D
pig
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) is a parasite affecting a range of livestock and other species. Final hosts in which it can develop to sexual maturity include livestock such as sheep, cattle, horses, goats, alpacas and deer. People can be infected by eating water cress growing along creeks in fluke-infested country. While snails are intermediate hosts, sheep and pigs are definitive hosts.

Solution
Which of the following factors can reduce the population of a community?
A
Immigration
B
edaphic
C
predation
D
mutualism
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Predation include all interactions in which one organism consumes all or part of another. This includes predator-prey, herbivore-plant, and parasite-host interactions.
Migration is the movement of individuals of a species from one place to another.
Mutualism is the way two organisms of different species exist in a relationship in which each individual benefits from the activity of the other.
Edaphic factor is an abiotic factor relating to the physical or chemical composition of the soil found in a particular area.

Reproduction in Plants & Animals
Solution
In mosses the structure which performs the function of water absorption is the _________?
A
root hairs
B
rhizoids
C
capsule
D
hyphae
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Mosses do not have a proper roots, but have threadlike rhizoids that anchor them to their substrate.
Rhizoids absorb water by capillary action, in which water moves up between threads of rhizoids and not through each of them as it does in roots.
hyphae are also important in the reproductive process in that they produce new spores while root hairs are important for the uptake of nutrients
