Class 10 paper SET-6

1.Enzymes are composed of _______________.

A. Amino Acids
B. Monosaccharides
C. disaccharides
D. None of the above

Ans: (a) Amino Acids

Sol: The
chemical structure of enzymes is simple in theory, but can end up
being quite complex. Enzymes are globular proteins that are formed from 1
or more polypeptide chains. Polypeptide chains are basically strings of
amino acids
2. Enzymes for respiration is found in ______________.
A. Golgi complex
B. Ribosomes
C. Mitochondria
D. None of the above

Ans: (c) Mitochondria

Sol: Respiratory enzymes are present in mitochondrial matrix. These accounts for the oxidative
phosphorylation process, which produces ATP molecules.

3.________________ is used in organ transplantation.

A. Lovastatin
B. Cyclosporine
C. Ergotine
D. Penicillium

Ans: (b) Cyclosporine

Sol: Ciclosporin, also spelled cyclosporine and cyclosporin, is an immunosuppressant

medication and natural product. It is taken by mouth or by injection into a vein for rheumatoid
arthritis, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, nephrotic syndrome, and in organ transplants to prevent
rejection.

4.In Bryophytes, gametophyte generation is _____________.

A. Dominant
B. Predominant
C. Recessive
D. None of the above

Ans: (a) Dominant

Sol: The plant body of the Bryophyte is gametophyte and it represents the dominant phase in its life
cycle. The zygote is the first cell of the sporophytic generation it is held inside the archegonium. It
forms embryo later on develops to sporophytic part that is the sporogonium. It depends completely
upon the dominant gametophytic generation.
5. Calvin cycle performs the function of
A. generation of O2
B. assimilation of CO2
C. transport of electron
D. trapping of sunlight

Ans: (b) assimilation of CO2

Sol: The Calvin cycle is the cycle of chemical reactions performed by plants to “fix” carbon from
CO2 into three-carbon sugars.

6. Plasmodium is transmitted by the bites of

A. female anopheles’ mosquito
B. male culex mosquito
C. both a and b
D. none of them

Ans: (a) female anopheles’ mosquito

Sol: The life cycle of plasmodium includes two phases, namely asexual and
sexual which are completed in two different hosts. The sexual phase of the
life cycle is completed in the female Anopheles mosquito and the asexual
phase is completed in human beings.

7. Who showed that the amount of adenine in DNA always equals the amount of thymine?
A. Erwin Chargaff
B. Erwin Schrodinger
C. Sutton
D. all of them

Ans: (a) Erwin Chargaff

8. Mr. Bilal has blood group A and Mrs. Bilal has blood group AB, their child would be
A. O
B. B
C. A
D. none of them

Ans: (b) B

Sol:

9. The turgor presence in plants maintains

A. flaccidity in plants
B. turgidity in plants
C. both a and b
D. none of them

Ans: (b)turgidity in plants

10. 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

Ans: (d) starch

Sol: Starch is often used in chemistry as an indicator for redox titrations where triiodide is present.
Starch forms a very dark blue-black complex with triiodide which can be made by mixing iodine with
iodide (often from potassium iodide).

11. During deficiency of oxygen in tissues of human beings, pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid
in the
(a) cytoplasm
(b) chloroplast
(c) mitochondria
(d) Golgi body

Ans: (a) cytoplasm

12. Which is the first enzyme to mix with food in the digestive tract?
(a) Pepsin
(b) Cellulase
(c) Amylase
(d) Trypsin

Ans: (c) Amylase

13. The opening and closing of the stomatal pore depends upon
(a) water in guard cells
(b) temperature
(c) oxygen
(d) concentration of CO2 in stomata

Ans: (a) water in guard cells

Sol:

14. Choose the event that does not occur in photosynthesis

(a) Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll
(b) Reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrates
(c) Oxidation of carbon to carbon dioxide
(d) Conversion of light energy to chemical energy

Ans: (c) Oxidation of carbon to carbon dioxide
