Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A farmer in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, noticed that his callaloo plants wilted during the hottest part of the day but recovered by evening. Which process is primarily responsible for the wilting?

  1. Photosynthesis
  2. Transpiration
  3. Respiration
  4. Translocation
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BTranspiration
Award 1 mark for identifying transpiration as the process causing water loss faster than uptake during hot conditions. A is incorrect — photosynthesis produces glucose, not water loss. C is incorrect — respiration releases energy but does not cause wilting. D is incorrect — translocation moves sugars, not water loss from leaves.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which structure in a plant root is responsible for increasing the surface area for water absorption?

  1. Xylem vessel
  2. Root hair cell
  3. Guard cell
  4. Phloem tube
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BRoot hair cell
Award 1 mark for identifying root hair cells as extensions that increase surface area. A is incorrect — xylem vessels transport water upward, not absorb it. C is incorrect — guard cells control stomatal opening in leaves. D is incorrect — phloem tubes transport sugars, not water uptake.
