Question #2
Assertion (A): Cilia and flagella are involved in cell movement.
Reason (R): They contain microtubules arranged in a 9+2 pattern.
A. A false, R true.
B. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.
C. A true, R false.
D. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Cilia and flagella are motile structures with a 9+2 axoneme of microtubules. Their movement propels the cell or moves fluids. R explains the structural basis.

Question #3
The fluid that reduces friction during breathing in the pleural cavity is:
A. Cerebrospinal fluid
B. Lymph
C. Synovial fluid
D. Pleural fluid

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The pleural cavity between the visceral and parietal pleura contains a thin layer of pleural fluid, lubricating the surfaces to reduce friction during lung expansion and contraction. Synovial fluid is in joints, cerebrospinal fluid surrounds the CNS, lymph is in the lymphatic system. Pleural effusion is excess accumulation.
