Read the following four statements (A-D). How many of the above statements are correct? (A) Both, photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation involve uphill transport of protons across the membrane. (B) In dicot stems, a new cambium originates from cells of pericycle at the time of secondary growth. (C) Stamens in flowers of Gloriosa and Petunia are polyandrous. (D) Symbiotic nitrogen-fixers occur in free-living state also in soil.

  1. Two
  2. Three
  3. Four
  4. One

Correct answer: Three

Solution

Statements A, B, and D are correct, while C is incorrect. Photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation both move protons against their gradient; dicot stems form new cambium from pericycle cells during secondary growth; and many symbiotic nitrogen-fixers also exist freely in soil. Gloriosa and Petunia do not have polyandrous stamens.
