The first heart sound 'lub' is produced by the closure of: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The first heart sound 'lub' is produced by the closure of:
A. Semilunar valves
B. Pulmonary valve only
C. Both AV and semilunar valves
D. Atrioventricular (AV) valves
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The 'lub' sound occurs at the beginning of ventricular systole when the atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid) close to prevent backflow of blood into the atria. The 'dub' sound occurs at the beginning of diastole due to closure of the semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary). Valve closure is passive, resulting from pressure gradients.

Question #1
In the C4 photosynthetic pathway, the primary CO2 acceptor is:
A. Oxaloacetate (OAA)
B. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP)
C. Malate
D. Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In C4 plants, the initial fixation of CO2 occurs in the mesophyll cells. The primary CO2 acceptor is a 3-carbon compound, phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). The enzyme PEP carboxylase catalyzes the reaction, forming a 4-carbon compound, oxaloacetate (OAA). In C3 plants, the primary acceptor is RuBP, a 5-carbon compound, and the enzyme is RuBisCO.

Question #2
The tissue that forms the outer protective covering of the plant body is:
A. Vascular tissue
B. Dermal tissue
C. Ground tissue
D. Meristematic tissue

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Dermal tissue (epidermis in primary growth, periderm in secondary growth) forms the outermost protective layer of leaves, stems, and roots. It includes specialized cells like guard cells and root hairs. Vascular tissue (xylem, phloem) conducts, ground tissue fills and stores, meristematic is for growth.
