BARPETA
[Link] a synapse chemical
signal is transmitted
from-
A)dendrite end of one
neuron to axonal end of
another neuron.
B)axon to cell body of the
same neuron.
C)cell body to axonal end
of the same neuron.
D)axonal end of the
neuron to dendrite end of
another neuron.
Ans-(D)
Explanation-
In a synapse, the axon
terminal (axonal end)
of one neuron releases
neurotransmitters into
the synaptic cleft.
These chemicals then
bind to receptors on the
dendrite of the next
neuron, transmitting the
signal from one neuron
to another.

[Link](A):The brain
is also known as the
central nervous system.
Reason(R):Brain control
the voluntary function.
A)Both A and R are true
and R is the correct
explanation of A.
B)Both A and R are true
but R is not the correct
explanation of A.
C)A is true but R is false.
D)A is false but R is true.
Ans-(B)
Explanation-
The brain is a part of the
central nervous
system (CNS), along
with the spinal cord —
so Assertion is true.
The brain indeed
controls voluntary
functions (like
movement, speech, etc.)
— so Reason is also true.
But this is not the
reason why the brain is
called the central nervous
system.
It’s called CNS because it
is the main control
centre that coordinates
all body activities.

UDALGURI
[Link] connections
between the input nerve
and output nerve formed
in the spinal cord
facilitating over sudden
actions are known as-
A)nervous system
B)peripheral nervous
system
C)reflex arc
D)synapse
Ans-(C)
Explanation-
A reflex arc is the path
through which reflex
actions (like pulling your
hand away from
something hot) occur.
It connects the sensory
(input) neuron and the
motor (output) neuron
in the spinal cord,
allowing the body to
respond quickly without
involving the brain.

[Link] part of our brain

that provides us with
precision in activities like
riding a bicycle or walking
in a rope-
A)medulla
B)cerebellum
C)cerebrum
D)mid-brain
Ans-(B)
Explanation-
The cerebellum controls
balance, posture, and
coordination of
muscles.

bicycle, walking on a
rope, or dancing.

[Link] hormone
responsible for the
change in appearance
seen in boys at the time
of puberty is-
A)Oestrogen
B)Thyroxin
C)Testosterone
D)Insulin
Ans-(C)
Explanation-
During puberty, boys
show changes like a
deeper voice, facial hair
growth, and increased
muscle mass.
These changes are
caused by the male sex
hormone testosterone,
which is produced by the
testes.

[Link] hormone is
responsible for cell
division in plants?
A)auxin
B)gibberellins
C)cytokinin
D)abscisic acid
Ans-(C)
Explanation-
Cytokinin is the plant
hormone that helps cells
to divide and form new
cells.
It is mostly found in
growing regions like
shoot tips, root tips,
seeds and fruits.

[Link] of the following

glands release thyroxine
hormone?
A)thyroid gland
B)pituitary gland
C)pancrease
D)adrenal gland
Ans-(A)
Explanation-
The thyroid gland,
located in the neck,
produces thyroxine
hormone.
This hormone controls
metabolism, i.e., how
fast or slow energy is
used in the body.

[Link] part of the brain

is responsible for
maintaining the posture
and balance of the body?
A)cerebrum
B)medulla
C)cerebellum
D)hypothalamus
Ans-(C)
Explanation-
The cerebellum is the
part of the brain that
helps us maintain
balance and posture.
It also coordinates our
body movements, so
activities like walking,
cycling, standing straight,
or balancing on one leg
are controlled by it.

DHUBRI
[Link] correct order of an
electric impulse travelling
through a neuron is-
A)dendrite,cell
body,axon,axonal end
B)axon,cell
body,dendrite,axonal end
C)axon,dendrite,axonal
end,cell body
D)dendrite,axon,axonal
end,cell body
Ans-(A)
Explanation-
An electric impulse in a
neuron travels in one
direction only:
It starts from the
dendrites (which receive
the signal), passes
through the cell body,
then along the axon, and
finally reaches the
axonal end, where it is
passed to the next
neuron.
[Link] diagram represent
which movement of
plant-

A)Hydrotropism
B)Geotropism
C)Phototropism
D)Chemotropism
Ans-(B)
Explanation-
Geotropism (also
called Gravitropism) –
It is the growth of a
plant part in response
to gravity.

