  1. Fleshy leaves - onion

  2. Underground stem - Turmeric

  3. Racemose - Solanum

  4. Phylloclade - Euphorbia


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

  • The onion plant has bluish-green leaves and its bulb at the base of the plant begins to swell when a certain day-length is reached. The bulbs are composed of shortened, compressed, underground stems surrounded by fleshy modified scale leaves that envelop a central bud at the tip of the stem.
  • Underground stems are modified plant structures that derive from stem tissue but exist under the soil surface. Turmeric is the rhizome or underground stem.
  • In racemose inflorescence,  the growing region at the tip of the flower stalk continues to produce new flower buds during growth. As a result, the youngest flowers are at the top and the oldest flowers are at the base of the stalk. Mustard shows racemose inflorescence. Cyme inflorescence is present in Solanum. A Cyme is a group of flowers in which the end of each growing point produces a flower, so new growth comes from side shoots and the oldest flowers are at the top.
  • Phylloclade is a flattened branch or stem-joint resembling and functioning as a leaf. Phylloclade is a stem modification for deserts like area in which the stem becomes broad and fattened (in Opuntia) or cylindrical (in euphorbia)
So, the correct answer is 'Racemose - Solanum'.

The waxy material deposited in the casparian strip of the endodermis is

  1. Pectin

  2. Suberin

  3. Cellulose

  4. Lignin


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • Suberin is a cell wall constituent that forms gas and watertight layers. It is part of the Casparian strip of the root endodermis, where it acts as a diffusion barrier between the apoplast of the root cortex and the central cylinder.
  • Suberin is present in many C4 plants as an impermeable layer between the bundle sheath and mesophyll cells.
So, the correct option is 'Suberin'.

_________ traps the insect.

  1. Sunflower

  2. Tuberose

  3. Mimosa

  4. Venus fly trap


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The venus fly trap which looks and smells like a flower to insects. When they land on it, they touch a trigger hair which slams the trap shut and they are then digested by the plant.

Insectivorous plants commonly grow in areas where soil is deficient in

  1. Carbon

  2. Nitrogen

  3. Potassium

  4. Phosphorus


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The insectivorous plants are the carnivorous plants which feed on the insects. These plants have adapted to grow in the extreme conditions of the soil such as acidic pH. Generally, these plants are known to grow in the soil which is deficient in the mineral nutrients due to the presence of acid. The plant can grow in the soil which have low levels of nitrogen. 

Thus, the correct answer is option B. 

An example of a parasitic plant that is also strictly epiphytic is

  1. cuscuta(dodder)

  2. Viscum(mistletoe)

  3. Rafflesia

  4. Orobanche


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • Cuscuta is a large and widely distributed genus of twining leafless parasitic herbs.
  • Viscum is a common example of partial stem parasites, which grow as parasitic epiphytes on host plants. But it can carry out photosynthesis and manufacture their own food.
  • Rafflesia is a parasitic plant that lacks chlorophyll and contains a single very large flower.
  • Orobanche is the genus of more than 200 species of the parasitic nature plants.

So, option B is correct.

Aldrovanda is

  1. Fly catcher plant

  2. Water flea trap

  3. Devil's foot

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B

  3. Nepenthes leaves are modified into leaf-pitcher to trap insects so that they fulfill their nitrogen deficiency.
  4. Utricularia is an insectivorous plant that grows in water and their leaves get modified to leaf-bladder for digesting insects.
So the correct option is 'Nepenthes'

Leaf tip tendrils are present in

  1. Smilax

  2. Lathyrus

  3. Pisum

  4. Gloriosa


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Leaf tendrils: In weak-stemmed plants, leaf or a part of leaf gets modified into tendrils i.e., a green coiled threadlike structure which helps in climbing around the support. Gloriosa or Glory Lily has leaf tip modified into tendrils. It is also a type of leaf tendrils.
So,the correct answer is " Gloriosa " .

