The other conditions (anemia, malnutrition, indigestion) can be related to parasitic infections. 4 / 50 4. which of the following is not an effect of noise pollution A) headache B) restlessness C) malnutrition D) deafness Noise pollution primarily affects health and well-being, leading to issues like deafness, restlessness, and headaches, but it does not directly cause malnutrition. 5 / 50 5. which of the following is not a way of preventing soil pollution A) preventing soil erosion B) crop rotation C) manuring and prevening over grazing D) proper waste disposal Proper waste disposal is a general practice for managing waste, but it is not specifically a method for preventing soil pollution compared to crop rotation, manuring, and preventing overgrazing. 6 / 50 6. which of the following is not correct A) xerophytes are plants that live on land with plenty of water and sand B) epiphytes are plants that live on other plants C) mesophytes are plants that live on land with just enough water D) hydrophytes are plants that live on water Xerophytes are adapted to survive in arid environments with scarce water, not areas with plenty of water. 7 / 50 7. Which of the following is not correct about a tapeworm (Taenia ) A) tapeworm feed by diffusion through body surface B) tapeworm has a knoblike head called scolex C) tapeworm interact with man in a symbiotic behavior D) tape worm has no alimentary canal Tapeworms are typically parasitic and cause harm to their hosts rather than providing mutual benefits, which is what symbiosis implies 8 / 50 8. which of the following is the function of the ozone layer A) prevent flooding B) prevent sandstorm C) prevent lightening D) prevent excess irradiation from the earth The ozone layer protects the Earth by absorbing the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, preventing excessive irradiation. 9 / 50 9. a density factor that regulates the population of organisms in an area is A) disease outbreak B) fire outbreak C) drought D) flood Disease can significantly affect population density by increasing mortality rates, unlike factors like flood or drought, which can cause temporary changes. 10 / 50 10. which of the following is not correct about mesophytes A) they live on land with just enough water B) they have large leaves C) they have waxy cuticle D) the have poorly developed roots Mesophytes, which thrive in environments with moderate water availability, typically have well-developed roots to access moisture. 11 / 50 11. Which of the following is not correct about the proglottis of tapeworm A) each segment has stomach and intestine for feeding B) each proglottis has male(testis) and female organ(ovary) for hermaphroditic reproduction C) A proglottis is a single segment of the tapeworm D) a new proglottis is formed near the head or scolex Proglottids do not have a digestive system; they absorb nutrients through their body surface. 12 / 50 12. which of the following is not correct about nematodes A) they are roundworms B) they feed by diffusion C) they have nervous system D) the have separate male and female Nematodes have a complete digestive system and do not rely on diffusion for feeding.

In contrast, food availability, disease, and water supply are critical factors that can significantly impact population dynamics. 15 / 50 15. which of the following causes soil pollution A) plantign trees B) Using pesticides C) dumping of garbage D) dredging The use of pesticides contributes to soil pollution through chemical residues that can harm soil health. Dredging and dumping of garbage can also cause pollution, but planting trees helps improve soil quality. 16 / 50 16. which of the following is not a common cause of water pollution A) household wastes B) industrial waste C) nuclear waste D) agricultural waste While nuclear waste can contaminate water, it is not as common as agricultural waste, household wastes, or industrial waste, which frequently contribute to water pollution. 17 / 50 17. Which of the following is not faced with the uncertainty of hunting for food A) snake B) hyena C) hawk D) goat Goats are herbivores that graze on plants, and they have a predictable food source. In contrast, hyenas, snakes, and hawks rely on hunting, which involves uncertainty in finding prey. 18 / 50 18. which of the following causes acid rain A) oxide of Nitrogen B) carbondioxide C) hydrocarbon D) neon Oxides of nitrogen also contribute to acid rain, reacting with water to form nitric acid. 19 / 50 19. which of the following is not correct about adaptation in plants A) they have stomata for absorbing oxygen B) the have waxy leaves for preventing water loss C) they have roots for absorbing water D) the have swollen stem for water storage Stomata are primarily for gas exchange, allowing for the uptake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen, not for absorbing oxygen directly. 20 / 50 20. which of the following is not a mutualistic relationship A) cattle and cattle egret B) rhizobium and leguminous plant root C) epiphyte and tall trees D) flatworm and intestine of man The relationship between flatworms and the human intestine is parasitic. In contrast, rhizobium and leguminous plants, epiphytes and tall trees, and cattle and cattle egrets all demonstrate mutualism, where both parties benefit. 21 / 50 21. which of the following least affects population size A) variation B) disease C) abiotic factor D) immigration Variation refers to genetic diversity within a population and does not directly affect population size like disease, immigration, or abiotic factors do. 22 / 50 22. dumping pile of sewage and garbage on land is A) environmental pollution B) land pollution C) soil pollution D) air pollution The act of dumping sewage and garbage on land results in land pollution, which negatively impacts soil and the surrounding environment. 23 / 50 23. what is the function of contractile vacuole in paramecium A) for mobility B) for absorbing nutrients C) for expelling excess water D) for absorbing oxygen The contractile vacuole functions to expel excess water that accumulates in the cell, maintaining osmotic balance. 24 / 50 24. which of the following is not correct A) symbiosis is relationship in which both parties benefit B) commensalism is relationship in which no party benefits C) parasitisim is relationship in which one party benefits D) mutalism is relationship in which both parties benefit Commensalism is actually a relationship where one party benefits while the other is neither 25 / 50 25. which of the following is not correct about nematodes A) they have cylindrical body B) they have well developed alimentary system C) they are hermaphrodites D) they have simple nervous system While some nematodes are hermaphroditic, many have separate sexes.

A plant that grows on another plant without harming the host is A) epiphyte B) saprophyte C) ectoparsite D) thallophyte Epiphytes live on other plants but do not harm them, unlike parasites, which take nutrients from the host. 47 / 50 47. Which of the following is not a parasitic adaptation A) ability to produce enzymes that dissolve tissue B) ability to cling C) ability to burrow or penetrate tissue D) ability to moult The ability to moult is a general adaptation seen in many organisms for growth and development, not specifically a parasitic adaptation. The other options directly relate to adaptations that help parasites survive in their hosts. 48 / 50 48. what is the goal of color adaptation A) to prevent water loss B) to attract mating partner C) to escape predator D) to attract prey Color adaptation often serves to camouflage organisms, helping them avoid predation. 49 / 50 49. what are fallouts A) combination of sandstorm and lightening B) combination of hydrocarbon and nitrogen C) radiation particles after nuclear explosion D) combination of soot and water Fallouts refer to the radioactive particles that fall to the ground after a nuclear explosion, posing serious health risks. 50 / 50 50. Which of the following is not a parasitic adaptation of tapeworm A) ability to live in the absence of oxygen in the intestine B) ability to make use of established food chain(from grass to cow and to man) C) ability to produce few tiny eggs D) hermaphrodite nature This refers to a food chain, not an adaptation of the tapeworm itself.
