The type of circulatory system in which blood is confined to vessels is called: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The type of circulatory system in which blood is confined to vessels is called:
A. Portal system
B. Closed circulatory system
C. Open circulatory system
D. Lymphatic system
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
In a closed circulatory system (e.g., humans, annelids, cephalopods), blood is always enclosed within vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries) and is distinct from interstitial fluid. Open systems (arthropods, most mollusks) have hemolymph bathing organs in sinuses. The lymphatic system returns fluid to blood. A portal system connects two capillary beds.

Question #2
Identify the correct statement about plant water relations:
A. Plasmolysis occurs in hypotonic solutions.
B. Turgor pressure keeps plant cells rigid.
C. Water potential is higher in concentrated solutions.
D. Osmosis is the movement of solutes.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Turgor pressure from water in the vacuole pushes the cell membrane against the wall, maintaining rigidity. Plasmolysis occurs in hypertonic solutions; osmosis is water movement; high solute concentration lowers water potential.
