Identify the correct statement regarding the human respiratory system: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Identify the correct statement regarding the human respiratory system:
A. Alveoli are the main sites of gas exchange.
B. The diaphragm is made of smooth muscle.
C. The trachea is also called the voice box.
D. Pulmonary veins carry deoxygenated blood.
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Alveoli are thin-walled air sacs where O₂ and CO₂ exchange occurs. The voice box is the larynx; diaphragm is skeletal muscle; pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood.

Question #1
Consider statements about microorganisms: 1. Bacteria reproduce by binary fission. 2. Viruses have their own metabolic machinery. 3. Fungi have a cell wall made of chitin. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Bacteria are prokaryotes that primarily reproduce asexually through binary fission, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Fungi are eukaryotes characterized by having cell walls primarily composed of chitin, a tough polysaccharide. Viruses lack cellular structure and metabolic machinery; they are obligate parasites that rely entirely on the host cell's machinery for replication. Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct.

Question #2
The part of the neuron that receives signals from other neurons is the:
A. Cell body
B. Axon terminal
C. Dendrite
D. Axon

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Dendrites are branched extensions of the neuron cell body that receive synaptic inputs from other neurons and transmit graded potentials towards the soma. The axon conducts action potentials away from the soma to the terminals, which then synapse with other cells. Dendrites have receptor sites for neurotransmitters.

Question #3
The type of plant tissue that has thin walls and functions in photosynthesis and storage is:
A. Sclerenchyma
B. Collenchyma
C. Xylem
D. Parenchyma

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Parenchyma cells are living, thin-walled, and isodiametric, making up the ground tissue of plants. They are involved in photosynthesis (chlorenchyma), storage, and secretion. Collenchyma provides support with uneven thickening, sclerenchyma has lignified walls and is often dead, xylem conducts water.
