110)Which of the following is an Abiotic factor?

A) Plants B) Water

C) Consumers D) Animals
Answer: B) Water

Explanation:
Abiotic and biotic factors are what make up an ecosystem.

Abiotic factors are all nonliving components of an ecosystem. These factors

include chemical and geological features such as water or lack of water, soil, rocks,
and minerals. Other abiotic factors include physical components such as the
temperature and weather affecting the ecosystem.
The biotic factors in an ecosystem include all living things. All plants, animals,
fungi, protists, and bacteria within an ecosystem make up that system's biotic
factors. The biotic factors can be broken down further into producers, consumers,
and decomposers.

The biotic factors present in an ecosystem are highly dependent on the abiotic
factors that are present. Even slight changes to either factor can have a major
consequence upon the system as a whole.

129) Pollination is best defined as

A) growth of pollen B) visiting flowers by

tube in ovule insects

C) germination of D) transfer of pollen

pollen grains from anther to stigma
Answer: D) transfer of pollen from anther to stigma

Explanation:
Pollination is when pollen grains from an anther, the male portion of a flower, are
transferred to a female part of the flower, known as the stigma. In order for
pollination to be successful, the pollen grains transferred must be from a flower of
the same species.

After the pollen grains land on the stigma, they create a pollen tube through the
length of the style or stalk connecting the stigma and ovary. Once the pollen tube is
complete, the pollen grain will send sperm cells from the grain down to the ovary.
When the sperm cells reach the ovary and the egg cells, fertilization will occur,
which will result in the formation of the seed. The seed will then be released from
the parent plant and will be able to grow into a plant and continue the reproductive
cycle using the method of pollination.

132)Chylomicrons are synthesized within the

A) Intestinal cells B) Liver

C) Storage
compartment of plant D) Lymphatic system
seeds
Answer: D) Lymphatic system

Explanation:

Lipoproteins are particles that contain triacylglycerol (TAG), cholesterol,

phospholipids and amphipathic proteins called apolipoproteins.

The four major types of lipoproteins are

1. chylomicrons,

2. very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL),

3. low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and

4. high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

 Chylomicrons are formed in the endoplasmic reticulum in the absorptive cells
(enterocytes) of the small intestine.

The function of these lipoproteins is to deliver energy-rich triacylglycerol (TAG)

to cells in the body (pink pathway). TAG is stripped from chylomicrons and VLDL
through the action of lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme that is found on the surface of
endothelial cells. This enzyme digests the TAG to fatty acids and monoglycerides,
which can then diffuse into the cell to be oxidized, or in the case of an adipose cell,
to be re-synthesized into TAG and stored in the cell.
