Class 10 Science Chapter 6 MCQ Test for Revision
The following test of MCQs contains 10 questions for practice. Considering each questions as of 1 mark, attend the test. If you are getting less than 40 percent marks means, you need to go through NCERT Books once again. Doing more than 6 or more questions correctly is satisfactory.
Q1
Select the correct statement:
[A]. Heterotrophs do not synthesize their own food
[B]. Heterotrophs utilize solar energy for photosynthesis
[C]. Heterotrophs synthesize their own food
[D]. Heterotrophs are capable of converting carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates
Answer: Option A
Explanation:Heterotrophs are those organisms which cannot make their own food from inorganic substances like CO2 and water as they do not have chlorophyll to trap solar energy, e.g., all animals, most bacteria and fungi.
They depend on other organisms for their food. Autotrophs synthesize their own food through photosynthesis by utilising solar energy. e.g., green plants.
Q2
Priya is writing some statements, choose the correct statement and help him:
[A]. Autotrophic nutrition is that mode of nutrition in which an organism makes its own food from the simple inorganic materials.
[B]. Heterotrophic nutrition is that mode of nutrition in which an organism cannot make its own food from simple inorganic materials but depends on the other organisms for its food.
[C]. Nutrition is a process of intake of nutrients by an organism as well as the utilization of these nutrients by the organisms.
[D]. All the above.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:Here, all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].
Q3
A few drops of iodine solution were added to rice water. The solution turned blue-black in colour. This indicates that rice water contains
[A]. complex proteins.
[B]. simple proteins.
[C]. fats.
[D]. starch.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:The solution turned blue-black in colour just because of starch.
Q4
Choose the function of the pancreatic juice from the following
[A]. trypsin digests proteins and lipase carbohydrates.
[B]. trypsin digests emulsified fats and lipase proteins.
[C]. trypsin and lipase digest fats.
[D]. trypsin digests proteins and lipase emulsified fats.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:Trypsin digests proteins in basic medium of food (pepsin digest proteins in acidic medium) and lipase emulsified fats.
Q5
What prevents backflow of blood inside the heart during contraction?
[A]. Valves in heart.
[B]. Thick muscular walls of ventricles.
[C]. Thin walls of atria.
[D]. All of the above.
Answer: Option A
Explanation:Valves allow the flow of blood in one direction only.
Q6
If salivary amylase is lacking in the saliva, which of the following events in the mouth cavity will be affected?
[A]. Proteins breaking down into amino acids
[B]. Starch breaking down into sugars
[C]. Fats breaking down into fatty acids and glycerol
[D]. Absorption of vitamins
Answer: Option B
Explanation:The human saliva contains an enzyme called salivary amylase, which breaks down the starch present in food into sugar. The digestion of starch (carbohydrates) begins in the mouth. In case, saliva is lacking, it will affect the break-down of starch.
The protein digestion begins in the stomach by the enzyme pepsin and completes in small intestine by enzyme trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidases, aminopeptidases and dipeptidases.
The fats are broken down into small particles by bile in small intestine and then broken-down fatty acids and glycerol by lipases present in pancreatic juice.
Absorption of vitamins takes place in the small intestine.
Q7
Vishrut appeared in class test but he confused to know the incorrect statement. Would you help him to know that?
[A]. Animals can move from one place to another or they can move their body parts.
[B]. The plants can only move parts of their body such as leaves, flowers, shoots and roots.
[C]. Non-living things which are not alive they also move by themselves.
[D]. The movement over very small-scale organisms are invisible to the naked eyes.
Answer: Option C
Explanation:Non-living things which are not alive cannot move by themselves. For example, a stone is a non-living thing which cannot move by itself from one place to another or show any other type of movement. We will have to move it by applying force from outside.
Q8
Which of the following statement is or are incorrect?
[A]. The respiration which takes place without oxygen is called an aerobic respiration.
[B]. In an aerobic respiration the microorganisms like east break down glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide and release energy.
[C]. The whole process of an aerobic respiration take place in the Protoplasm of cells.
[D]. None of the above
Answer: Option C
Explanation:The whole process of an aerobic respiration take place in the cytoplasm of cells.
Q9
Which of the following statement is or are correct?
[A]. Each kidney is made up of a large number of excretory units called nephrons.
[B]. The best long-term solution for kidney failure is the kidney transplant.
[C]. The process used to clean the blood of a person by separating the waste substance from it, is called dialysis.
[D]. All the above.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:Here, all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].
Q10
Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct?
[A]. Pyruvate can be converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide by yeast, and Fermentation takes place in mitochondria.
[B]. Fermentation takes place in aerobic bacteria, and Fermentation is a form of anaerobic respiration.
[C]. Pyruvate can be converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide by yeast, and Fermentation is a form of anaerobic respiration.
[D]. Fermentation takes place in aerobic bacteria, and Fermentation takes place in mitochondria.
Answer: Option C
Explanation: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.
