Correct Option: C

Which of the following is obtained when chlorophyll breaks down?

  1. Fe

  2. Mg

  3. Fe & Mg

  4. Ca & Mn


Correct Option: B

Deficiency of molybdenum causes

  1. yellowing of leaves

  2. mottling and necrosis of leaves

  3. poor development of vasculature

  4. bending of leaf tip

  1. Zn

  2. Ca

  3. Mg

  4. P


Correct Option: A

The role of Molybdenum is

  1. chromosome contraction

  2. carbon assimilation

  3. nitrogen fixation

  4. flowering induction


Correct Option: C

Dieback disease of citrus is caused by

  1. virus

  2. fungus

  3. bacterium

  4. Cu-deficiency


Correct Option: D

Presence of phosphorus in a plant

  1. brings about healthy root growth

  2. promotes fruit ripening

  3. retards protein formation

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: A

Most abundant elements in a living cell are

  1. C, O, H, N

  2. C, O, S, P

  3. C, O N, S

  4. C, O, H, P


Correct Option: A

The most common ion in cell is

  1. phosphorus

  2. potassium

  3. iron

  4. sulphur


Correct Option: B

Wilting of the plant occurs when

  1. xylem is blocked

  2. phloem is blocked

  3. both xylem and phloem are blocked

  4. a few roots are removed


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 Xylem tissue is involved in water conducting system of plants; so if it is blocked, the plant will show wilting. The process of wilting modifies the leaf angle distribution of the plant (or canopy) towards more erectophile conditions.

The plant ash is/are the

  1. mineral salts absorbed by the plant

  2. organic matter of the plant

  3. both the mineral salts and organic matter

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: A

Starch-sugar conversion hypothesis of the stomatal opening was proposed by

  1. Levitt

  2. Sayre & Steward

  3. Sachs

  4. Emerson


Correct Option: B

An independent role in energy metabolism is played by

  1. Li

  2. Ca

  3. P

  4. Na


Correct Option: C

Maximum transpiration occurs from

  1. dermal tissue

  2. ground tissues of scale leave

  3. periderm and lenticels

  4. protoderm and procambium


Correct Option: A

In water-logged soil, plants do not grow properly because

  1. the soil is physiologically dry

  2. the soil is physiologically wet

  3. of excessive water

  4. of shortage of minerals


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The raised water table results in the soils becoming water-logged. When soils are water-logged, air spaces in the soil are filled with water, and plant roots essentially suffocate - lack oxygen. Waterlogging also damages soil structure. So, the soil becomes physiologically dry.

In the process of plasmolysis

  1. endosmosis occurs

  2. exosmois occurs

  3. imbibition occurs

  4. diffusion occurs


Correct Option: B

Who proposed “relay pump theory” of the ascent of sap?

  1. Bose

  2. Godlewski and Westermeyer

  3. Strasburger

  4. Sachs


Correct Option: B

Plasma membrane controls

  1. passage of water only

  2. passage of water and solutes in and out of the cell

  3. passage of water and solutes into the cell

  4. movement of cell contents out of the cell


Correct Option: B

If a solution 'A' having an OP of 10 atm. is separated from another solution 'B' having an OP of 5 atm by a semipermeable membrane, what will happen?

  1. Solvent moves from B to A

  2. Solvent moves from A to B

  3. No movement of solvent occurs

  4. Movement of solute from A to B


Correct Option: A

Deplasmolysis in a cell occurs when it is dipped in a

  1. hypotonic solution

  2. isotonic solution

  3. hypertonic solution

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: A
