The S-A node (sinoatrial node) is located in the: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The S-A node (sinoatrial node) is located in the:
A. Aorta
B. Interventricular septum
C. Left ventricle
D. Right atrium
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The sinoatrial (SA) node is a specialized cluster of cells in the right atrium near the opening of the superior vena cava. It generates electrical impulses spontaneously, setting the pace of the heartbeat, hence called the pacemaker. The impulse spreads to the atrioventricular (AV) node, then to bundle of His and Purkinje fibers. Normal SA node firing rate is 60-100/min.

Question #1
The element that is a component of DNA and ATP is:
A. Phosphorus
B. Iron
C. Nitrogen
D. Sulfur

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Phosphorus is part of the phosphate backbone of DNA/RNA and the high-energy bonds of ATP. Nitrogen is in bases and amino acids, iron in hemoglobin, sulfur in some amino acids. Phosphorus is essential for energy transfer and genetic material.

Question #2
Which plant tissue is responsible for the transport of organic nutrients?
A. Collenchyma
B. Sclerenchyma
C. Xylem
D. Phloem

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Phloem transports organic solutes (mainly sucrose) from source (leaves) to sink (roots, fruits) in a process called translocation, using sieve tubes and companion cells. Xylem transports water and minerals from roots upwards. Collenchyma and sclerenchyma are mechanical tissues providing support. Phloem is alive at maturity, while xylem vessels are dead. Companion cells regulate sieve tube activity.

Question #3
Consider statements about cell division: 1. Cytokinesis in plant cells occurs by cell plate formation. 2. Meiosis maintains the chromosome number. 3. Mitosis occurs in somatic cells. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In plant cells, which have rigid cell walls, cytokinesis occurs by the formation of a new cell wall (cell plate) in the middle of the cell. Mitosis is equational division occurring in somatic cells for growth and repair, maintaining the same chromosome number. Meiosis is reductional division, halving the chromosome number to produce gametes. Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct.
