Question 1 · Agribusiness Systems
A farmer notices that the price of corn has increased due to high demand. What is the most likely effect on corn production?
- A.Production will decrease
- B.Production will remain unchanged
- C.Production will increase
- D.Production will stop
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C. Production will increase
Higher prices increase potential profit. Producers respond by increasing supply to maximize revenue.
Question 2 · Animal Systems
Which management practice improves goat herd health?
- A.Overcrowding
- B.Irregular feeding
- C.Lack of vaccination
- D.Proper nutrition and housing
Show answer and explanation
Answer: D. Proper nutrition and housing
Proper nutrition and housing reduce disease risk and improve productivity.
Question 3 · Food Science and Biotechnology Systems
What is a primary use of cloning in livestock production?
- A.Increase soil fertility
- B.Reduce feed consumption
- C.Improve water systems
- D.Replicate animals with desirable traits
Show answer and explanation
Answer: D. Replicate animals with desirable traits
Cloning allows reproduction of animals with superior genetics.
Question 4 · Plant Systems
What is the primary function of plant roots?
- A.Photosynthesis
- B.Absorption of water and nutrients
- C.Reproduction
- D.Pollination
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. Absorption of water and nutrients
Roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil and anchor the plant.
Question 5 · Power, Structural, and Technical Systems
Regular inspection of plumbing systems helps to:
- A.Prevent system failures
- B.Increase leakage
- C.Reduce water flow
- D.Increase costs
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A. Prevent system failures
Maintenance prevents leaks and system breakdowns.
Question 6 · Agribusiness Systems
When demand for a product decreases while supply remains constant, what happens to price?
- A.Price increases
- B.Price remains constant
- C.Price decreases
- D.Price becomes fixed
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C. Price decreases
A decrease in demand leads to lower prices because fewer buyers are willing to purchase at higher prices.
Question 7 · Animal Systems
Which environmental factor affects goat health the most?
- A.Random feeding
- B.Stable temperature and shelter
- C.Poor sanitation
- D.Limited water
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. Stable temperature and shelter
Proper shelter and stable conditions support overall health.
Question 8 · Food Science and Biotechnology Systems
Which is a limitation of cloning?
- A.Increased genetic variation
- B.Reduced genetic diversity
- C.High genetic diversity
- D.Improved disease resistance
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. Reduced genetic diversity
Cloning reduces variation, increasing vulnerability to diseases.
Question 9 · Plant Systems
Which root function directly supports plant stability?
- A.Photosynthesis
- B.Anchorage
- C.Reproduction
- D.Transpiration
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. Anchorage
Roots anchor the plant in the soil, preventing displacement.
Question 10 · Power, Structural, and Technical Systems
Which maintenance action helps prevent pipe leaks?
- A.Regular inspection of fittings
- B.Ignoring joints
- C.Increasing pressure continuously
- D.Removing valves
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A. Regular inspection of fittings
Inspecting fittings and joints helps detect and fix leaks early.
