Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Dairy farming produces milk. 2. Poultry farming produces meat and eggs. 3. Apiculture produces silk. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Dairy farming produces milk. 2. Poultry farming produces meat and eggs. 3. Apiculture produces silk. 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)
Dairy farming is the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock (like cows, buffaloes, goats) specifically for the long-term production of milk and dairy products. Poultry farming involves the commercial rearing of domesticated birds (like chickens, ducks, turkeys) for the production of meat (broilers) and eggs (layers). Apiculture is the scientific rearing and management of honeybees (Apis species) for the production of honey, beeswax, and other hive products; silk production is the domain of sericulture. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #1
In the five-kingdom classification, which kingdom includes organisms that are eukaryotic, multicellular, and obtain nutrition by absorption?
A. Fungi
B. Protista
C. Monera
D. Plantae

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Fungi are eukaryotic, mostly multicellular (except yeast), and are heterotrophic by absorption (saprophytic or parasitic). Their cell walls contain chitin. Monera are prokaryotic, Protista are unicellular eukaryotes, Plantae are autotrophic multicellular organisms. Fungi play key roles as decomposers in ecosystems.

Question #2
In plant physiology, the 'Munch hypothesis' for the translocation of sugars in the phloem relies on the creation of a:
A. Turgor pressure gradient
B. Cohesion-tension force
C. Root pressure
D. Transpiration pull

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The Munch hypothesis, or mass flow hypothesis, explains the movement of sugars (primarily sucrose) through the phloem. It proposes that sugars are actively loaded into the phloem at the source (e.g., leaves), which lowers the water potential and causes water to enter from the xylem by osmosis. This creates a high turgor pressure. At the sink (e.g., roots, fruits), sugars are unloaded, increasing water potential, and water leaves the phloem, creating a low turgor pressure. The bulk flow of sap is driven by this turgor pressure gradient from source to sink.

Question #3
Identify the correct statement about the digestive enzymes:
A. Sucrase breaks down lactose.
B. Ptyalin is a lipase.
C. Trypsin is secreted by the pancreas.
D. Pepsinogen is active without HCl.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Trypsin is a pancreatic protease. Ptyalin is an amylase, pepsinogen requires HCl for activation, sucrase acts on sucrose, lactase on lactose.
