Identify the INCORRECT statement about the respiratory system:
A. Surfactant reduces surface tension in alveoli.
B. The trachea is lined with ciliated epithelium.
C. The right lung has two lobes.
D. The diaphragm is the primary muscle of inspiration.
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The right lung has three lobes, the left has two (to accommodate the heart). So C is incorrect.

Question #1
In plant physiology, the 'Osmotic pressure' is the pressure that must be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of water across a semipermeable membrane. It is directly proportional to the:
A. Temperature only
B. Volume of the solution
C. Size of the solute molecules
D. Concentration of solute particles

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Osmotic pressure (OP) is a colligative property of a solution, meaning it depends on the number of solute particles dissolved in a given volume of solvent, not on the nature or size of the particles. It is defined as the hydrostatic pressure that must be applied to a solution to prevent the net flow of water (osmosis) into the solution across a semipermeable membrane. According to the van't Hoff equation, osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the molar concentration of solute particles and the absolute temperature. The more concentrated the solution, the higher its osmotic pressure.
