Question #1
Which plant tissue is responsible for the transport of organic nutrients?
A. Sclerenchyma
B. Phloem
C. Xylem
D. Collenchyma

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Phloem transports organic solutes (mainly sucrose) from source (leaves) to sink (roots, fruits) in a process called translocation, using sieve tubes and companion cells. Xylem transports water and minerals from roots upwards. Collenchyma and sclerenchyma are mechanical tissues providing support. Phloem is alive at maturity, while xylem vessels are dead. Companion cells regulate sieve tube activity.

Question #3
Consider statements about human diseases: 1. Dengue is caused by a protozoan. 2. Filariasis is caused by a nematode worm. 3. Pneumonia affects the respiratory system. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Dengue is a viral disease caused by the Dengue virus, not a protozoan (malaria is caused by a protozoan). Filariasis (elephantiasis) is caused by parasitic nematode worms like Wuchereria bancrofti, which block lymphatic vessels. Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, affecting the respiratory system. Thus, statements 2 and 3 are correct.
