For question numbers 1-10 two statements are given - one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled
Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (A), (B), (C) and (D) as given
below:
(A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion
(A).
(B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the
Assertion (A).
(C) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
(D) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
1. Assertion (A): Diffusion is insufficient to meet the oxygen requirements of multicellular organisms.
Reason (R): In multicellular organisms, all the body cells are not in direct contact with the surrounding
environment.
2. Assertion (A): Amphibians can tolerate mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
Reason (R): Amphibians are animals with two chambered heart
3. Assertion (A): If grassland is destroyed then there will be a decline in the rabbit population.
Reason (R): Survival of heterotrophs is directly or indirectly dependent on the autotrophs.
4. Assertion (A): Stomatal pore is closed when guard cells are turgid.
Reason (R): Guard cells swell when water flows into them.
5. Assertion (A): The rate of breathing in aquatic organisms is much faster than in terrestrial organisms.
Reason (R): Amount of dissolved oxygen in water is high compared to the amount of oxygen in the air.
6. Assertion (A): Plants excrete gaseous waste products through stomata.
Reason (R): There is no specialized excretory system in plants.
7. Assertion (A): Gibberellins promote stem elongation in plants.
Reason (B): Gibberellins stimulate cell division and cell elongation in the stem, resulting in increased
plant height.
8. Assertion (A): Insulin is a hormone that helps to regulate blood sugar levels in the body.
Reason (R): Insulin promotes the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells for energy
production.

9. Assertion (A): Adrenaline is a hormone released by the adrenal glands in response to stress or danger.
Reason (R): Adrenaline increases heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration, preparing the body for the
"fight or flight" response.
10. Assertion (A): Nose is able to detect smell whereas tongue is able to detect taste.
Reason (R): This is due to the presence of olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity and gustatory receptors
on the tongue.
