Consider statements about angiosperms: 1. They have enclosed seeds. 2. They exhibit double fertilization. 3. All angiosperms are trees. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Angiosperms are flowering plants where seeds are enclosed within a mature ovary (fruit). They are characterized by double fertilization, where one male gamete fuses with the egg and the other with the secondary nucleus. They exhibit immense diversity in habit, ranging from tiny aquatic Wolffia to massive trees, so not all are trees. Statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
Consider statements about human respiration: 1. Hemoglobin has a higher affinity for CO2 than O2. 2. Carbonic anhydrase is present in RBCs. 3. Most CO2 is transported as bicarbonate. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Hemoglobin has a much higher affinity for oxygen than for carbon dioxide; it binds O2 readily in the lungs. Inside RBCs, the enzyme carbonic anhydrase rapidly catalyzes the conversion of CO2 and water into carbonic acid. Approximately 70% of CO2 is transported in the blood as bicarbonate ions in the plasma. Thus, statements 2 and 3 are correct.

Question #3
The phenomenon of a plant flowering in response to the length of day is called:
A. Geotropism
B. Photoperiodism
C. Chemotropism
D. Phototropism

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Photoperiodism is the response of plants to the relative lengths of day and night, influencing flowering. Short-day plants (e.g., poinsettia) flower when day length is less than a critical period; long-day plants (e.g., spinach) flower when days are longer. Phototropism is growth towards light, geotropism to gravity, chemotropism to chemicals.
