Number 35. The plant hormone responsible for fruit ripening is (A) abscissic acid. (B) auxin . (C) cytokinin . (D) ethylene. (E) gibberellin . . Answer.
E N D
Number 35 The plant hormone responsible for fruit ripening is (A) abscissic acid. (B) auxin. (C) cytokinin. (D) ethylene. (E) gibberellin. www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Answer • The correct answer is (D). Ethylene promotes the ripening of fruit and the production of flowers. Auxins promote the elongation of certain cells and helps in the growth of the plant, mainly in the tips of shoots and roots. Gibberellins promote cell growth and fruit development—not ripening—and seed development. Cytokinins stimulate cell division. Abscissic acid delays seed germination and bud development. www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Number 36 In flowering plants, sperm are produced by the ______. (A) ovary. (B) anther. (C) microsporangium. (D) sporophyte. (E) generative nucleus. www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Answer The correct answer is (B). The anther is associated with the production of sperm in flowering plants, but, more specifically, the structure more closely identified with sperm production in the anther is the generative nucleus. Sporophyterefers to dominant generation among the plant kingdom species and involves the entire organism. All other parts are associated with the female structures. The ovary is where the egg is produced and fertilized and will become the embryo; the megasporangium produces the mother spore cell in tracheophytes that leads to the production of the four haploid cells, one of which will become the egg; and the stigma is the place where pollen grains fall and ultimately grow a pollen tube to the ovary. It is supported by the stigma; both are female reproductive structures. www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Number 37 Which of the following is not a type of plant stem? (A) corm (B) node (C) rhizome (D) tendril (E) tuber www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Answer 37 • The correct answer is (B). A node is a site on the stem where leaves attach—and unattach—at the end of the growing season. They are not, therefore, an example of a stem. Of the other items in the question, all of which are a type of stem, tendrils assist climbing plants as attachment points and tubers; rhizomes and corms are all examples of underground stems. Tubers store large amounts of starch, as in the potato; rhizomes are found in ferns and are involved in vegetative propagation; and corms are specialized leaves that can store food. www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com

Number 40 Which of the following plant structures develops into a seed? A. ovary C. ovule B. anther D. stigma www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Number 41 Which of the following statements most accurately describes the process of double fertilization in angiosperms? • Two pollen grains land on each stigma; thus, two ovules are fertilized. • Two sperm cells produced by a single pollen grain fertilize two separate ovules, resulting in the formation of two seeds. • One sperm cell from a single pollen grain fertilizes an egg cell to form a diploid zygote, while a second sperm cell from the same pollen grain combines with two fused nuclei in the embryo sac, resulting in the formation of a triploid endosperm nucleus. • One sperm cell from a single pollen grain fertilizes an egg cell to form a haploid zygote, while a second sperm cell from the same pollen grain combines with a single nucleus in the embryo sac, resulting in the formation of a diploid endosperm nucleus. • Two sperm cells from a single pollen grain fertilize the same egg cell to double the chance that fertilization will be successful www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Answer The correct answer is (C). When a pollen grain lands on the stigma of a compatible flower, it germinates to form a pollen tube that grows down through the style until it reaches the ovary. Two (haploid) sperm cells travel down the pollen tube and enter the ovule through an opening called the micropyle. One sperm cell fuses with the (haploid) egg cell to form a diploid zygote that divides mitotically and grows into the embryo. The other sperm cell fuses with the central cell of the embryo sac. The central cell is formed by the fusion of two haploid nuclei and is, therefore, diploid. Fusion of a sperm cell with the central cell results in the formation of a triploid cell, referred to as the endosperm nucleus, that divides mitotically to form triploid endosperm tissue, which serves as a nutritive source for the developing embryo. www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com

Number 49 The human skin contains all of the following receptors EXCEPT • pain receptors • pressure receptors • thermoreceptors • chemoreceptors • touch receptors www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Answer • The correct answer is (D). Humans have chemoreceptors in their noses and mouths. www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Number 50 Which of the following is the specialized absorptive structure in the intestine? (A) alveoli (B) villi • Bowman’s capsule • salivary glands (E) pyloric sphincter www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Answer • The correct answer is (B). The alveoli are structures that allow the passage, not absorption, of carbon dioxide and oxygen into the lungs. Bowman’s capsule is where the filtration of the bloodoccurs in the nephrons of the kidney. Salivary glands produce amylase that helps begin the breakdown of carbohydrates in the mouth, and the pyloric sphincter is the valve-like structure at the end of the stomach that allows the passage of chyme. The villi are specialized, finger-shaped structures in the lower intestine that are designed for absorption of digested nutrients. www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Number 51 Which is the CORRECT sequence for human circulation? (A) heart—vein—capillary—artery—heart (B) heart—artery—lung—vein—body systems—heart (C) heart—artery—lungs—vein—heart—body systems (D) body system—lungs—heart—vein—capillary—artery (E) heart—artery—lungs—body systems—vein—heart www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Answer • The correct answer is (C). While presented with a veritable hodgepodge of choices here—which just may occur on the exam—the only one that makes sense is choice (C), where the blood leaves the heart through an artery—Arteries Away—to the lungs, back to the heart through a vein, and from the heart, out to the body systems. Choice (A) looks good on the surface, except a vein is leaving the heart, not an artery. In choice (B), once the blood goes to the lungs, it goes right to the body systems, which erroneously bypasses the heart. Choice (D) also bypasses the heart as the blood returns from the body systems, and choice (E), like choice (B), bypasses the heart. www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Number 52 The skeletal system does all of the following EXCEPT ______. (A) support. (B) transport. (C) protect. (D) digest. (E) store. www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Answer • The correct answer is (D). The skeletal system does not digest anything for the body. It stores minerals, such as calcium and phosphorous; it supports the body mass and also helps with transport of the body in concert with the muscles; and its cells reproduce and make more bone cells. www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Number 53 The endocrine glands _________. (A) secrete vitamins. (B) cease functioning after adolescence. (C) begin functioning in adolescence. (D) have ducts. (E) have no ducts. www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Answer • The correct answer is (E). It is important to define endocrine glands as ductless—they offer a separate delivery system from gland to target area. The endocrine glands use the “ducts” of the circulatory system, also known as blood vessels. The exocrine glands, such as the salivary glands and the pancreas, have ducts. The endocrine glands begin functioning at parturition and continue to function throughout life. Finally, endocrine glands do not secrete vitamins. www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Number 54 Which of the following enzymes acts on protein? (A) pepsin (B) ptyalin (C) amylase (D) maltase (E) sucrase www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
Answer • The correct choice is (A). Choices (B) through (E) represent enzymes that act on carbohydrates, ptyalin being another name for amylase. Maltase and sucrase, as their names suggest, are enzymes that act, respectively, on maltose and sucrose. Choice (A) is protease that arises from a precursor, pepsinogen, that is activated by hydrochloric acid, which is the acid found in gastric juices a. www.sirjamesdeverajr.weebly.com
