What to expect: This mock test covers key concepts from the Transpiration chapter — including application-based and competency-focused questions aligned with how ICSE actually sets the paper.

Tip: Attempt without notes first to identify gaps, then review explanations for any wrong answers. Retake after a few days for best retention.

Sample questions

  1. 1.Herbaceous plants growing in well-watered soil are found to wilt on a hot day. Which of the following best explains this phenomenon?
    • A.The rate of photosynthesis exceeds the rate of respiration, causing energy imbalance.
    • B.The rate of transpiration is greater than the rate of water absorption from the soil.
    • C.The soil water becomes too warm, damaging the plant roots directly.
    • D.The plants lose minerals faster than they can absorb them, leading to deficiency.
  2. 2.Exudation of sap from injured parts.
    • A.Guttation
    • B.Secretion
    • C.Bleeding
    • D.Active transport
  3. 3.Does lower atmospheric pressure increase or decrease the rate of transpiration?
    • A.Increases the rate of transpiration
    • B.Decreases the rate of transpiration
    • C.Has no effect on transpiration
    • D.Stops transpiration completely
  4. 4.Determine whether the following statement is true or false: The upper surface of the leaves transpires more.
    • A.True
    • B.False, the lower surface transpires more
    • C.False, both surfaces transpire equally
    • D.False, only the edges transpire
  5. 5.In any experiment to demonstrate transpiration, the leaf must remain attached to its parent plant. Why is this necessary?
    • A.To ensure the leaf receives continuous water supply through the xylem vessels for transpiration.
    • B.To prevent the leaf from drying out due to exposure to air.
    • C.To allow the leaf to absorb nutrients directly from the soil.
    • D.To maintain the leaf's color and prevent it from turning brown.
