Identify the correct statement about plant water relations: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Identify the correct statement about plant water relations:
A. Plasmolysis occurs in hypotonic solutions.
B. Water potential is higher in concentrated solutions.
C. Turgor pressure keeps plant cells rigid.
D. Osmosis is the movement of solutes.
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Turgor pressure from water in the vacuole pushes the cell membrane against the wall, maintaining rigidity. Plasmolysis occurs in hypertonic solutions; osmosis is water movement; high solute concentration lowers water potential.

Question #1
DNA fingerprinting relies on the variation in which type of DNA sequences?
A. Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs)
B. Introns
C. Mitochondrial DNA
D. Exons

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
DNA fingerprinting (DNA profiling) is a technique used to identify individuals based on their unique DNA patterns. It primarily relies on the analysis of Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) or Short Tandem Repeats (STRs), which are highly polymorphic, non-coding, repetitive DNA sequences that vary greatly in length and number between individuals.

Question #2
Consider statements about human physiology: 1. The stomach secretes acid for digestion. 2. The small intestine is the main site of absorption. 3. The liver produces bile. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The stomach's gastric glands secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl), which creates an acidic environment necessary for the activation of pepsin and the initial digestion of proteins. The small intestine, with its vast surface area provided by villi and microvilli, is the primary site for the final digestion and absorption of most nutrients into the bloodstream. The liver is a large, multifunctional organ that continuously produces bile, which is stored in the gall bladder and released into the small intestine to emulsify fats. All statements are correct.

Question #3
The protein that carries oxygen in muscles is:
A. Ferritin
B. Hemoglobin
C. Myoglobin
D. Transferrin

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Myoglobin is an oxygen-binding protein in muscle cells, containing a single heme group. It has a higher affinity for oxygen than hemoglobin, facilitating oxygen diffusion and storage in muscles. Hemoglobin is in blood, ferritin stores iron, transferrin transports iron.
