Question Discussion & Solution

The Correct Answer is Option (2) i.e Pancreas.

Key Points

• In humans, the kidney is one of the main organs of the excretory system.
• The kidney's function is the filtration of the blood and removing waste(toxic) products.
• Waste products and excess fluid are removed through the urine.
• If the kidney fails person needs to undergo dialysis.
• Dialysis is a treatment that filters and purifies the blood using a machine
• The human excretory system includes certain organs that eliminate the wastes such as salts, carbon dioxide, urea, uric acid and water produced by the body.
• The path of the urine in the human excretory system is -
• After filtering from the kidney → The urine through Ureter → Stored in the Urinary bladder → Exits through the urethra.

Important Points

• The Pancreas is an organ located in the abdomen. It is not a part of the human excretory system.
• The Pancreas plays an important role in converting the food we eat into fuel for the body's cell.
• It helps in the process of digestion. It also regulates blood sugar.
• The body system that removes metabolic wastes from the body is known as the 'Excretory System'.

• calloc()
• free()
• realloc()

The correct answer is option 2 i.e C₄H_10.

Concept:

Hydrocarbons

• Compounds made of carbon and hydrogen atoms only are called hydrocarbons.
• Saturated hydrocarbons:
  • The hydrocarbons in which carbon atoms are singly bonded are called saturated hydrocarbons.
  • Saturated hydrocarbons are also called alkanes or paraffin.
    • The general formula of alkane– CnH2n+2.
• Unsaturated hydrocarbons:
  • The hydrocarbons in which carbon atoms are either doubly or triply bonded are called unsaturated hydrocarbons.
  • Doubly bonded (carbon atoms) hydrocarbons are called alkenes.
  • The general formula of alkene is CnH2n.

• The formula for alkane should be mentioned C_nH_2n+2

Explanation:

The correct answer is Only I.

Key Points

• In asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved and sex cells are not involved. 
• It is observed in both multicellular and unicellular organisms.
• Types of asexual reproduction are:
  • Binary Fission
  • Budding
  • Fragmentation
  • Vegetative Propagation
  • Sporogenesis
• Spore formation comes under sporogenesis. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
• Spore formation is a kind of reproduction process in plants by produces tiny spores and propagates through them.
• Spore Formation is a method of asexual reproduction. 
• Spore formation can be seen in the bread mould / Rhizopus.
• The airborne spores land on bread under favourable conditions and they germinate and produce new bread mould plants.
• Each spore is covered with a protective coat to withstand unfavourable conditions.
• Plants like ferns, mucor, and mosses are also reproduced through spore formation
• Spores are present in a sac called sporangia.
• Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.

Additional Information

• Pollination is a method of Sexual Reproduction.
• Self-pollination:
  • The transfer of pollen grains from another to the stigma of the same flower is called self-pollination.
• ​Cross-pollination:
  • The transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower is called cross-pollination.
• Vegetative propagation:
  • It is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant wherein a new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant.
