Consider statements about plant biology: 1. The stigma is the receptive part of the carpel. 2. The anther is the pollen-producing part of the stamen. 3. The ovary develops into the seed after fertilization. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about plant biology: 1. The stigma is the receptive part of the carpel. 2. The anther is the pollen-producing part of the stamen. 3. The ovary develops into the seed after fertilization. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 2 only
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The carpel is the female reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of the ovary, style, and stigma; the stigma is the terminal, sticky receptive surface where pollen grains land and germinate. The stamen is the male reproductive organ, consisting of the filament and the anther; the anther is the terminal sac where pollen grains (male gametophytes) are produced. After fertilization, the ovule develops into the seed, while the ovary wall matures and develops into the fruit. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #1
The process by which plants release oxygen is:
A. Photosynthesis
B. Nitrogen fixation
C. Transpiration
D. Respiration

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
During photosynthesis, water is split (photolysis), releasing oxygen as a byproduct. Respiration consumes oxygen, nitrogen fixation uses nitrogenase, transpiration releases water vapor.

Question #2
The plant cell wall is mainly composed of:
A. Chitin
B. Cellulose
C. Lignin
D. Peptidoglycan

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The primary cell wall of plants consists of cellulose microfibrils embedded in a matrix of hemicellulose and pectin. Secondary walls may contain lignin.

Question #3
The amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal expiration is the:
A. Expiratory reserve volume
B. Residual volume
C. Tidal volume
D. Inspiratory reserve volume

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) is the additional air exhaled forcibly after normal exhalation (~1,000–1,200 mL). Tidal volume is normal breath, inspiratory reserve is extra inhaled after normal inhalation, residual volume is air left after maximal exhalation. These are components of lung volumes and capacities.
