A) Absorption
B) Filtration
C) Protection
D) Secretion
✅ Answer: C) Protection

7. In which of the following connective tissues do we find chondrocytes?
A) Bone
B) Cartilage
C) Blood
D) Areolar
✅ Answer: B) Cartilage

B) Muscle to bone
C) Muscle to muscle
D) None of these
✅ Answer: A) Bone to bone
Explanation: Ligaments are strong, fibrous connective tissues that link bones at joints.
9. The excretory organ of earthworm is:
A) Flame cell
B) Nephridia
C) Malpighian tubule
D) Antennal gland
✅ Answer: B) Nephridia
Explanation: Nephridia in earthworms function like kidneys to remove metabolic wastes.
10. Which tissue makes up the lining of the kidney tubules?
A) Cuboidal epithelium
B) Columnar epithelium
C) Ciliated epithelium
D) Squamous epithelium
✅ Answer: A) Cuboidal epithelium
Explanation: Cuboidal epithelium forms the lining of kidney tubules and assists in absorption and secretion.
11. Presence of canal system is a characteristic of:
A) Cnidaria
B) Porifera
C) Platyhelminthes
D) Mollusca
✅ Answer: B) Porifera
Explanation: Poriferans (sponges) possess a canal system for water circulation and food collection.
12. Malpighian tubules in cockroach open into:
A) Hepatic caeca
B) Hindgut
C) Midgut
D) Foregut
✅ Answer: B) Hindgut
Explanation: Malpighian tubules open into the hindgut and are involved in excretion and osmoregulation.
13. Compound eyes of cockroach are made of:
A) Lenses
B) Ommatidia
C) Retina
D) Rhodopsin
✅ Answer: B) Ommatidia
Explanation: Compound eyes are composed of numerous units called ommatidia, providing a mosaic vision.
14. The function of intercalated discs is to:
A) Connect smooth muscle cells
B) Transmit impulses in cardiac muscles
C) Attach muscles to bone
D) Initiate peristalsis
✅ Answer: B) Transmit impulses in cardiac muscles
Explanation: Intercalated discs help in synchronized contraction by facilitating communication between cardiac muscle cells.
15. Which connective tissue connects muscle to bone?
A) Cartilage
B) Ligament
C) Tendon
D) Areolar
✅ Answer: C) Tendon
Explanation: Tendons are fibrous connective tissues that attach muscles to bones.
16. Body of cockroach is divisible into:
A) Head and trunk
B) Head, thorax, abdomen
C) Head and abdomen
D) Thorax and abdomen
✅ Answer: B) Head, thorax, abdomen
Explanation: Like all insects, cockroaches have a body divided into three regions: head, thorax, and abdomen.
17. Septal nephridia in earthworm are present on which septa?
A) 4/5 to 8/9
B) 7/8 to 15/16
C) 15/16 to the last
D) 26/27 to the last
✅ Answer: C) 15/16 to the last
Explanation: Septal nephridia are found from the 15th/16th segment to the last in earthworms and are excretory in nature.
18. Which of the following is NOT a part of the cockroach alimentary canal?
A) Crop
B) Gizzard
C) Malpighian tubule
D) Hepatic caeca
✅ Answer: C) Malpighian tubule
Explanation: Malpighian tubules are excretory organs, not a part of the digestive system.
19. Muscles of limbs in humans are:
A) Voluntary
B) Involuntary
C) Cardiac
D) Smooth
✅ Answer: A) Voluntary
Explanation: Skeletal muscles that move the limbs are voluntary and under conscious control.
20. Compound epithelium is mainly concerned with:
A) Protection
B) Absorption
C) Secretion
D) Reproduction
✅ Answer: A) Protection
Explanation: With multiple cell layers, compound epithelium provides mechanical and chemical protection.
21. Haemocoel is found in:
A) Earthworm
B) Cockroach
C) Frog
D) Leech
✅ Answer: B) Cockroach
Explanation: Arthropods like cockroach have an open circulatory system with haemocoel as the body cavity.
22. Which one is not matched correctly?
A) Earthworm – Nephridia
B) Cockroach – Malpighian tubules
C) Frog – Flame cells
D) Hydra – Cnidoblasts
✅ Answer: C) Frog – Flame cells
Explanation: Flame cells are found in flatworms, not frogs. Frogs have kidneys for excretion.
23. Which of the following epithelial tissues is involved in absorption?
A) Stratified
B) Columnar
C) Squamous
D) Cuboidal
✅ Answer: B) Columnar
Explanation: Columnar epithelium lines the intestine and helps in absorption due to its tall structure.
