MCQ 51 Mark
In a given food chain, suppose the amount of energy available at the third trophic level is 50 KJ. What will be the energy available at the producer level?
  • A
    5000 KJ
  • B
    50 KJ
  • C
    5 KJ
  • D
    500 KJ
Answer
5000 KJ
Explanation: According to 10% law, the energy available to each successive trophic level is 10% of the previous trophic level.
Given, the energy available at the third trophic level = 50 KJ The energy available at second trophic level = 50 KJ x 10 = 500 K.J
Therefore, the energy available at the producer level (first trophic level) = 500 KJ x 10 = 5000 KJ

MCQ 61 Mark
The pyramid shown here can be the pyramid of ………… .
Image
  • A
    Biomass in a forest
  • B
    Energy in a Grassland
  • C
    Number in a pond
  • D
    Biomass in a pond ecosystem
Answer
Biomass in a pond ecosystem
Explanation: The pyramid shown here is an inverted pyramid. Pyramid of energy can never be inverted. Number of producer (i.e., phytoplanktons) in a pond are always more than the consumers thus, pyramid of number in a pond cannot be inverted. In forest, biomass of producers (i.e., tree) is large, so pyramid of biomass in a forest is also upright. Pyramid of biomass for pond ecosystem is inverted as biomass of a trophic level depends on reproductive potential and longevity of its members.

MCQ 71 Mark
What is the minimum resistance which can be made using five resistors each of 1/5 Ω?
  • A
    $\frac{1}{25} \Omega$
  • B
    $25 \Omega$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{10} \Omega$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{5} \Omega$
Answer
$\frac{1}{25} \Omega$
Explanation: When resistors are connected in parallel, the supply current is equal to the sum of the currents through each resistor. Also, they have the same potential difference across them.
In other words, any components in parallel have the same potential difference across them. And, the total resistance will alway be lesser than the least resistance in the circuit.
The total resistance is calculated as $\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}$. That is, $R = R _T^{-1}$
In this case, the given resistance is $\frac{1}{5}$ ohms each. Therefore, the minimum resistance that can be obtained from the parallel connection of these five resistors is given as follows:
$\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{5}{1}+\frac{5}{1}+\frac{5}{1}+\frac{5}{1}+\frac{5}{1}=\frac{25}{1}$. Therefore, $R =\frac{1}{25}$
Hence, the minimum resistance which can be made using five resistors each of 1/5 ohms is 1/25 ohms

MCQ 101 Mark
Select the correct statement among the following.
i. Human female possesses homomorphic sex chromosomes.
ii. Males possess homogametic sex chromosomes in humans.
iii. Human females possess heterogametic sex chromosomes.
iv. Human male possesses homomorphic sex chromosomes.
  • A
    Statement (iii) is correct.
  • B
    Statement (i) is correct
  • C
    Statement (ii) is correct
  • D
    Statement (iv) is correct.
Answer
Statement (i) is correct.
Explanation: In humans, females have homomorphic sex chromosomes, i.e., two X chromosomes. Thus, they are homogametic, i.e., produce only one type of gametes which contain X chromosomes. Sex chromosomes of human males are heteromorphic or dissimilar, i.e., XY. Fluman males are therefore heterogametic, i.e., produce two types of gametes.

MCQ 121 Mark
The genotype for the height of an organism is Tt. What conclusion may be drawn from this?
  • A
    The allele for height has at least two different genes.
  • B
    There are at least two different alleles for the gene for height.
  • C
    There is one allele for height with two different forms.
  • D
    There are two different genes for height, each having a single allele.
Answer
There are at least two different alleles for the gene for height.
Explanation: Genotype is the genetic composition of an organism, i.e., the combination of alleles it possesses. Every characte in an organism is controlled by a gene that has at least two alleles that lie on the two homologous chromosomes at the same locus. These alleles may represent the same (homozygous, e.g., TT for height)or alternate expressions (heterozygous, e.g., Tt) of the same character. Thus, if genotype for the height of an organism is Tt, this means there are at least two different alleles fo the gene for height, one is T and the other is t.

MCQ 201 Mark
Which characteristic is observed by the reaction shown in the given image?
Image
  • A
    Formation of a precipitate
  • B
    Change in temperature
  • C
    Evolution of a gas
  • D
    Both change in temperature and evolution of gas
Answer
Both change in temperature and evolution of gas
Explanation: Two observations are made that may suggest that a chemical reaction has taken place in the given image are
i. evolution of a gas and
ii. change in temperature.
A pop sound is produced when zinc granules and dilute sulphuric acid reacts together which shows that hydrogen gas is produced during the reaction. The flask also becomes warm showing that there is a change in temperature. Hence, the chemica reaction between zinc and dilute sulphuric acid is characterized by the evolution of hydrogen gas and change in temperature.
