ovules are not enclosed by any ovary wall
and remain exposed, both before and
after fertilisation. The seeds that develop
post-fertilisation, are not covered, i.e.,

23. Answer: D 24. Answer: A
Sol:
A gametophyte is the haploid

multicellular stage, which occurs during
the alternation of generations in the life
cycle of plants. In case of heterosporous
plant, the gametophytes are unisexual
and produce either eggs or sperm. The
evolution of plants however, also
showcases a steady reduction in the
independence and size of the
gametophytic generation. While the male
gametophyte develops inside the pollen
grain, the female gametophyte develops
inside the ovule. In angiospermae, the
gametophytic phases are reduced to a
few cells and are dependent on the
sporophytic phase for their nutrition. So,
the correct option is B.

aquatic habitats and on decaying wood in a fungus with a root system. The
moist and damp places or as obligate fungal filaments form a network around
parasites on plants. the young root or they penetrate the root
cells. The hyphae have a very large
surface area that absorb mineral ions
and water from the soil from a much
larger volume of soil that perhaps a
root cannot do. The fungus provides
minerals and water to the roots, in turn
the roots provide sugars and N-
containing compounds to the
mycorrhizae. Some plants have an
obligate association with the
mycorrhizae. For example, Pinus seeds
cannot germinate and establish without
the presence of mycorrhizae.
Thus, the association of mycorrhiza

promotes the growth of the plant.
Sol:
Guttation is the process in which loss of

water occurs in the form of droplets
through the hydathodes.
These hydathodes are the small pores

found in angiosperms from where the
water discharge occurs.
Hydathodes are made of a group of living

cells with numerous intercellular spaces
filled with water, but few or no
chloroplasts, and represent modified
bundle-ends.
Hydathodes are always associated with

the vein ends of leaves. Hydathodes
always remain open (both day and

Sol:
Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI),

the second enzyme in the glycolytic
pathway, is a dimeric enzyme that
catalyzes the conversion of glucose-6-
phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate.
This enzyme has been linked to the
proliferation and motility of cancer cells
via its control over glucose-6-
phosphate levels.
Within a cell, glucose 6-phosphate is

produced by phosphorylation of
glucose on the sixth carbon. This is
catalyzed by the enzyme hexokinase in
most cells, and, in higher animals,
glucokinase in certain cells, most notably
liver cells.
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that

converts glucose C₆H₁₂O₆, into pyruvate,
CH₃COCOO⁻, and a hydrogen ion, H⁺.
Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm.
Within the mitochondrion, the citric acid
cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix,
