I: | Each kidney of an adult human measures 10-12 cm in length, 5-7 cm in width and 2-3 cm in thickness. |
II: | The DCTs of many nephrons open into a straight tube called collecting duct. |
III: | Each nephron has two parts – the glomerulus and the renal tubule. |
IV: | The renal tubule begins with the proximal convoluted tubule. |
1. | Only I and II | 2. | Only I, II and III |
3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II, III and IV |
1. | The descending limb of loop of Henle is permeable to water but almost impermeable to electrolytes. |
2. | The ascending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water but allows transport of electrolytes actively or passively. |
3. | DCT is capable of reabsorption of bicarbonate ions and selective secretion of hydrogen and potassium ions and ammonia to maintain the pH and electrolyte balance in the body. |
4. | PCT does not play any role in reabsorption of bicarbonate ions and selective secretion of hydrogen and ammonia to maintain the pH and electrolyte balance in the body. |
Collecting duct does not:
I: | allow reabsorption of large amount of water during concentration of urine. |
II: | allow passage of small amounts of urea into medullary interstitium to keep up the osmolarity. |
III: | play a role in the maintenance of pH and ionic balance of blood by the selective secretion of H+ and K+ ions. |
1. | Only I and II | 2. | Only III |
3. | Only II | 4. | I, II and III are incorrect |
1. | 1200, 300 | 2. | 300, 1200 |
3. | 300, 600 | 4. | 600, 300 |
During hemodialysis:
I: | Cellophane tube in a dialysing unit acts as artificial kidney. |
II: | Heparin is added to the blood before it is passed on to the dialysing unit. |
III: | The cleared blood is pumped back to the body through a vein after adding anti-heparin to it. |
1. Only I is correct
2. Only I and II are correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. I, II and III are correct
The principal nitrogenous excretory compound in humans is synthesised
1. in kidneys but eliminated mostly through liver
2. in kidneys as well as eliminated by kidneys
3. in liver and also eliminated by the same through bile
4. in the liver, but eliminated mostly through kidneys
I: | Allows passage of small amounts of urea into the medullary interstitium |
II: | Large amounts of water could be reabsorbed from this part to produce a concentrated urine. |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
Potassium ions:
I: | are filtered at the glomerulus |
II: | are reabsorbed at the PCT |
III: | are secreted at DCT |
1. | I & II only | 2. | I & III only |
3. | II & III only | 4. | I, II & III |
Assertion (A): | Terrestrial adaptation in animals necessitated the production of lesser toxic nitrogenous metabolic wastes. |
Reason (R): | Terrestrial animals must conserve water. |
1. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
3. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
