Consider statements about human anatomy: 1. The brain is part of the central nervous system. 2. The spinal cord is part of the peripheral nervous system. 3. Nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about human anatomy: 1. The brain is part of the central nervous system. 2. The spinal cord is part of the peripheral nervous system. 3. Nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1 and 3 only
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and the spinal cord, which process and coordinate information. The PNS consists of all the neural structures outside the CNS, including cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and ganglia, which connect the CNS to the rest of the body. Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct.

Question #1
A network of interconnected food chains is called a:
A. Ecological niche
B. Food web
C. Trophic level
D. Food pyramid

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A food web represents complex feeding relationships in an ecosystem, showing how multiple food chains are linked. Food chain is linear.

Question #2
Assertion (A): Plant cells possess a large central vacuole. Reason (R): The vacuole stores waste products and maintains turgor pressure.
A. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.
B. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
C. A is false, but R is true.
D. A is true, but R is false.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Mature plant cells contain a large central vacuole that stores water, ions, pigments, and waste products, and is critical for maintaining turgor pressure against the cell wall, providing structural support. The vacuole can occupy up to 90% of cell volume. The reason correctly explains the function of the vacuole, so both statements are true and linked.

Question #3
In plant anatomy, the 'Vascular cambium' is a lateral meristem responsible for secondary growth (increase in girth) in dicots and gymnosperms. It produces secondary xylem (wood) towards the:
A. Upwards only
B. Inside (center)
C. Both inside and outside equally
D. Outside (periphery)

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The vascular cambium is a thin layer of meristematic cells located between the primary xylem and primary phloem in the vascular bundles of dicot stems and roots, and in the secondary vascular tissue. It is a lateral meristem that divides periclinally (parallel to the surface). It produces secondary xylem (wood) cells towards the inside (center) of the stem or root, and secondary phloem (inner bark) cells towards the outside (periphery). Since it produces xylem much faster than phloem, the secondary xylem accumulates and forms the bulk of the wood.
