A. Locomotion

B. Homeostasis

C. Transpiration

D. Photosynthesis

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
62.

Cold blooded animals are referred to as

A. Poikilothermic

B. Homothermic

C. Polythermic

D. Homeostatic

Detailed Solution

Insects, fish, reptiles and amphibians are cold blooded because their body temperature changes along with the external temperature which are known as poikilothermic, while birds and mammals are warm blooded because they maintain a high body temperature regardless of the external temperature.
A poikilothermic is an animal whose internal temperature varies considerably. It is the opposite of a homoeothermic, an animal which maintains thermal homeostasis

63.

The vessel carrying oxygenated blood to the tissues is

A. Arteries

B. Ventricles

C. Aorta

D. Lung

Detailed Solution

The arteries are perceived as carrying oxygenated blood to the tissues,

A. Pituitary

B. Adrenal

C. Pancreas

D. Thyroid

Detailed Solution

A mixed gland is a gland which has both endocrine and exocrine functions. The exocrine component has ducts, through which its secretions pass. The pancreas is a gland with both endocrine (insulin production) and exocrine (production of digestive enzymes) functions.

67.

At which stage in this cycle can a man be infected?

A. 2

B. 4

C. 5

D. 6

Detailed Solution

In the animal’s intestine, the oncospheres hatch, invade the intestinal wall, and migrate to the striated muscles, where they develop into cysticerci. A cysticercus can survive for several years in the animal. Humans become infected by ingesting raw or undercooked infected meat

The role of scolex in tapeworm is to

A. excretion

B. attachment to the host

C. movement

D. breathing

Detailed Solution

An adult tapeworm consists of a knoblike head, or scolex, equipped with hooks for attaching to the intestinal wall of the host (which may be a human), a neck region, and a series of flat, rectangular body segments, or proglottids, generated by the neck.
scolex is used for attachment to the intestinal wall

Which of the following animals is cold blooded

A. Cat

B. Lizard

C. Whale

D. Bird

Detailed Solution

Reptiles are cold-blooded animals. This means that they cannot produce heat in their own bodies, and have to rely on their surroundings to keep warm. This is why most reptiles are found in hot or warm climates. Reptiles like snakes and lizards are this type of animal. Amphibians like frogs, toads, and salamanders are, too. Fish are also cold-blooded animals.
