The term for the death of tissue due to lack of blood supply is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The term for the death of tissue due to lack of blood supply is:
A. Apoptosis
B. Hypertrophy
C. Necrosis
D. Atrophy
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Necrosis is the premature death of cells or tissue due to injury, ischemia, or infection, often causing inflammation. Atrophy is shrinkage, hypertrophy growth, apoptosis programmed cell death. Infarction leads to coagulative necrosis.

Question #1
The organism that is an example of a producer in a pond ecosystem is:
A. Algae
B. Frog
C. Water beetle
D. Fish

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Algae and aquatic plants are primary producers in pond ecosystems, converting solar energy into biomass through photosynthesis. Fish and frogs are consumers, water beetles are also consumers. Producers form the base of the food web.

Question #2
Which of the following is an advantage of seed dispersal?
A. Competition between offspring
B. Reduces genetic diversity
C. Avoids overcrowding and competition with parent plant
D. Increases soil erosion

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Seed dispersal spreads seeds away from the parent plant, reducing competition for light, water, nutrients, and space. It also aids in colonization of new habitats and increases species distribution. Dispersal agents include wind, water, animals, and explosive mechanisms. Overcrowding would lead to resource limitation. Genetic diversity is promoted by cross-pollination, not directly by dispersal.

Question #3
Consider statements about microorganisms: 1. Bacteria are prokaryotes. 2. Fungi are eukaryotes. 3. Viruses have a cellular structure. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotic organisms, characterized by the absence of a true, membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms, possessing a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, and can be unicellular (yeasts) or multicellular (molds, mushrooms). Viruses are acellular, non-cellular entities; they consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat (capsid) and lack any cellular structure or independent metabolic machinery. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