Spines present on the areoles of Opuntia represent

  1. stem

  2. leaves

  3. buds

  4. phyllodes


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Areoles are the evolutionary modification in the cacti. These modifications give rise to spines and glochids which are the means of self-defense. These spines effectively cover the cacti. These evolved as abortive branch buds while their spines evolved as vestigial leaves.

So, the correct answer is " leaves".

Which of the following plants parts in garlic onion are edible?

  1. Underground stem

  2. Fleshy scale leaves

  3. Tunic

  4. Adventitious roots


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

'Fleshy scale leaves' in garlic and onion are edible plant parts.

So the correct answer is 'Fleshy scaly leaves'.

Phyllodes are seen in

II) Australian acacia
III) Opuntia

  1. I only

  2. I and II only

  3. II only

  4. I and III only


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Phyllodes are formed when petioles of some plants become flattened and widened. The petiole of Australian acacia is changed to a planed, leaf-like structure which turns green in color showing photosynthesis. Thus, phyllodes are found in Australian acacia.

So, the correct answer is 'II only'.

The pulvinus in 'Touch-me-not plant' plays an important role in

  1. Photosynthesis

  2. leaf fall

  3. Leaf movement

  4. Transpiration


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The leaves close under various other stimuli, such as touching, warming, blowing, or shaking. ... The stimulus can also be transmitted to neighboring leaves. It is not known exactly why Mimosa pudica evolved this trait, but many scientists think that the plant uses its ability to shrink as a defense from herbivores. So, the correct option is "C" (Leaf movement).

Which of the following are called food factories of the plants?

  1. Leaves

  2. Stem

  3. Roots

  4. Flowers


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The part of the plant which produces food is a leaf. Leaves prepare food in presence of sunlight by a process called photosynthesis. In this process, food is produced by utilizing water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight. Therefore, leaves are called food factories of the plants.
So, the answer is A.

Pinnately parallel venation is found in

  1. Canna

  2. Grass

  3. Zizyphus

  4. Castor


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Venation is the arrangement of veins on the leaves. It is basically of 2 types, reticulate and parallel. Reticulate venation involves irregular distribution of veins to form a network. Parallel venation involves the veins running parallel to each other. In pinnate or unicostate venation, the lamina has a single principal vein or midrib. It produces lateral veins. In palmate or multicostate venation, lamina has more than one principal vein. In Canna, the venation is pinnately parallel. 

Thus, the correct answer is 'Canna.'

   __________ is an example of pinnate type venation of leaf blade.

  1. Cosmos

  2. Castor

  3. Tapioica

  4. Semul


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Venation is the arrangement of veins on the leaves. It is basically of 2 types, pinnate and palmate. In pinnate or unicostate venation, the lamina has a single principal vein or midrib. It produces lateral veins. In palmate or multicostate venation, lamina has more than one principal vein. Castor has palmate type venation of leaf blade. Cosmos is an example of pinnate type venation of leaf blade. Thus, the correct answer is 'Cosmos.'

In common weed Parthenium the leaf is compound

  1. Multifoliate

  2. Tripinnate

  3. Decompound

  4. Bipinnate


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Compound leaves are of two types, namely pinnately compound leaves and palmately compound leaves. In palmately compound leaf, the leaflets are arranged at the tip of the petiole. It is further divided into 5 types depending upon the number of leaflets present at the tip of the petiole.

In unifoliate, there is only one terminal leaflet is attached at the top of petiole. Example includes citrus.

In bifoliate, two leaflets are attached side by side at the terminal end of petiole. Example includes Balanites roxburghii.

In trifoliate, three terminal leaflets are attached at the terminal end of petiole. Example includes Aegle marmelos.

In quadrifoliate, four leaflets are attached to the tip of petiole. Example includes Paris quadrifolia.

In multifoliate, five or more leaflets are present at the tip of petiole in the form of fingers of the palm. Example includes Parthenium (common weed).

Thus, the correct answer is 'Multifoliate.'
