5. When a person is suffering from severe cold, he or she cannot ?

Differentiate a hot object from a cold object

Differentiate red light from green light

Differentiate the smell of a perfume from that of an agarbatti

Differentiate the taste of an apple from that of an ice cream

Answer: Differentiate the smell of a perfume from that of an agarbatti

Explanation:

During cold, mucus in nasal passage becomes too thick, so that order molecules can’t reach the olfactory receptor cells. Thus, brain receives no signal identifying the odour, and so the smell of a perfume cannot be differentiating from that of an “Agarbatti”.


6. Electrical impulse travels in a neuron from ?

Axonal end -> Axon -> Cell body -> Dendrite

Dendrite -> Cell body -> Axon -> Axonal end

Cell body -> Dendrite -> Axon -> Axonal end

Dendrite -> Axon -> Axonal end -> Cell body

Answer: Dendrite -> Cell body -> Axon -> Axonal end

Explanation:

The neurons carry messages in the form of electrical signals called “electrical impulses” or “nerve impulses”. The dendrites pick up the impulses from receptor and pass them to the cell body, and then along the axon to its end. At the axonal end, electrical impulses set off release of some chemicals that crosses the gap or synapse and start a similar impulse in dendrite of the next neuron.


7. The gap between two neurons is called _____ ?

Axon

Dendron

Synthesise

Synapse

Answer: Synapse

Explanation:


8. The upward or down ward movement of shoot and root respectively is influenced by gravity. Such movement is called ?

Gravitism

Gravitytropism

Gravity movement

Geotropism

Answer: Geotropism

Explanation:


9. The substance that triggers the fall of mature leaves and fruits from plants is due to ?

Abscisic acid

Cytokinin

Gibberellin

Auxin

Answer: Abscisic acid

Explanation:

Abscisic acid is responsible for the formation of layer of abscission. This layer disconnects the living tissue of leaf from the other parts.
