Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| A. Molluscs | I. Pulmonary respiration only |
| B. Reptiles | II. Branchial respiration |
| C. Adult amphibians | III. Cellular respiration |
| D. Amoeba | IV. Pulmonary and Cutaneous respiration |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- Correct answerAA-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
- BA-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
- CA-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
- DA-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
Solution
Molluscs primarily use gills for respiration, which is known as branchial respiration. Thus, A matches II.
Reptiles rely exclusively on lungs for gas exchange, which is termed pulmonary respiration. Thus, B matches I.
Adult amphibians, such as frogs, can respire through both their lungs and their moist skin, utilizing pulmonary and cutaneous respiration. Thus, C matches IV.
Amoeba is a unicellular organism that exchanges gases directly across its cell membrane via simple diffusion, which corresponds to cellular respiration. Thus, D matches III.
The correct matching is A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III.
Answer: A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
