Macromolecule chitin is

  • nitrogen containing polysaccharide

  • phosphorus containing polysaccharide

  • sulphur containing polysaccharide

  • simple polysaccharide


A.

nitrogen containing polysaccharide

Macromolecule chitin is a complex polysaccharide containing amino sugars and chemically modified sugars (e.g., glucosamine, N-acetyl galactosamine, etc). Polysaccharides are long carbohydrate molecules of monosaccharide units joined together by glycosidic bonds. They have a general formula Cx(H2O)Y.

Figure shows schematic plan of blood circulation in human with labels - A to D. Identify the label and give its function/s.

  • A - pulmonary vein - takes impure blood from body parts, pO2 = 60 mmHg

  • B - pulmonary artery - takes blood from heart to lungs, pO2 = 90 mmHg

  • C - vena cava - takes blood from body parts to right auricle, pCO2 = 45 mmHg

  • D - dorsal aorta - takes blood from heart to body parts, pO2 = 95 mmHg


A stage in cell division is shown in the figure. Select the answer which gives correct identification of the stage with its characteristics

  • Telophase - Nuclear envelope reforms, Golgi complex reforms

  • Late anaphase - Chromosomes move away from equatorial plate, Golgi complex not present

  • Cytokinesis - Cell plate formed, mitochondria distributed between two daughter cells

  • Telophase - Endoplasmic reticulum and nucleolus not reformed yet


The figure shows a diagrammatic view of human respiratory system with labels A, B, C and D. Select the option, which gives correct identification and main function and/or characteristic.

  • A - trachea - long tube supported by complete cartilaginous rings for conducting inspired air

  • B - pleural membrane-surround ribs on both sides to provide cushion against rubbing

  • C - alveoli - thin walled vascular bag-like structures for exchange of gases

  • D - lower end of lungs - diaphragm pulls it down during inspiration
