The technique of growing plants in nutrient-rich water without soil is known as:
A. Geoponics
B. Hydroponics
C. Aeroponics
D. Tissue culture

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Hydroponics is a method of growing plants in a water-based, nutrient-rich solution without soil. Aeroponics uses mist, geoponics is soil-based, tissue culture is in vitro on agar media. Hydroponics enables controlled nutrient delivery.

Question #2
The enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA is:
A. Citrate synthase
B. Lactate dehydrogenase
C. Pyruvate dehydrogenase
D. Pyruvate kinase

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) oxidatively decarboxylates pyruvate, producing acetyl-CoA, NADH, and CO₂ in the mitochondrial matrix, linking glycolysis to the Krebs cycle. Pyruvate kinase is in glycolysis, lactate dehydrogenase converts pyruvate to lactate, citrate synthase starts the Krebs cycle.
