Assertion:The inner ear contains three ossicles (malleus, incus and stapes) which are attached to one another in a chain-like fashion.
Reason:The stapes is attached to the tympanic membrane and the malleus is attached to the oval window of the cochlea.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The middle ear contains three ossicles called malleus, incus and stapes which are attaced to one another in a chain-like fashion. The malleus is attaced to the tympanic membrane and the stapes is attached to the oval window of the cochlea. The car ossicles increase the efficiency of transmission of sound waves to the inner ear.

Although millions of organic compounds are known, the elements they contain are very few: C (always), H (almost), N, O a halogen, S, P (often), and sometimes another element. The great number and variety of organic compounds are a result of which of the follocwing? (i) Carbon is in group 14 of the periodic table and forms bonds with almost every other element(other than the noble gases). (ii) Carbon atoms have the ability to bond to other carbon atoms in single and multiple bonds, forming long chains, branched chains, and rings (that may also have chains attached to them) of various lengths. (iii) The existanece of different carbon compounds with identical molecular formulas called isomers. (iv) Other kinds of atoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, and sulphur may be attached to the carbon atoms by single and//or multiple bonds.

The break-down of glucose in a cell occurs in any of the following pathways : Three experiments (A, B, C) have been set up. In each experiment, a flask contains the organism in growth medium, glucose and a brown dye that changes its colour to yellow when the pH decreases. The mouth of the flask is attached to a test tube containing lime water (Calcium hydroxide , as shown in the figure) . In C, but not in A and B , air is removed from the flask before beginning the experiment. After a period of growth, the following observation were made : A : Lime water turns milky , the dye colour remains the same B : The dye colour changes , lime water does not turn milky C : Lime water turns milky , the dye colour remains the same (a) Question : Identify which of the reactions is the pathways depicted above is taking place in each experiment . Give reasons for your answer . (b) Question : Identify which of the reactions in the pathways depicted above is expected to occur in Red Blood Cells (RBCs)
