Consider the following statements about the heart: 1. The SA node is the natural pacemaker. 2. The AV node delays the impulse before it passes to ventricles. 3. The Purkinje fibers conduct impulses through the ventricular walls. Which of the above is/are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider the following statements about the heart:
1. The SA node is the natural pacemaker.
2. The AV node delays the impulse before it passes to ventricles.
3. The Purkinje fibers conduct impulses through the ventricular walls.
Which of the above is/are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2, and 3
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
All three are correct: SA node initiates impulse, AV node delays it to allow atrial emptying, Purkinje fibers spread impulse through ventricles.

Question #1
The specific region where the exchange of gases occurs between air and blood in the lungs is the:
A. Trachea
B. Bronchi
C. Alveoli
D. Bronchioles

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Alveoli are tiny, thin-walled air sacs surrounded by a network of pulmonary capillaries. Oxygen diffuses from alveolar air into blood, and CO₂ diffuses from blood into alveolar air. Bronchi and bronchioles are air passages, trachea is the windpipe. The large surface area of alveoli (about 70 m²) facilitates efficient gas exchange.

Question #2
In the five-kingdom classification, which kingdom includes organisms that are eukaryotic, multicellular, and obtain nutrition by absorption?
A. Monera
B. Protista
C. Fungi
D. Plantae

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Fungi are eukaryotic, mostly multicellular (except yeast), and are heterotrophic by absorption (saprophytic or parasitic). Their cell walls contain chitin. Monera are prokaryotic, Protista are unicellular eukaryotes, Plantae are autotrophic multicellular organisms. Fungi play key roles as decomposers in ecosystems.

Question #3
In which phase of mitosis does the nuclear envelope reform around the chromosomes?
A. Metaphase
B. Prophase
C. Telophase
D. Anaphase

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
During telophase, the chromatids reach the poles, decondense, and the nuclear envelope reassembles around each set, forming two daughter nuclei. The spindle disappears. Prophase involves nuclear envelope breakdown, metaphase aligns chromosomes, and anaphase separates chromatids. Cytokinesis often overlaps with telophase, dividing the cytoplasm.
