Photosynthesis |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
— Concept: This question tests your basic understanding of the major plant organs and their primary functions.Concept: This question tests your basic understanding of the major plant organs and their primary functions.
Why (B) is correct:
- (A) Root system is primarily responsible for the absorption of water and minerals from the soil, as well as anchoring the plant. So, A-III.
- (B) Shoot system consists of the stem, leaves, and flowers. The stem's primary function is to support the plant and facilitate the spreading out of branches, leaves, and flowers to maximize light exposure and reproductive success. So, B-II.
- (C) Leaf is the main site for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. So, C-IV.
- (D) Flower is the reproductive unit of angiosperms, responsible for sexual reproduction. So, D-I.
Why other options are wrong:
- (A) Incorrectly matches root system with reproductive unit and shoot system with absorption.
- (C) Incorrectly matches root system with reproductive unit and flower with spreading branches.
- (D) Incorrectly matches root system with reproductive unit and shoot system with photosynthesis.
NEET Tip: Remember the primary roles of each plant part. Roots absorb, shoots support and display, leaves photosynthesize, and flowers reproduce.
Correct Answer: (B)
A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
