Question #1
Which of the following is a correct statement about the circulation of blood in humans?
A. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.
B. Pulmonary artery carries oxygenated blood.
C. The left atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body.
D. Pulmonary vein carries deoxygenated blood.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs for oxygenation. The pulmonary artery is the only artery carrying deoxygenated blood. Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from lungs to the left atrium. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood, not deoxygenated. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body. Thus, C is correct.

Question #2
Consider the following statements about cell theory:
1. All living organisms are composed of cells.
2. The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life.
3. All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Which of the statements above are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1, 2, and 3
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The modern cell theory includes all three statements: (1) all organisms are made of cells, (2) the cell is the basic unit of life, and (3) cells arise from pre-existing cells (Omnis cellula e cellula). Thus, all three are correct. This theory was formulated by Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow.

Question #3
The process by which water enters the root hairs from the soil is:
A. Active transport
B. Osmosis
C. Transpiration pull
D. Diffusion

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Water moves from the soil (high water potential) into root hair cells (lower water potential due to solutes) by osmosis across the semipermeable membrane. Active transport is for minerals, transpiration pull is for upward movement.
