Question 93

Which of these is a medium of transportation in plants?
Show explanation Expand Question
Cell sap, found in the vacuoles, acts as a medium for transporting substances like nutrients and ions within plant cells. Nucleus, mitochondrion, and ribosome have other specialized functions.

The experiment is set up to determine the presence of
Show explanation Expand Question
The experiment is designed to test for starch in leaves, which indicates photosynthesis has occurred. The leaf is boiled in water, then alcohol is used to remove chlorophyll, followed by iodine solution which turns blue-black in the presence of starch.

Question 96

The type of circulatory system found in arthropods and some molluscs is
Show explanation Expand Question
Arthropods and some molluscs have an open circulatory system, where blood is not entirely contained within vessels but flows into body cavities to directly bathe organs. Closed circulatory systems, single, and double circulation are found in other animal groups.

Question 97

In plants, the main excretory product produced during metabolism is
Show explanation Expand Question
Carbon dioxide (COβ‚‚) is the main excretory product of plant metabolism, produced during cellular respiration. Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis, alkaloids are secondary metabolites, and mucilage has structural and water-retention roles.

Question 98


Use the diagram above to answer the questions that follow
The part labelled I is
Show explanation Expand Question

The oviduct, also known as the fallopian tube, is a muscular, J-shaped passage that transports eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. Fertilization usually takes place within this tube. Each side of the uterus has one oviduct, playing a crucial role in the female reproductive system.

The placenta is a temporary organ that develops inside the uterus during pregnancy. It connects to the baby through the umbilical cord, which delivers essential nutrients and oxygen, supporting the growth and development of the fetus.

Question 99

Comparative anatomy to study evidence for evolution depends on
Show explanation Expand Question
Comparative anatomy often examines the pentadactyl (five-fingered) limb structure in vertebrates. Similarity in this structure across species provides evidence of common ancestry and evolutionary relationships.

Question 100

Iron is an essential nutrient in plants because it
Show explanation Expand Question
Iron is essential for plants as it is a key component in chlorophyll synthesis and is involved in various enzyme functions related to protein production. Lack of iron leads to chlorosis and poor growth.
