A cysticerous in pig muscles can remain alive for
six months
one year

one month
C.
six years
Cysticerci remain alive for 5-6 years and are then calcified by the host (pig).
Fluid mosaic model exhibits amphipathy because of
glycoproteins
phospholipids
lipids
glycolipids
B.
phospholipids
Fluid mosaic model exhibits amphipathy. It is due to phospholipids as they have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups.
Digestion in Leucosolenia and other sponges is
only extracellular
only intracellular
first extracellular, then intracellular
first intracellular, then extracellular
B.
only intracellular
Digestion occurs in food vacuoles only, hence, it is completely intracellular.
Leveret is young one of
eagle
hawk
deer
None of these
D.
None of these
Leveret is young one of a mammal (hare).
The repeating unit in glycogen is
glucose
fructose
galactose
cellulose
A.
glucose
Glycogen is a polymer of D- glucose and is highly branched and the branching occurs in 10-12 glucose units. Hence, the repeating unit in glycogen is Glucose.
Non-reducing sugars have
free CHO group and bound CO group
free CO group and bound CHO group
both CO and CHO free groups
neither free CO nor free CHO groups
D.
neither free CO nor free CHO groups
Non- reducing sugars lack free aldehyde or ketonic group and they do not reduce cupric ions of Benedict's or Fehling's solution to cuprous ions, e.g., sucrose.
Tube within tube plan is exhibited by which of the following groups of animals?
Arthropods
Cephalochordates
Annelids
Mollusca
C.
Annelids
Annelids have straight alimentary canal representing a tube within a tube plan. In deuterostomatic animals anus develops earlier during embryonic development from
blastopore (e.g., all chordates and echinoderm invertebrates).
Caudal vertebrae of man are united to form a single
synsacrum
pygostyle
coccyx
None of these
C.
coccyx
The bones of the tail, which articulate with the sacral vertebrae. The number of caudal vertebrae varies with the species. The coccyx is a triangular arrangement of bone that makes up the very bottom portion of the spine below the sacrum. It represents a vestigial tail, hence the common term tailbone.
Synsacrum and pygostyle are unique features of aves.
Molluscan blood contains
haemoglobin
haemozoin
haemocyanin
All of these
C.
haemocyanin
Haemocyanin is the characteristic respiratory pigment of only Mollusca and some arthropods.
Moulting in snakes is done by shedding
comified cells
stratified germinativum
epidermis
dermis
A.
comified cells
Stratum comeum is keratinized layer and is shed by snakes annually.
