In hydroponic process, the plant is grown in

  1. water and gravel

  2. water and soil

  3. water, nutrients and soil

  4. water and nutrients, without soil

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. Hydroponics is the process of growing plants in water without soil, but nutrients are added in water.

Essential elements according to their requirements are named as

  1. large nutrients and few nutrients

  2. macro nutrients and micro nutrients

  3. useful nutrients and non-useful nutrients

  4. macro elements and micro elements

  5. macro elements and nano elements


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. There are 17 essential elements, out of which 9 are present in large quantity in tissues, known as macro nutrients and 8 are present in small amounts in tissues, known as micro nutrients.

Which of the following elements activates the osmotic potential of the cell?

  1. Zinc

  2. Iron

  3. Phosphorus

  4. Potassium

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. Potassium is involved in opening and closing of stomata and maintains turgidity of cells.

If essential elements are below the amount of nutrients required for normal growth and development of plants, plants show certain morphological and observable characters known as deficiency symptoms. What is the term used for the level of nutrients here?

  1. Deficiency level

  2. Low level

  3. Dilute concentration

  4. Critical concentration

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. If the amount of essential elements is less than the amount of nutrients required for normal growth and development of plants, the level is mentioned as critical concentration.

If essential elements are below their critical concentration, then which of the following symptoms can be seen in plants?

  1. Delayed flowering

  2. Yellowing of leaves

  3. Death of tissues

  4. Inhibition of cell division

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Yes, this is correct. All the above given symptoms arise because of deficiency of essential elements.

Toxicity of Mn does not cause deficiency of which of the following elements?

  1. Mo

  2. Ca

  3. Fe

  4. Mg

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. Toxicity of one element may lead to deficiency of other elements since the former may inhibit the uptake of the latter. Here, toxicity of Mn element does not cause deficiency of Mo.

In which of the following processes in the nitrogen cycle does the decomposition of organic nitrogen of plants and animals into ammonia take place?

  1. Nitrogen fixation

  2. Nitrification

  3. Ammonification

  4. Denitrification

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. During ammonification, the decomposition of organic nitrogen of plants and animals into ammonia takes place.

Which of the following statements is/are true regarding apoplast transport?

  1. The metabolic state of root directly affects the pathway.

  2. It is faster

  3. There is resistance in the movement of water.

  4. It consists of living parts of the plant body.

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. The apoplast pathway is faster than the symplast transport.

Which of the following explains the term 'efflux' during the symplast transport?

  1. Movement of ions

  2. Inward movement of ions

  3. The outward movement of ions

  4. The movement of ions within the cell

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. The outward movement of ions, i.e. when ions move out of the cell, it is known as efflux.

Which of the following bacteria carry out the process of denitrification?

a. Pseudomonas b. Azotobacter c. Thiobacillus d. Nostoc

  1. Only a and b

  2. Only a and c

  3. Only c and d

  4. Only b and d

  5. Only a and d


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. Both 'a' and 'c' are the bacteria which carry out the process of denitrification.

The symbiotic biological nitrogen fixing associations like a legume-bacteria relationship is not seen with the species of rod-shaped Rhizobium and the roots of

  1. alfalfa

  2. lentils

  3. garden pea

  4. clover bean

  5. None of these


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Yes, this is correct. All the above legumes have a symbiotic relationship with the species of rod-shaped Rhizobium.

Which of the following is the correct sequence of nodule formation after multiple interactions between Rhizobium and roots of the host plant?

(a) The infected root hair curls. (b) The nodule establishes a direct vascular connection with the host. (c) Bacteria gets modified into rod-shaped bacteroids. (d) Bacteria contacts a susceptible root hair and divide.

  1. c, a, d, b

  2. d, a, b, c

  3. b, a, c, d

  4. d, a, c, b

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The correct sequence is d, a, c, b.

In reductive animation, which of the following acids reacts with ammonia?

  1. α-ketoglutaric acid

  2. Glutamic acid

  3. Glutaric acid

  4. α-glutamic acid

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. In reductive amination, ammonia reacts with α-ketoglutaric acid and forms glutamic acid.

Which of the following elements is present in a small amount in tissues?

  1. Fe

  2. C

  3. Mg

  4. K

  5. S


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. Fe, i.e. iron, is present in a small amount in tissues. It is one of the micronutrients.

Phosphorus has an important role in constituting certain structures. Which of the following is/are not among them?

  1. Cell membrane

  2. Auxin

  3. Nucleic acid

  4. Phospholipids

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Auxins are not constituted by phosphorus, but are synthesised by zinc.
