Substantial quantities of epidemiologic, clinical, and laboratory data link benzene to aplastic anemia, acute leukemia, and bone marrow abnormalities. One of its forms, Ethylbenzene, is used in Paints (Arts and Craft and Interior/Exterior Building)
[14] Total number of muscles present in our body is -
A.
565
B.
656
C.
665

Ans:
656
Explanation :
The number of muscles in the human body varies from about 656 to 850 (sometimes from 639 to around 800). An exact number is difficult to define. The difficulty lies partly in the fact that different sources group the muscles differently and partly in that some muscles, such as palmaris longus, are not always present.
[15] Biodegradable wastes can usually be converted into useful substances with the help of:
A.

An egg yolk is a part of an egg which feeds the developing embryo. As a food, yolks are a major source of vitamins and minerals. They contain all of the egg's fat and cholesterol, and about one-half of the protein.
[22] Respiration is regarded as a -
A.
Synthetic Process
B.
Catabolic Process
C.
Anabolic Process
D.
Reduction Process
Ans:
Catabolic Process
Explanation :
Cellular respiration is a catabolic process because it is breaking down glucose to eventually transfer energy into its usable form in ATP. An anabolic process builds things up, photosynthesis is a version of this and the metabolic opposite of cellular respiration.
[23] The structure which helps in the nutrition of the Embryo is -
A.
Yolk sac
B.
Amniotic membrane
C.
Crypts
D.
Placenta
Ans:
Yolk sac
Explanation :
The yolk sac is a membranous sac attached to an embryo, providing early nourishment. It functions as the developmental circulatory system of the human embryo, before internal circulation begins. It carries out transfer of nutrients in weeks 2 and 3 when the uteroplacental circulation is established
[24] Which one of the following parts of the human brain is the regulating centre for swallowing and vomiting?
A.
Cerebellum
B.
Cerebrum
C.
Medulla Oblongata
D.
Pons
Ans:
Medulla Oblongata
Explanation :
Medulla Oblongata is that part of the brain which regulates basic functions. It regulates vomiting, hiccupping, swallowing, coughing, sneezing, etc.
[25] Which one of the following animals is devoid of lateral line sense organ?
A.
Labeo
B.
Catla
C.
Sea horse
D.
Magur
Ans:
Sea horse
Explanation :
The lateral line is a system of sense organs found in aquatic vertebrates, chiefly fish, used to detect movement and vibration in the surrounding water. Sea Horses do not have such organ.
Explanation :
Benzene is an organic chemical compound sometimes known as benzol which is carcinogenic. Substantial quantities of epidemiologic, clinical, and laboratory data link benzene to aplastic anemia, acute leukemia, and bone marrow abnormalities. One of its forms, Ethylbenzene, is used in Paints (Arts and Craft and Interior/Exterior Building)
[14] Total number of muscles present in our body is -
A.
565
B.
656
C.
665
D.
556
Ans:
656
Explanation :
The number of muscles in the human body varies from about 656 to 850 (sometimes from 639 to around 800). An exact number is difficult to define. The difficulty lies partly in the fact that different sources group the muscles differently and partly in that some muscles, such as palmaris longus, are not always present.
[15] Biodegradable wastes can usually be converted into useful substances with the help of:
A.
nuclear proteins
B.
radio-active substances
C.
viruses
D.
bacteria
Ans:
bacteria
Explanation :
Biodegradable waste includes any organic matter in waste which can be broken down into carbon dioxide, water, methane or simple organic molecules by micro-organisms such as bacteria. Biodegradable waste can be used for composting or a resource for heat, electricity and fuel by means of incineration or anaerobic digestion.
[16] An ant can see the objects all around it due to the presence of -
A.
Eyes over the head
B.
Well developed eyes
C.
Compound eyes
D.
Simple eyes
Ans:
Compound eyes
Explanation :
Compound eyes are found among the arthropods and are composed of many simple facets which, depending on the details of anatomy, may give either a single pixelated image or multiple images, per eye. Each sensor has its own lens and photosensitive cell(s). Compound eyes are very sensitive to motion.
[17] Which one of the following plant is used to treat blood pressure?
A.
Sarpagandha
B.
