The process by which plants lose water in the form of vapour mainly through stomata is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process by which plants lose water in the form of vapour mainly through stomata is:
A. Condensation
B. Evaporation
C. Transpiration
D. Guttation
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Transpiration is the evaporative loss of water from the aerial parts of plants, primarily through stomata. It creates transpiration pull, aiding water and mineral transport. Guttation is loss of liquid water droplets from hydathodes. Evaporation is a physical process from any surface. Condensation is change from vapour to liquid. Transpiration also cools the plant.

Question #3
Consider statements about human immunity: 1. Innate immunity is non-specific. 2. Acquired immunity is specific. 3. Secondary immune response is weaker than primary. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Innate immunity is the non-specific, inborn defense mechanism present from birth, providing immediate but general protection against pathogens. Acquired (adaptive) immunity is highly specific, targeting particular antigens and developing memory. The secondary immune response, occurring upon re-exposure to the same antigen, is much faster, stronger, and more prolonged than the primary response due to the presence of memory cells. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
