54) Question Explanation: For the equilibrium PCl₅ ⇌ PCl₃ + Cl₂, the equilibrium constant
Kp is written using partial pressures. The
degree of dissociation x helps relate mole fractions to partial pressures. We derive the relation
between x²P and Kp.
Concept: Degree of dissociation, Kp = (p(PCl₃)·p(Cl₂)) / p(PCl₅).
Solution:
Start with 1 mol PCl₅.
At equilibrium : PCl₅ = 1 − x, PCl₃ = x, Cl₂ = x, total = 1 + x.
Partial pressures: p(PCl₅) = (1 − x)/(1 + x)·P
p(PCl₃) = x/(1 + x)·P
p(Cl₂) = x/(1 + x)·P
Kp = [x/(1 + x)·P]·[x/(1 + x)·P] / [(1 − x)/(1 + x)·P]
= x²P / (1 − x²).
Thus, x²P = Kp(1 − x²).

hour.
Concept -
Growth Is Measurable
Solution -
maize root apical meristem produces more than 17,500 new cells per hour.
Final answer -
Option 3
129) Explanation :
Apical dominance is caused by auxin produced in the apical (top) bud, which suppresses the
growth of axillary (lateral) buds. Applying cytokinin can overcome apical dominance by
promoting the growth of axillary buds, even in the presence of auxin.

Problem Statement: The question is asking which plant hormone helps plants survive and
tolerate different types of environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, or extreme
temperatures.
Underlying Concept: Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that plays a key role in helping
plants respond to stress conditions. ABA helps plants by closing stomata to reduce water loss,
signals stress responses, and enhances tolerance to unfavorable environmental conditions.
Other hormones listed, such as Ethylene, Auxin, and Cytokinin, have different roles related to
growth and development but are not primarily involved in stress tolerance.
Tips and Tricks: Remember 'ABA' stands for Abscisic Acid, and it is often called the 'stress
hormone' of plants because of its vital role in stress tolerance.
Common Mistakes: Confusing ABA with other hormones like Ethylene, which is involved in
fruit ripening and leaf fall, or Auxin which is involved primarily in growth and cell elongation.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect?: Ethylene mainly regulates processes like fruit ripening
and leaf abscission, not stress tolerance. Auxin primarily influences cell growth and
differentiation, and Cytokinin encourages cell division and shoot formation. These hormones
do not increase stress tolerance like ABA does.

Explain Question : The question asks to identify the correct statement regarding the
reproductive process in most angiosperms.
Explanation: Reduction division (meiosis) occurs in the megaspore mother cell, leading to the
formation of haploid megaspores.
133)
The question asks about the correct sequence of events in the formation of the female
gametophyte in the ovule of angiosperms.
Explanation: The process of female gametophyte formation (or embryo sac development)
involves several stages:
A. Meiotic division in the megaspore mother cell (C): The megaspore mother cell undergoes
meiosis to form four megaspores, one of which is functional.
B. Degeneration of 3 megaspores (B): Three of the four megaspores degenerate, and only the
functional megaspore remains.
C. 3 successive free nuclear divisions in the functional megaspore (A): The functional
megaspore undergoes three rounds of mitotic division without cytokinesis, resulting in 8
nuclei.
D. Migration of 3 nuclei towards each pole (D): The nuclei arrange themselves, with 3 nuclei
migrating towards the micropylar end and 3 nuclei towards the chalazal end. One nucleus
remains in the center.
E. Formation of wall, resulting in a seven-celled embryo sac (E): After the migration of
nuclei, cell walls form around the nuclei, resulting in the formation of the 7-celled embryo sac,
including the egg cell and surrounding cells.

Solution: Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune disorder. In this condition, the body's
immune system attacks and destroys the receptors for acetylcholine at the neuromuscular
junction. This prevents proper nerve signal transmission to the muscles, leading to muscle
weakness, fatigue, and paralysis.

Question Explanation:
The sliding filament theory is the widely accepted explanation for how muscles contract.
A. Calcium Ion Increase: When a nerve impulse reaches a muscle fiber, it triggers the
release of calcium ions (Ca++) within the muscle cell.
B. Actin-Myosin Interaction: Calcium ions bind to a protein called troponin, which causes a
shift in another protein called tropomyosin. This exposes the binding sites on actin
filaments. Myosin heads, which are part of the myosin filaments, then bind to these
exposed sites on actin.
C. Sliding and Shortening: Myosin heads pull on the actin filaments, causing them to slide
past each other. This sliding movement, while the filaments themselves don't actually
shorten, results in the overall shortening of the muscle fiber, which is what we perceive
as muscle contraction.
Final Answer:
The correct answer to the question is Option 3 (After intracellular increase of Ca++ ion
concentration, actin & myosin filaments shorten & slide pass each other).

Solution:
• x = Thyroid gland – SECRETE THYROCALCITONIN (y) – increase calcium in bone
• a = Thyroid gland – secrete b = Thyroxine – its deficiency causes stunted growth of body
151)
Solution:
A. (1) (a) Thyroid - Parathormone - Stimulates Lipolysis: The thyroid gland (a) produces
thyroid hormones not parathormone (produced by the parathyroid glands). So this is
incorrect.
B. (2) (c) Pancreas - Insulin - Stimulates glycogenolysis: The pancreas (c) produces insulin,
but insulin inhibits glycogenolysis. So this is incorrect.
C. (3) (d) Adrenal - Cortisol - Stimulates gluconeogenesis: The adrenal cortex produces
cortisol, which stimulates gluconeogenesis. This is correct.
D. (4) (f) Ovary - Androgen - Protein catabolism: (f) Appears to be the testis in a female. So
this is incorrect.

Question explanation
The question is asking to identify the correctly labelled parts A, B, and C in the given diagram
of a myosin molecule.
Concept
Structure of Contractile Proteins.
Solution
In the myosin filament, the head region has an actin binding site and an ATP binding site. The
cross arm connects the head to the tail, helping in cross-bridge formation during contraction.
Hence A is actin binding site, B is ATP binding site, and C is cross arm.
Final answer
A = Actin binding site, B = ATP binding site, C = Cross arm
