- D.
The contraction and relaxation of the heart muscles help to pump and distribute blood to different parts of the body.
Correct Answer
C. They are non-striated, multinucleated and branched muscles.Explanation
Cardiac muscles are striated, meaning they have a striped appearance due to the arrangement of contractile proteins. They are also uninucleated, meaning they have a single nucleus per cell, unlike skeletal muscles which are multinucleated. Additionally, cardiac muscles are branched, allowing for better coordination and communication between cells. Therefore, the statement that cardiac muscles are non-striated, multinucleated, and branched is not related to cardiac muscles.Rate this question:

- B.
Loss of water in the form of vapours during transpiration.
- C.
Helps to create pressure for the water to rise upward, by its process of transpiration.
- D.
Helps the leaves to carry out the process of photosynthesis.
Correct Answer
D. Helps the leaves to carry out the process of pHotosynthesis.Explanation
Stomata are not directly involved in the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, specifically in the mesophyll cells of leaves. Stomata primarily function in the exchange of gases, particularly carbon dioxide and oxygen, with the atmosphere. They also play a role in regulating water loss through transpiration and help create pressure for water to rise upward through capillary action. However, the actual process of photosynthesis, which involves the conversion of light energy into chemical energy, occurs within the chloroplasts and does not directly involve stomata.Rate this question:
