(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

Q.1. Assertion (A) : Plants lack excretory organs.


Reason (R) : Plants usually absorb essential nutrients.

Q.2. Assertion (A) : In anaerobic respiration, one of the end product is alcohol.
Reason (R) : There is an incomplete breakdown of glucose.

Q.3. Assertion (A) : In plants there is no need of specialised respiratory organs.


Reason (R) : Plants do not have great demands of gaseous exchange.

Q.4. Assertion (A) : Bile is essential for digestion of lipids.


Reason (R) : Bile juice contains enzymes.

Q.5. Assertion (A) : Carbohydrate digestion mainly takes place in small intestine.
Reason (R) : Pancreatic juice contains the enzyme lactase.
Q.6. Assertion (A) : Aerobic respiration requires less energy as compared to
anaerobic respiration.
Reason (R) : Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

Q.7. Assertion (A): Arteries are thick-walled and elastic in nature.


Reason (R) : Arteries have to transport blood away from the heart.

Q.8. Assertion (A) : Human heart is four-chambered.


Reason (R) : Vena cava is the only artery that supplies deoxygenated blood to the
heart.

Q.9. Assertion (A): Energy is required to carry out different life processes.
Reason (R) : Energy is obtained in the form of ATP in the mitochondria.

Q.10. Assertion (A): Rings of cartilage are present in the throat,


Reason (R) : These ensure that the air-passage does not collapse

Q.11. Assertion (A): Pyruvate is a six-carbon molecule


Reason (R) : It is prepared in the cytoplasm as the first step to cellular respiration

Q.12. Assertion (A): Molecular movements are needed for life.


Reason (R): Body structures made up of these molecules need continuous repair
and maintenance

Q.13. Assertion (A): Diffusion does not meet high energy requirements of multi-
cellular organisms
Reason (R) : Diffusion is a fast process but occurs at the surface of the body.

Q.14. Assertion (A): The opening and closing of the pore is a function of the guard
cells.
Reason (R) : Stomatal pores are the site for exchange of gases by diffusion.

Q.15. Assertion (A): The purpose of making urine is to filter out undigested food
from intestine
Reason (R): Kidneys filter the waste and produce urine,

Q.16. Assertion (A): The inner lining of the small intestine has numerous finger-like
projections called villi.
Reason (R) : The villi increase the surface area for absorption.

Q.17. Assertion (A): In human beings, the respiratory pigment is haemoglobin


Reason (R) : It is a type of protein which has high-affinity carbon dioxide.

Q.18. Assertion (A): The plants store some of the waste products in their body
parts.
Reason (R) : Raphides are the solid waste products of plants.

Q.19. Assertion (A): The movement of water and dissolved salts in xylem is always
upwards.
Reason (R) : ‘The upward movement of water is due to low pressure created by
transpiration.

Q.20. Assertion (A): Photosynthesis takes place in green parts of the plants.
Reason (R) : Photosynthesis always takes place in leaves.

Q.21. Assertion: The average number of heart beat of a person at rest is about 80
per minute.
Reason (R) : One contraction and relaxation of the heart constitutes a complete
heart beat.

Q.22. Assertion (A): Ureters are the tubes which carry urine from kidneys to the
bladder.
Reason (R) : Urine is stored in the urethra.

Q.23. Assertion (A): Ventricles have thicker walls than auricles.


Reason (R) : Ventricles have to pump blood into various organs with great
pressure

Q.24. Assertion (A): Capillaries are the thinnest blood vessels.


Reason (R) : Capillaries connect the branches of arteries and veins.

Q.25. Assertion (A): Blood takes up oxygen from the alveolar air and release CO2
during exchange.
Reason (R) : ‘The concentration of O, is more in alveolar air.

Q.26. Assertion: The large intestine is the largest part of the alimentary canal.
Reason (R) : Tiger has a shorter small intestine, than herbivores.

Q.27. Assertion (A): Most of the living organisms carry out aerobic respiration.
Reason (R) : Mitochondria is the site of aerobic respiration in the cell.

Q.28. Assertion (A): The Bowman’s capsule and the tubule together make a
nephron.
Reason (R) : The function of tubule is to allow the selective reabsorption of
substances like glucose, amino acids, urea, salts and water into the blood capillaries.

Q.29. Assertion (A): Pancreatic juice digests starch, proteins and fats.
Reason (R) : Pancreatic juice contains digestive enzymes like pancreatic amylase,
trypsin and lipase.
