-ruminant digestive system are mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum.

Examples:
Some ruminant animals include cattle, sheep, goats, buffalo, deer, elk, giraffes and camels while non-ruminant animals include human, horse, swine, fowl, dog, and rabbit.

26. Lenz's law is a consequence of law of conservation of
A. Energy only
B. Charge only
C. Momentum only
D. Energy and momentum

Answer: A
Lenz's law is based upon the law of conservation of energy. Lenz law states that the induced current always tends to oppose the cause which produce it. So in order to do work against opposing force we have to put extra effort. This extra work leads to periodic change in magnetic flux hence more current is induced. Thus the extra effort is just transformed into electrical energy which is law of conservation of energy.


27. If the momentum of a body is doubled, the kinetic energy :
A. is halved

67. Paramecium reproduces by
A. Transverse Binary fission
B. Radial fission
C. Elongated fission
D. Longitudinal fission

Answer: A
Paramecium, like other ciliates, usually reproduces by splitting in two, forming two virtually identical individuals from one organism. Most ciliates divide transversely, splitting in two by pinching off in the middle of the long axis of the organism, as can be seen in the photo. The macronucleus does not divide by mitosis, rather it elongates and then splits in two, roughly one half going to the each of the new daughter cells. This type of reproduction involves no exchange of genetic material and is a type of asexual reproduction. This form of asexual reproduction is often called as fission.

A. When the margins of the sepals or petals overlap one another without any particular direction, it is called imbricate. Example Cassis.
B. When the margins of the sepals or petals overlap one another regularly in the particular direction, it is called twisted, example, China Rose.
C. When the margins of the sepals or petals do not overlap one another, it is called valvate, example Calotropis.
D. When the petals are of different sizes and show descending imbricate pattern, it is called vexillary, example, pea.

70. Histogen theory states that epidermis is derived from the
A. Periblem
B. Cambium
C. Cortex
D. Dermatogen

Answer: D
According to histogen theory by Hanstein, the three principal tissues of the root, vascular cylinder, cortex and epidermis originate from three groups of initial cells or histogens, in the apical meristem plerome, periblem and dermatogen respectively.

71. The metaxylem in angiospermic wood is
a. Centripetal
b. Centrifugal
c. Both of them
d. None of them

Answer: B
When the xylem develops from the outside inwards towards the center, i.e., centripetally, it is called as exarch. When xylem develops from the inside outwards towards the periphery, i.e., centrifugally, it is called as endarch.

Exarch is used when there is more than one strand of primary xylem in a stem or root, and the xylem develops from the outside inwards towards the centre, i.e., centripetally. The metaxylem is thus, closest to the center of the stem or root and the protoxylem closest to the periphery. The roots of vascular plants are normally considered to have exarch development. Endarch is used when there is more than one strand of primary xylem in a stem or root, and the xylem develops from the inside outwards towards the periphery, i.e., centrifugally. Mesarch is used when there is more than one strand of primary xylem in a stem or root, and the xylem develops from the middle of a strand in both directions.
