Question #1
The type of plant that has adapted to survive in very dry environments is called:
A. Mesophyte
B. Xerophyte
C. Halophyte
D. Hydrophyte

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Xerophytes (e.g., cactus, acacia) have adaptations like thick cuticle, sunken stomata, reduced leaves, and water-storing tissues to conserve water in arid habitats. Hydrophytes live in water, mesophytes in moderate conditions, halophytes in saline soils. Xerophytes minimize transpiration and maximize water uptake.

Question #2
Consider statements about human nutrition: 1. Proteins are made of amino acids. 2. Carbohydrates are made of fatty acids. 3. Fats are made of glycerol and fatty acids. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Proteins are complex macromolecules composed of long chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Fats (triglycerides) are lipids composed of one glycerol molecule esterified to three fatty acid chains. Carbohydrates are composed of simple sugars (monosaccharides) like glucose, not fatty acids. Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct, while statement 2 is false.

Question #3
The layer of the Earth's atmosphere that contains the protective ozone layer is the:
A. Troposphere
B. Stratosphere
C. Mesosphere
D. Thermosphere

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The ozone layer is located in the lower portion of the stratosphere, about 15–35 km above Earth. It absorbs most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. Troposphere is the lowest layer, mesosphere and thermosphere above. Ozone depletion by CFCs led to the Antarctic ozone hole.
