Consider statements about human physiology: 1. The kidney filters blood to form urine. 2. The liver produces bile for fat digestion. 3. The spleen produces digestive enzymes. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about human physiology: 1. The kidney filters blood to form urine. 2. The liver produces bile for fat digestion. 3. The spleen produces digestive enzymes. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 2 and 3 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The kidneys are the primary excretory organs, filtering blood through nephrons to remove waste products and excess water, forming urine. The liver is a multifunctional organ that produces bile, which is stored in the gall bladder and released into the small intestine to emulsify fats, aiding in their digestion. The spleen is a lymphoid organ involved in filtering blood and immune responses; it does not produce digestive enzymes (the pancreas does). Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

The type of root that develops from any part of the plant other than the radicle is called:
A. Adventitious root
B. Fibrous root
C. Taproot
D. Primary root

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Adventitious roots arise from stem, leaf, or other non-root tissues, unlike taproots and fibrous roots that develop from the radicle. Examples: prop roots of banyan, stilt roots of maize, aerial roots of orchids. They can serve support, aeration, or additional absorption.
