Which of the following is an example of an insectivorous plant?
A. Cuscuta
B. Rhizobium
C. Drosera
D. Monotropa
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Drosera (sundew) is an insectivorous plant that captures insects with sticky tentacles on leaves to supplement nitrogen in nutrient-poor soils. Cuscuta is a parasitic plant, Monotropa is saprophytic, Rhizobium is a bacterium, not a plant. Insectivorous plants include pitcher plant (Nepenthes), Venus flytrap, and bladderwort. They are autotrophic but supplement nitrogen.

Question #1
The phenomenon of bending of plant shoot towards a unilateral light source is due to:
A. Differential distribution of auxin, with higher concentration on shaded side
B. Photolysis of chlorophyll
C. Inhibition of growth by light
D. Uniform distribution of auxin

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Phototropism (positive in shoots) is caused by the migration of auxin to the shaded side of the shoot, promoting cell elongation more on that side, causing the shoot to bend towards light. This asymmetric auxin distribution was demonstrated by Went's experiments. Auxin is sensitive to light and moves laterally. This is a growth response to directional light.

The endoskeleton of the human body is composed mainly of:
A. Bone and cartilage
B. Chitin
C. Cartilage only
D. Keratin

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The human endoskeleton consists of 206 bones and cartilage at joints and in structures like the nose, ears, and intervertebral discs. Bone is mineralized connective tissue, cartilage is a specialized connective tissue. Chitin is found in arthropod exoskeleton and fungal walls, keratin is a protein in skin, hair, nails. The skeleton provides support, protection, and movement.
