Class 10 Science Chapter 5 MCQ

Chloroplast are the organelles in the cells of green plants which contain chlorophyll and where photosynthesis take place. Thus, photosynthesis occurs in the organelles called the chloroplast present in the photosynthetic cell or mesophyll cell of green plants. In the other words, the site of photosynthesis in cell of the leaf are chloroplast. Chloroplast can be seen easily by using a light microscope.

It is incorrect as; autotrophs can convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates only in the presence of sunlight. The autotrophs contain the green pigment called chlorophyll which is capable of trapping sun energy. This trapped energy is utilised by them to make food by combining inorganic materials like CO2 and H2O by the process of photosynthesis. The food that is not used immediately, is stored in the form of starch. These autotrophs constitute the first trophic level in food chains.

Because autotrophs convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates in the PRESENCE of sunlight.

Starch breaking down into sugars and later on in Stomach it further break down in glucose.

Living things can move by themselves. The plants are fixed in the soil at a place so they cannot move like animals from place to place but the plants can only move parts of their body such as leaves, flowers, roots etc.

The solution turned blue-black in colour just because of starch.

Trypsin digests proteins in basic medium of food (pepsin digest proteins in acidic medium) and lipase emulsified fats.

Organisms which can make their own food from carbon dioxide and water are called autotrophs. Carbon dioxide and water are inorganic substance. So, we can say that, those organisms which can make their own food from the inorganic substances present in the environment are called autotrophs. All the green plants are autotrophs.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].

Lime water turns milky due to presence of carbon dioxide. The reaction of lime water and carbon dioxide forms calcium carbonate which is insoluble in water and makes lime water milky.

Alveoli of lungs. The walls of the alveoli contain an extensive network of blood-vessels. When we breathe in, we lift our ribs and flatten our diaphragm, and the chest cavity becomes larger as a result. Because of this, air is sucked into the lungs and fills the expanded alveoli. The blood brings carbon dioxide from the rest of the body for release into the alveoli, and the oxygen in the alveolar air is taken up by blood in the alveolar blood vessels to be transported to all the cells in the body.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].

Oxygen liberated during photosynthesis comes from water. The following events occur during photosynthesis (i) Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll. (ii) Conversion of light energy to chemical energy and splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. (iii) Reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrates, which is used as food for plants

Small intestine receives bile from the liver which is normally stored in the gall bladder. It performs two functions i.e. makes the food alkaline and break the fats present in food into small globules by the process of emulsification.

The following events occur in photosynthesis (i) Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll. (ii) Conversion of light energy to chemical energy and splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. (iii) Reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrates.

Arteries are the vessels which carry blood away from the heart to various organs of the body. Since the blood emerges from the heart under high pressure, the arteries have thick, elastic walls. Veins collect the blood from different organs and bring it back to the heart. They do not thick walls because the blood is no longer under pressure, instead they have valves that ensure that the blood flows in only one direction.

In Pisces (fishes), the heart is 2 chambered oral pumps deoxygenated blood to the gills, where oxygenation takes place by diffusion. The oxygenated blood from the gills is supplied to the body parts where oxygen is utilised and CO2 enters it making the blood deoxygenated. This deoxygenated blood returns to the heart. Thus, it has single circulation, i.e., blood passes through the heart only once during one complete cycle.

Living things can move by themselves. The plants are fixed in the soil at a place so they cannot move like animals from place to place but the plants can only move parts of their body such as leaves, flowers, roots etc.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].

When there is a lack of oxygen in our muscle cells, another pathway for the break-down of pyruvate is taken. Here the pyruvate is converted into lactic acid which is also a three-carbon molecule. This build-up of lactic acid in our muscles during sudden activity causes cramps.

The air for respiration is drawn into our body through the nostrils, it then goes into nasal passage. From there, air enters into pharynx, larynx, then into the windpipe (or trachea), bronchi, lungs and finally to the alveoli where gaseous exchange takes place.

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen for respiration. It takes place in the mitochondria. After glycolysis, pyruvate (from cytoplasm) enters the mitochondria and is oxidised in a series of reactions, to form considerable amount of energy (ATP), CO2 and H2O.

Fermentation is a form of anaerobic respiration. Pyruvate can be converted into ethanol and CO, in yeast during fermentation. Since this process takes place in the absence of air (oxygen), it is called anaerobic respiration. It takes place in cytoplasm. Break down of pyruvate using oxygen, i.e., aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria.

The small intestine in human beings is the site of complete digestion of food. It is also the main region for absorption of digested food. However, digestion begins in the mouth cavity, food is further digested in the stomach to form a semi-solid paste. The undigested food from small intestine passes into large intestine that absorb most of the water.
