- Question
Which of these is not a function of the kidneys?
Options- A. The kidneys regulate the plasma volume
- B. The kidneys help to regulate blood pressure
- C. The kidneys help control the rate of red blood cell production
- D. The kidneys deactivate vitamin D and stimulate the activity of osteoclasts
- Correct Answer
- The kidneys deactivate vitamin D and stimulate the activity of osteoclasts
ExplanationThe kidneys deactivate vitamin D and stimulate the activity of osteoclasts is wrong among the functions of kidneys.
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs in the renal system. They help the body pass waste as urine. They also help filter blood before sending it back to the heart.
The kidneys perform many crucial functions, including:
- maintaining overall fluid balance.
- regulating and filtering minerals from the blood.
- filtering waste materials from food, medications, and toxic substances.
- creating hormones that help produce red blood cells, promote bone health, and regulate blood pressure.

Correct Answer: Meiosis
Explanation:
Synapsis is the pairing of two homologous chromosomes that occurs during meiosis. It allows matching-up of homologous pairs prior to their segregation, and possible chromosomal crossover between them.
Synapsis takes place during prophase I of meiosis.
It is also called as Syndesis.
Correct Answer: Nervous tissue
Correct Answer: Aristotle
Correct Answer: Mitochondria
Explanation:
Mitochondria are known as 'Power House' of the cell because they produce energy in the form of ATP.
Correct Answer: 120 decibles
Explanation:
High frequency sound attacks the tympanic memberane and makes it defective. 120 decibles is too high a pitch to be heard and therefore it impairs the hearing ability.
Correct Answer: Yes
Explanation:
Yes, plant cells have Mitochondria.
While plant cells have chloroplasts to photosynthesize, they also require ATP for cellular functions, and do use oxygen to break down some of the sugar they produce in order to generate that ATP. They need mitochondria for this.
In particular, at night when there is no light, plants undergo cellular respiration since there is no sunlight to photosynthesize.
They do, however, produce far more sugar and oxygen through photosynthesis than they use up in respiration.
Correct Answer: Nucleotides
Explanation:
The building blocks of the nucleic acids are "Nucleotides".
Each nucleotide are composed of three parts. They are ::
1.Pentose sugar
2.Nitrogenous bases
3.Phosphoric acid.
Correct Answer: Ribose
Explanation:
RNA - ribonucleic acid is a type of nucleic acid. The sugar contained in it is called Ribose.
Correct Answer: their walls are only one cell thick
Explanation:
Capillaries Tiny blood vessels connecting arteries to veins. These blood vessels carry oxygen
and nutrients to individual cells. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body, and have
walls only one or two cells thick. (Their diameter is 5 to 10 micrometers, or 5 to 10 millionths of
a meter.)
Capillaries connect arterioles and venules, which are the smaller extensions of the larger arteries and veins.
Correct Answer: Chloroplast
Explanation:
Chloroplasts use energy from light to transform carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.
A green pigment located in membranes within the chloroplasts of plants and algae and in the membranes of certain prokaryotes.
