Question #1
Identify the correct statement regarding the human respiratory system:
A. Alveoli are the main sites of gas exchange.
B. The trachea is also called the voice box.
C. Pulmonary veins carry deoxygenated blood.
D. The diaphragm is made of smooth muscle.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Alveoli are thin-walled air sacs where O₂ and CO₂ exchange occurs. The voice box is the larynx; diaphragm is skeletal muscle; pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood.

Question #2
In C3 plants, the primary CO₂ acceptor is:
A. Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)
B. Malate
C. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP)
D. Oxaloacetic acid (OAA)

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In C3 plants (e.g., wheat, rice), CO₂ is fixed by the enzyme RuBisCO, which catalyzes the reaction between CO₂ and RuBP, producing two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA), a three-carbon compound. In C4 plants, the primary acceptor is PEP, leading to four-carbon OAA. C3 plants are the most common, but are less efficient in hot, dry conditions due to photorespiration.
