  2. Drip

  3. Sprinkler

  4. Spray
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Drip irrigation is most economical and efficient technique of irrigation. Watering plants by drip irrigation method is a more economical way of watering plants. In this technique, water is supplied drop by drop near the plant roots through the small opening is called as drippers. By this method, there is no loss of water due to seepage, runoff or evaporation. Thus, the correct answer is option B.

B. Cellular modifications in distal convoluted tubule where it is in contact with afferent arteriole
C. Macula densa cells
D. Glomerulus.

  1. A only

  2. A & B

  3. A, B & C

  4. A, B, C & D
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) is a specialized region formed by cellular modifications in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) where it contacts the afferent arteriole, specifically involving macula densa cells, along with juxtaglomerular cells in the afferent arteriole. Therefore, statements A, B, and C all correctly describe components or locations associated with the formation of the JGA.
