Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A farmer in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, observed that his callaloo plants wilted during the midday heat but recovered by evening. Which process is primarily responsible for maintaining the firmness of the plant cells?

  1. Osmosis causing water to enter the vacuole
  2. Photosynthesis producing glucose in leaves
  3. Transpiration removing water from leaves
  4. Respiration releasing energy in cells
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: AOsmosis causing water to enter the vacuole
Award 1 mark for identifying osmosis as the process that maintains turgidity. B is incorrect because photosynthesis produces food but does not directly maintain cell firmness. C is incorrect because transpiration causes water loss, leading to wilting. D is incorrect because respiration releases energy but does not maintain turgor pressure.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which tissue in sugar cane plants provides the main structural support in mature stems?

  1. Parenchyma with large vacuoles
  2. Xylem vessels with lignified walls
  3. Phloem sieve tubes with companion cells
  4. Epidermis with waxy cuticle
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BXylem vessels with lignified walls
Award 1 mark for identifying xylem with lignin as the main support tissue in mature stems. A is incorrect because parenchyma provides support through turgor in soft tissues only. C is incorrect because phloem transports sugars but provides minimal support. D is incorrect because epidermis protects but does not provide structural support.
