MINERAL Transport+PYQS

Casparian strip is composed mainly of:

Answer: C) Suberin and lignin. For MINERAL Transport, remember the key idea and you’ll land on this option; the distractors usually swap cause and effect or confuse similar terms. Avoid: A) Cellulose and pectin; B) Cutin and wax; D) Hemicellulose. Name the process first, then pick the option that describes it — don’t reverse cause and effect.
