FUTO post-UTME past questions

Ten questions from our FUTO post-UTME bank, with answers and explanations.

1.
Which of the following animals lack alimentary canal?
1. A
  Cockroach
2. B
  Earthworm
3. C
  Tapeworm
  Correct
4. D
  Housefly
Show answerHide answer
Answer: C
The tapeworm is a parasite that lives in the host's intestine and has no gut of its own; it absorbs already-digested food directly through its body surface.
Earthworm, cockroach and housefly all possess a complete alimentary canal for digesting their own food.
2.The cilia in paramecium are used for
1. A
  excretion
2. B
  reproduction
3. C
  locomotion and feeding
  Correct
4. D
  respiration
Show answerHide answer
Answer: C
In Paramecium, the beating of cilia serves two vital roles at once: propelling the organism through water (locomotion) and sweeping food particles into the oral groove (feeding).
3.A cell can supply currents of 0.4A and 0.2A through a 4.0 $\omega$ and 10.0 $\omega$ resistors respectively. The internal resistance of the cell is
1. A
  0.5 Ω
2. B
  1.0 Ω
3. C
  2.0 Ω
  Correct
4. D
  4.0 Ω
Show answerHide answer
Answer: C
Equating EMF: 0.4(4+r) = 0.2(10+r) → r = 2.0 Ω.
4.A man standing between two parallel mirrors in a barber's shop will sec the following number of his own image
1. A
  Two
2. B
  Four
3. C
  Three
4. D
  Infinite
  Correct
Show answerHide answer
Answer: D
Parallel mirrors produce a theoretically infinite number of images.
5.The distance between the nuclei of chlorine atoms in a chlorine molecule is 0.194nm. The atomic radius of chlorine atom is
1. A
  0.388 nm
2. B
  0.049 nm
3. C
  0.097 nm
  Correct
4. D
  0.194 nm
Show answerHide answer
Answer: C
The internuclear distance (0.194 nm) in the Cl2 molecule equals twice the atomic radius, so the atomic radius = 0.194/2 = 0.097 nm.
6.Which of the following compounds is composed of Al, Si, O and H?
1. A
  Kaolinite (china clay)
  Correct
2. B
  Feldspar
3. C
  Quartz
4. D
  Mica
Show answerHide answer
Answer: A
Kaolinite, Al2Si2O5(OH)4, is the clay mineral composed of aluminium, silicon, oxygen and hydrogen, formed from the weathering of aluminosilicate rocks.
7.Which of the following organs is associated with deamination of proteins?
1. A
  Spleen
2. B
  Liver
  Correct
3. C
  Pancreas
4. D
  Kidney
Show answerHide answer
Answer: B
The liver carries out deamination, removing the nitrogen-containing amino group from excess amino acids and converting it to urea.
The kidney later excretes the urea produced, the pancreas makes digestive enzymes and hormones, and the spleen deals with blood cells, none of which perform deamination.
8.
An object is projected with a velocity of 80ms $^{-1}$ at an angle of 30° to the horizontal. The maximum height reached is
1. A
  40 m
2. B
  160 m
3. C
  80 m
  Correct
4. D
  240 m
Show answerHide answer
Answer: C
H = (v sinθ)²/2g = 80 m.
9.A spring is compressed through a distance of 0.05m to store 75J of energy. What is the spring constant?
1. A
  1.5 × 10³ N/m
2. B
  3.0 × 10⁴ N/m
3. C
  3.0 × 10³ N/m
4. D
  6.0 × 10⁴ N/m
  Correct
Show answerHide answer
Answer: D
k = 2E/x² = 150/0.0025 = 60,000 N/m.
10.The organelle involved in tissue respiration is the
1. A
  mitochondrion
  Correct
2. B
  ribosome
3. C
  chloroplast
4. D
  golgi body
Show answerHide answer
Answer: A
The mitochondrion is the organelle where aerobic (tissue) respiration takes place, breaking down glucose to release ATP energy. Ribosomes make proteins, and chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis, not respiration.
