CAT Question of the Day
The upper shell of the turtle is called the carapace. The lower shell that encases the belly is called the plastron. The carapace and plastron are joined together on the turtle's sides by bony structures called bridges. The inner layer of a turtle's shell is made up of about 60 bones that include portions of the backbone and the ribs, meaning the turtle cannot crawl out of its shell. In most turtles, the outer layer of the shell is covered by horny scales called scutes that are part of its outer skin, or epidermis. Scutes are made up of a fibrous protein called keratin that also makes up the scales of other reptiles. These scutes overlap the seams between the shell bones and add strength to the shell. Some turtles do not have horny scutes. For example, the leatherback sea turtle and the soft-shelled turtles have shells covered with leathery skin instead.

Which of the following isn't true as per the passage?

OPTIONS
 
 1)A turtle will never be able to leave its shell behind.
 2)All reptiles have keratin in their bodies.
 3)Not all turtles have horny scutes.
 4)The turtle is encased by a shell on both upper and lower sides of its body.
 5)The soft-shell sea turtle is so named because its shell isn't hard enough to be protective. 
Tip of the Day
In a time-speed-distance question, the average speed of a body is given by the arithmetic mean of the speeds when the time is constant and is given by the harmonic mean of the speeds when the distance is constant.
