Vaccination provides which type of immunity? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Vaccination provides which type of immunity?
A. Natural active immunity
B. Artificial active immunity
C. Artificial passive immunity
D. Natural passive immunity
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Vaccination involves the introduction of a weakened, killed, or partial pathogen (antigen) into the body. This stimulates the immune system to produce its own antibodies and memory cells without causing the disease. Since the body actively produces the immune response due to an artificial stimulus, it is called artificial active immunity.

Question #1
The vascular bundles in monocot stems are:
A. Arranged in a ring
B. Radial
C. Scattered and closed
D. Open and collateral

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Monocot stems have numerous vascular bundles scattered in the ground tissue. They are closed (lack cambium), collateral, and hence do not undergo secondary growth. Dicot stems have vascular bundles arranged in a ring, open (with cambium) allowing secondary growth. Radial vascular bundles are characteristic of roots. Scattered bundles are a key identifying feature of monocots.

The plant cell wall is primarily composed of which of the following?
A. Silica and Calcium
B. Cellulose, Hemicellulose, and Pectin
C. Proteins and Lipids
D. Chitin and Peptidoglycan

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The plant cell wall is primarily made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins, and proteins. Cellulose provides the main structural framework, while hemicellulose and pectins help in cross-linking and providing flexibility. Chitin is found in fungal cell walls, and peptidoglycan is found in bacterial cell walls.
