Correct answer: Artificial passive immunity
  • A. Symplast
  • B. Apoplast
  • C. Vascular
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Inside a plant, the apoplast is the space outside the plasma membrane within which material can diffuse freely.

Correct answer: Apoplast
  • A. Osmosis
  • B. Effusion
  • C. Affusion
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Diffusion is the movement of gases from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.resulting in the gradual mixing of…

Correct answer: Effusion
  • A. Phospholipid bilayer
  • B. Channel proteins
  • C. Both A and B
  • D. None of the above

Explanation: Ions are unable to move through the phospholipid bilayer because the nonpolar tail regions of the phospholipids are hydrophobic.

Correct answer: Phospholipid bilayer
  • A. Increases.
  • B. None
  • C. Remains constant
  • D. Decreases

Explanation: As the pH of the blood declines, the amount of oxygen bound to haemoglobin also declines.

Correct answer: Decreases
  • A. None of these
  • B. Decreases
  • C. Increases
  • D. Remains constant

Explanation: Due to high metabolic activity at the tissue level, there is an accumulation of CO2.

Correct answer: Decreases
  • A. Lymphatic system
  • B. Blood circulatory system
  • C. Nervous system
  • D. Defense system

Explanation: Tonsils are small, round masses of tissue that are located at the back of the throat.

Correct answer: Lymphatic system
  • A. Lenticles
  • B. Stomata
  • C. Hydathodes
  • D. Cuticle

Explanation: A hydathode is a type of specialized pore that can secrete excess water via guttation.

Correct answer: Hydathodes
  • A. Stomata
  • B. Hydathodes
  • C. Lenticels
  • D. Cuticle

Explanation: A lenticel is a raised pore in the stem of a woody plant that allows gas exchange between the atmosphere and the internal tissues.

Correct answer: Lenticels
  • A. Zero
  • B. One
  • C. Infinity
  • D. Negative

Explanation: The water potential of pure water is defined as having a value of zero.

Correct answer: Zero
  • A. Stomata
  • B. Hydathodes
  • C. Lenticels
  • D. Cuticles

Explanation: Stomata are specialized openings in the leaves that facilitate gas exchange in plants.

Correct answer: Stomata
  • A. Respiration
  • B. Guttation
  • C. Vaporization
  • D. Transportation

Explanation: Guttation or exudation is when excess water has to be forced out of the pores in plants; a hydathode is one such pore.

Correct answer: Guttation
