Which chamber of the human heart has the thickest muscular wall? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which chamber of the human heart has the thickest muscular wall?
A. Right atrium
B. Right ventricle
C. Left ventricle
D. Left atrium
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The left ventricle has the thickest and most muscular wall of all the heart chambers. This is because it must pump oxygenated blood with high pressure through the aorta to supply the entire systemic circulation of the body. The right ventricle only pumps blood to the lungs, which requires much less pressure.

Which of the following is a defining characteristic of all Chordates?
A. Exoskeleton made of chitin
B. Presence of a notochord at some stage of life
C. Ventral nerve cord
D. Open circulatory system

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
All chordates, at some point during their larval or adult stages, possess three key features: a dorsal hollow nerve cord, a notochord (a flexible rod supporting the body), and pharyngeal slits. The notochord may be replaced by a vertebral column in vertebrates. Arthropods have a ventral nerve cord and open circulatory system.

A. Basophil
B. Lymphocyte
C. Monocyte
D. Neutrophil

Correct Answer: Option A

Which of the following tissues in plants is responsible for transportation of water and minerals?
A. Phloem
B. Xylem
C. Epidermis
D. Cortex

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Xylem is a complex permanent tissue composed of tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma, and xylem fibers. It conducts water and dissolved minerals from roots to aerial parts unidirectionally. Phloem transports organic nutrients bidirectionally. Cortex is ground tissue for storage, epidermis provides protection. Xylem vessels are dead at maturity, with lignified walls.
