Root cap is absent in ________.

  1. Lithophytes

  2. Xerophytes

  3. Mesophytes

  4. Hydrophytes

  5. Halophytes


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hydrophytes are the aquatic plants found either in the fresh water or marine waters.

Loss of soil nutrients from top layer of soil is referred to ____________.

  1. mulching

  2. leaching

  3. percolation

  4. nutrient cycle

  5. mineral cycling


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The loss of water-soluble plant nutrients from the soil is called as leaching.

What are oxylophytes?

  1. Plants which grow on rocks.

  2. Plants that grow on sand.

  3. Plants that grow on waste land.

  4. Plants that grow in saline soils.

  5. Plants that grow under acidic conditions.


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

These are called as oxylophytes.

If all the carbon dioxide were withdrawn from the biosphere, which organism would first experience the negative effects?

  1. Primary consumers

  2. Secondary consumers

  3. Producers

  4. Decomposers

  5. Tertiary consumers


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Producers are the green plants which prepare their food by photosynthesis by carbon dioxide, water, sunlight and chlorophyll. Hence, if all the carbon dioxide were to be withdrawn from the atmosphere they will be unable to do photosynthesis.

 

What are helophytes?

  1. These are amphibious plants

  2. Free floating

  3. Submerged plants

  4. Fixed floating

  5. Plants that grow under salty marshes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Heophytes are the amphibious plants.

Myremecophilly is a beneficial association between flowering plants and __________.

  1. bacteria

  2. virus

  3. ants

  4. mycoplasma

  5. prions


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This association is beneficial and is called myremecophily.

What will happen, if all the green plants disappear from the earth?

  1. The carnivores will continue to live.

  2. Only the birds and insects will die.

  3. All the animals will die.

  4. Chemosynthetic bacteria will produce food for all.

  5. Decomposers will start acting in a massive way.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is true because all the animals directly or indirectly depend upon green plants for thier food intake.

What are mesophytes?

  1. Plants growing on normal soil and water conditions.

  2. Plants growing as bushy vegetation.

  3. Plants growing in savanna.

  4. Plants growing in cold soil.

  5. Plants growing in sandy soil.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

These are called as mesophytes.

Which are the most efficient photosynthetic organisms in a pond ecosystem?

  1. Submerged hydrophytes

  2. Floating plants

  3. Phytoplanktons

  4. Epiphytic algae

  5. Zooplanktons


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Phytoplankton are microscopic plants that grow in the upper regions of the ocean where sunlight is plentiful. These are the most efficient photosynthesizers.

In most food webs green plants are very important because ______________.

  1. most animals eat plants

  2. they contain chlorophyll

  3. they can perform photosynthesis

  4. they provide protection to animals

  5. they consume and remove carbon dioxide


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Plants are very important as they perform photosynthesis by the help of chlorophyll, sunlight and carbon dioxide. M ost animals directly or indirectly depend upon plants for their survival.

Which plants are restricted only to arctic and alpine regions?

  1. Hekistotherms

  2. Microtherms

  3. Mesotherms

  4. Megatherms

  5. Psychrophytes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

These are found above 4800m in tropics.

In which type of soil, the yield would be maximum?

  1. Loamy soil

  2. Fine sand

  3. Clayey soil

  4. Gravel

  5. Silt


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Soil is composed of a mixture of sand, clay, silt, and organic matter.

In which kind of ecosystem, the number of primary producers within a fixed area would be the greatest?

  1. Pond ecosystem

  2. Grassland ecosystem

  3. Forest ecosystem

  4. Desert ecosystem

  5. Man-made ecosystem


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A pond ecosystem is a fragile balance of organisms such as fish, plants and other animals. The ecosystem starts with solar energy, which is utilized by plants. Here, the number of primary producers is the greatest, which also includes many phytoplankton's.

Which of the following options shows Biotic components?

  1. Producers, consumers, decomposers

  2. Consumers only

  3. Producers only

  4. Producers and consumers

  5. Decomposers only


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Producers are the green plants,  which prepare food by photosynthesis. Consumers consume the food prepared by the plants and decomposers are the microorganisms, which decompose everything.

Which of the following is a xerophyte?

  1. Brassica

  2. Typha

  3. Capparis

  4. Spartina altemiflora

  5. Hydrilla


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is a xerophyte,  which requires very dry conditions for its growth.
