Which of the following statements about the circulatory system is correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following statements about the circulatory system is correct?
A. Blood pressure is highest in the veins.
B. The hepatic portal vein carries blood from the intestine to the liver.
C. The foramen ovale is a valve in the adult heart.
D. The heart of a fish has four chambers.
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The hepatic portal system directs nutrient-rich blood from intestines to liver. Blood pressure is highest in arteries; fish have two-chambered heart; foramen ovale is a fetal structure that closes after birth.

Question #1
Identify the correct statement about the human respiratory system:
A. Inhalation is a passive process.
B. The trachea branches into two bronchioles.
C. The diaphragm relaxes during inhalation.
D. Alveoli are surrounded by capillaries for gas exchange.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Alveoli have a rich capillary network for O₂/CO₂ exchange. Inhalation is active (diaphragm contracts), trachea divides into two bronchi (not bronchioles).

Question #2
The term 'plasmolysis' refers to:
A. Shrinking of the protoplasm away from the cell wall in a hypertonic solution
B. Equal movement of water across membrane
C. Bursting of an animal cell in hypotonic solution
D. Swelling of a plant cell in hypotonic solution

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Plasmolysis occurs when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, causing water to leave the cell by exosmosis, leading to shrinkage of the protoplasm and its detachment from the cell wall. Incipient plasmolysis is when protoplast just starts to pull away. Opposite is deplasmolysis (when placed in hypotonic solution). Swelling is turgidity. Animal cells undergo crenation or lysis.

Question #3
Consider statements about human immunity: 1. Innate immunity is present from birth. 2. Vaccination provides artificial active immunity. 3. Antibodies are produced by T-lymphocytes. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Innate immunity is the non-specific defense mechanism present by birth, including physical barriers and phagocytes. Vaccination introduces antigens to stimulate the body's own antibody production, conferring artificial active immunity. Antibodies (immunoglobulins) are produced and secreted by B-lymphocytes (plasma cells), not T-lymphocytes, which are involved in cell-mediated immunity. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
