The main tissue in the stomach responsible for secretion of gastric juice is:
- Epithelial
- Nervous
- Muscular
- Connective
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A. Epithelial
Epithelial tissue lining the stomach forms gastric glands that secrete gastric juice.

Which organelle is considered as protein factory of cell?
- Mitochondria
- Nucleus
- Ribosome
- Lysosome
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C. Ribosome
Ribosomes synthesise proteins by translating mRNA, earning the name 'protein factory'.

If a plant cell is placed in hypotonic solution, what would happen?
- Cell becomes turgid
- Cell becomes flaccid
- Cell will rupture
- There is no effect on cell
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A. Cell becomes turgid
Water enters by osmosis in a hypotonic solution; the rigid cell wall prevents bursting, so the cell becomes turgid.

All of these are components of cell membrane EXCEPT:
- Lipid
- Protein
- DNA
- Carbohydrates
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C. DNA
The cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins and some carbohydrates; DNA is not a membrane component.

Maheen has learned that the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves work together. She combined all parts to form:
- A cell
- A tissue
- An organ
- An organ system
Show answer and explanation
Answer: D. An organ system
Different organs (brain, spinal cord, nerves) working together form an organ system — the nervous system.

Resolution of Electron Microscope can be upto:
- 0.2 µm
- 0.2 cm
- 0.2 nm
- 0.2 mm
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C. 0.2 nm
Electron microscopes resolve structures as small as about 0.2 nm, far better than light microscopes.

Name any three basic types of tissues found in the human stomach with their functions.
Show model answer
(1) Epithelial tissue — lines the stomach wall and secretes gastric juice/mucus. (2) Muscular tissue — forms three layers in the stomach wall that contract to churn and mix food with gastric juice. (3) Connective tissue — provides structural support and holds the layers of the stomach wall together, and carries blood vessels/nerves.

Compare Prokaryotic cell with eukaryotic cell. (any three points)
Show model answer
(1) A prokaryotic cell has no true (membrane-bound) nucleus (DNA lies free in the cytoplasm/nucleoid), while a eukaryotic cell has a true nucleus enclosed by a nuclear envelope. (2) Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles (mitochondria, ER, Golgi), while eukaryotic cells possess them. (3) Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller (1–10 µm) than eukaryotic cells (10–100 µm).
