31. The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which contains digestive enzymes namely trypsin, amylopsin and lipases. The pancreas has a group of cells called the Islets of langerhans which secrete two hormones called Insulin and glucagon for regulating glucose level in the blood. - B
32. Chitin is a protein carbohydrate compound secreted by the underlying epidermis. It is hardened with the deposition of calcium salts in Arachinda, Crustacea, Insecta - A
33. This is Hinge joint joint found at the elbow in which the trochlea of the humerus fits into the sigmoid notch found on the radius and ulna. – B
34. The radius is shorter and lies on top of the ulna forming the bonds of the lower arm. – D

Bilharziasis is contracted when a healthy person drinks or baths with fresh water contaminated with cercariae regarded as the infective stage of the worm. – D

The fish is found attached to the body of the shark. As the shark moves, it gets free transport and also feeds on the debris of the shark. The shark does not gain and is not harmed by such an association. - B
40. Moth, Grasshopper and Herbivorous bugs, feed only on plants which are the primary producers. - C
