Chlorosis, i.e., loss of chlorophyll leading to yellowing in leaves, is caused by the deficiency of 

  1. N, K, Mg

  2. S, Fe, Zn

  3. Mn, Mo, Mg

  4. All of these


Correct Option: D

While in N, K and Mg deficiency, chlorosis appears first in _____ leaves; in S and Ca deficiency,_____ leaves are the first to be affected.

  1. Young, old

  2. Old, young

  3. Old, old

  4. Young, young


Correct Option: B

Deficiency symptoms of radially mobilised essential elements will first appear in _________

  1. Younger tissues

  2. Older tissues

  3. Roots

  4. Shoots


Correct Option: B

Yellowish edges appear in leaves deficient in

  1. Potassium

  2. Calcium

  3. Magnesium

  4. Phosphorus


Correct Option: A

Necrosis mainly occurs by the deficiency of  

  1. Ca, Mg

  2. N, S

  3. Mn, Mo

  4. Fe, Mn


Correct Option: A

Premature leaf fall is due to deficiency of 

  1. Sodium

  2. Potassium

  3. Zinc

  4. Phosphorus


Correct Option: D

Necrosis refers to 

  1. Inhibition of cell division

  2. Delay in flowering

  3. Death of tissues

  4. Falling of leaves


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

When a living organism's cells or tissues die or degenerate, the condition is called necrosis. In a plant, necrosis causes leaves, stems and other parts to darken and wilt. Necrosis weakens the plant and makes it more susceptible to other diseases and pests. 

Thus, the correct answer is 'Death of tissues.'

Absence of light during plant growth, result in pale colour seeds known as:

  1. Photogenesis

  2. Phototonic effect

  3. Etiolation

  4. Photomophogenesis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Seedlings grown in the dark develop long hypocotyl and their cotyledons remain closed around the epicotyl in an apical hook. This is referred to as skotomorphogenesis or etiolation. Etiolated seedlings are yellowish in color as chlorophyll synthesis and chloroplast development depend on light

So the correct answer is 'Etiolation'.

Which combination of statement is correct?
i. Biosynthesis of nucleorides,proteins and fatty acids takes place in the cytoplasm.
II. Nucleolus is present in the cytoplasm.
iii. Golgi apparatus helps in the forrmation of lysosomes.
iv. Flattened sacs of golgi apparatus is known as cisternae.
v. Ribsomes are not found in prokaryotic cells.

  1. $i,iii \quad and \quad v$

  2. $ii,iii,iv \quad and \quad v$

  3. $i,iii \quad and \quad iv$

  4. $ii,iii \quad and \quad v$

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The biosynthesis of nucleotides, proteins and fatty acids occur in the cytosol of the cell. 

The nucleolus is a dense spheroidal body situated within the nucleus. 
Golgi apparatus stores lysosome enzyme produced by the endoplasmic reticulum and further buds off as small vesicles to develop lysosomes. 

Golgi complex is a membrane-bound organelle that is present in eukaryotic cells that are composed of stacks of flattened and membrane-bound bodies, called cisternae. 
Ribosomes are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. 
So, the correct answer is option C. 


Deficiency symptons of nitrogen and potassium are visible first in.

  1. Young leaves

  2. Roots

  3. Buds

  4. Senescent leaves


Correct Option: D

Chlorosis is caused by the deficiency of.

  1. Chlorine and boron

  2. Nitrogen and calcium

  3. Magnesium and iron

  4. Potassium and phosphorus


Correct Option: A

Apoptosis is programmed cell death characterised by the formation of apoptotic bodies whereas necrosis characterised by bursting of cells. Which of the following condition/s lead/s to necrosis ?
i) Gaps and nicks formed in DNA during replication cannot be repaired.
(ii) Developing neurons fail to make synapses with neighbouring cells.
(iii) Heart muscle cells damaged by oxygen depletion followed by cardiac infarction. 

  1. (i) and (ii)

  2. (ii) and (iii)

  3. (i) only

  4. (iii) only


Correct Option: A

Ribulose phosphate is a ____________.

  1. Aldose sugar

  2. Ketose sugar

  3. Disaccharide

  4. Trisaccharide


Correct Option: A

Which component of the ETS is carrier of electron as well as proton?

  1. UQ

  2. Cyt-a

  3. Cyt-b

  4. Cyt-f


Correct Option: A

Which element is common to nucleic acids, phospholip ATP, ADP, NADPH, NAD, FAD?

  1. Calcium

  2. Boron

  3. Zinc

  4. Phosphorus


Correct Option: A

Which one of the following statements can best explain the term critical concentration of an essential element? 

  1. Essential element concentration below which plant growth is retarded

  2. Essential element concentration below which plant growth becomes enhanced

  3. Essential element concentration below which plant remains in the vegetative phase

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Critical Concentration is the term which is used to define the concentration of essential elements below which the growth of plant is Retarded or Reduced. Also, if the concentration of essential elements rise above the critical concentrations.  it leads to Toxicity. So, the correct answer is "Essential elements concentration below which plant growth is retarded."

You observed that a plant's younger leaves, not the older ones, are yellowing. You recall that the cause of plant sickness can be diagnosed by which leaves are yellowing.
What is the most likely cause of your plant's blight?

  1. Too much shade

  2. Lack of nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium bacteria

  3. A deficiency in a mobile mineral nutrient.

  4. A deficiency in a non-mobile mineral nutrient.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

If there is a deficiency of mobile nutrients, the symptoms are first seen in the leaves. Mobile and immobile nutrients refer to the transportability of these (K), (Mg), (Cl), (Zn) and (Mo).

So, the correct option is 'A deficiency in a non-mobile mineral nutrient'.

Buds that produced lateral branches develop at

  1. Internodes

  2. Apical meristems

  3. Auxillary meristems

  4. Nodes


Correct Option: D

Buds typically occur at

  1. Leaf bases

  2. Leaf axils

  3. Tips of stems and roots

  4. Tips of branches and leaf bases


Correct Option: D
