Question #1
Which of the following gases is mainly responsible for the greenhouse effect?
A. Nitrogen
B. Hydrogen
C. Oxygen
D. Carbon dioxide

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is the primary greenhouse gas, along with methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), water vapor, and CFCs. These trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. CO₂ levels have risen due to fossil fuel burning and deforestation. The greenhouse effect is natural and essential, but enhanced levels cause global temperature rise.

Question #2
The term 'genetically modified organism' (GMO) refers to:
A. A cloned organism
B. An organism produced by selective breeding
C. An organism whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering
D. A hybrid organism produced by cross-pollination

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
GMOs are organisms whose genetic material has been modified through recombinant DNA technology, introducing or deleting specific genes. Selective breeding and cross-pollination are traditional methods that do not directly manipulate DNA. Cloning produces genetically identical copies without necessarily altering the genome. Examples: Bt cotton, Golden rice.

Question #3
The process of uptake of liquid droplets by the cell membrane is:
A. Phagocytosis
B. Exocytosis
C. Pinocytosis
D. Osmosis

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Pinocytosis ('cell drinking') is a form of endocytosis where the cell membrane invaginates to take in a small droplet of extracellular fluid and dissolved solutes. Phagocytosis is 'cell eating' of large particles, exocytosis is secretion, osmosis is water movement across a semipermeable membrane.
