16. The BOD test measures the rate of uptake of oxygen by micro-organisms in a sample of water and thus, indirectly, BOD is a measure of the organic matter present in the water.

17. Tears from eyes are secreted by lacrimal glandular cell.

18. In males the side effects of the use of anabolic steroids includes potential for kidney and liver dysfunction.

19. Mosquitoes does not belong to the order Diptera.

20. Growing microbes actively consume a major part of the organic matter in the effluent.

21. Tears from eyes are the physiological barrier which prevents the proliferation of invaded pathogens.

22. Dragonflies belong to the order Coleoptera.

23. As the BOD of sewage increases, so does its potential for pollution, correlating directly with the elevated levels of organic matter decomposition.

24. The biocontrol measures help us to avoid heavy use of toxic pesticides for controlling pests.

25. Ringworms are mostly acquired from soil or by using towels of infected individuals.

26. The common approaches for treatment of cancer are surgery, radiation therapy and immunotherapy.

27. Aphids are preyed upon by dragonflies.

28. Various chemotherapeutic drugs are used to eliminate neoplastic cells.

29. Acid in the stomach is the cytokine barrier which prevents the proliferation of invaded pathogens.

30. Morphine induces the sleep.

31. Many fungi belonging to the genera Microsporum and Trichophyton are responsible for ringworms which is one of the most common infectious diseases in man.

33. HCl is secreted by oxyntic cells.

34. Sports persons (mis)use narcotic analgesics, anabolic steroids, diuretics, and certain hormones in sports to increase muscle strength and bulk and to promote aggressiveness and as a result increase athletic performance.

35. Heat and moisture help these fungi to grow, which makes them thrive in skin folds such as those in the groin or between the toes.

36. Antibodies are not secreted by virus-infected cells, so they cannot protect neighbouring uninfected cells from viral infection.

37. Virus-infected cells secrete lipoproteins called antibodies which protect non-infected cells from further viral infection.