Roots show positive

geotropism because
they grow toward
gravity (downward).

Shoots show negative

geotropism because
they grow away from
gravity (upward).

[Link] suggested
Dhiman’s mother to take
injection of [Link]
hormone is secreted by
the gland-
A)Thyroid gland
B)Pancreas
C)Ovary
D)Testis
Ans-(B)
Explanation-
The pancreas produces
the hormone insulin,
which helps control the
level of sugar
(glucose) in the blood.
If the body doesn’t make
enough insulin, the blood
sugar level increases,
leading to diabetes, and
that’s why insulin
injections are given.

[Link](A):If the
amount of Iodine is low in
our food,there is a chance
of having goitre disease.
Reason(R):Growth
hormone helps in growth
and development of body.
A)Both A and R are true
and R is the correct
explanation of A.
B)Both A and R are true
but R is not the correct
explanation of A.
C)A is true but R is false.
D)A is false but R is true.
Ans-(B)
Explanation-
The Assertion is true
because lack of iodine
causes goitre, as iodine
is needed for making
thyroxine hormone in
the thyroid gland.
The Reason is also
true — the growth
hormone helps in body
growth.
But the reason does
not explain goitre, since
goitre is related to
thyroxine, not the
growth hormone.

NAGAON
[Link] we suddenly get
scared of a ferocious dog
barking at us,at that time
our heart rate becomes
faster,it is due to
secretion of a hormone in
our body,it is-
A)Thyroxine
B)Adrenaline
C)Testosterone
D)Glucagon
Ans-(B)
Explanation-
When we feel fear,
anger, or excitement,
the adrenal glands
release adrenaline.
This hormone prepares
our body for “fight or
flight” by increasing
heart rate, breathing
rate, and blood flow to
muscles so we can react
quickly.

sun and moves from East
to West throughout the
[Link] movement is an
example of-
A)chemotropism
B)hydrotropism
C)geotropism
D)phototropism
Ans-(D)
Explanation-
Phototropism is the
movement or growth
of a plant part in
response to light.
The sunflower turns its
head from east to west
following the direction
of sunlight during the
day — this is a clear
example of
phototropism.

[Link] image shows the

labelled structure of a
brain-

Which parts of the brain

controls the blood
pressure?
A)spinal cord, skull,
hypothalamus
B)cord, skull, cerebrum
C)pons, medulla,
cerebellum
D)pons, medulla, pituitary
gland
Ans-(C)
Explanation-
The medulla oblongata
in the brain controls
many involuntary
activities like:
 Blood pressure
 Heartbeat
 Breathing
The pons also helps in
controlling breathing,
which is related to blood
pressure regulation.
Although the cerebellum
mainly controls balance
and posture, option C is
the best match because
it includes the medulla,
which is the main centre
for controlling blood
pressure.

[Link] gap between two

neurons is called a-
A)dendrite
B)synapse
C)axon
D)impulse
Ans-(B)
Explanation-
Neurons (nerve cells) do
not touch each other.
There is a small gap
between two neurons,
and this gap is called a
synapse.
Nerve messages cross
this gap to travel from
one neuron to the next.

[Link] of the following

hormone is known as
“emergency hormone”?
A)thyroxine
B)aderenaline
C)insulin
D)estrogen
Ans-(B)
Explanation-
Adrenaline is called the
emergency hormone
because it is released
when we are in stressful
or dangerous
situations.
It prepares our body to
fight or run away
(fight-or-flight
response) by:
 Increasing heartbeat
 Increasing breathing
rate
 Supplying more
energy to muscles

Ans-(B)
Explanation-
In a reflex action, the
message travels through
a reflex arc:
1. Receptor detects
the stimulus (like
touching something
hot).
2. Sensory neuron
carries the message
to the spinal cord.
3. Spinal cord
processes it quickly.
4. Motor neuron
carries the response
signal to the muscle,
which acts
immediately.

and R is the correct
explanation of A.
B)Both A and R are true
but R is not the correct
explanation of A.
C)A is true but R is false.
D)A is false but R is true.
Ans-(A)
Explanation-
When the leaves of the
touch-me-not plant
(Mimosa pudica) are
touched, they fold or
close because they
respond to the
stimulus of touch.
This movement is called
thigmonasty (or
seismonastic
movement) — a
response to touch.
