Which of the following options is not a mode of excretion in plants?

  1. Transpiration

  2. Translocation

  3. Secretion of resins and gums

  4. Through leaves


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 Plants get rid off excess water by the process called transpiration. Transpiration is the loss of water in the vapour form from the exposed surfaces of plants like leaves, stem, etc. Waste products may be stored in leaves that fall off. Also, there are other waste products, which are stored as resins and gums in old xylem (water conducting system). Translocation is the means to transport food from leaves to other parts of the plant or transport of water from the roots to other parts of the plant.

________ is generated as a ‘waste’ during photosynthesis in plants.

  1. Water

  2. Oxygen

  3. Carbon dioxide

  4. Nitrogen


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Oxygen is generated as a waste during photosynthesis in plants.

In terrestrial habitats, temperature, and rain fall conditions are influenced by ____________.

  1. water transpiration

  2. transpiration

  3. thermoperiodism

  4. translocation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Loss of water from the surface of plant is responsible for the temperature of particular terrestrial habitat. 

Apart from stomata, which is the another way through which oxygen can enter the plants?

  1. Through leaf tips

  2. Through a hole in the stem

  3. Through lenticel

  4. Thriough scars on the leaves


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Respiration in plants takes place through stomata, lenticels, and cuticle.

Main function of lenticel is _____________.

  1. transpiration

  2. guttation

  3. gaseous exchange

  4. translation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Guttation mainly takes place through lenticels.

In majority of plants, stomata opens during _________.

  1. daytime

  2. night time

  3. twilight

  4. dawn


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Majority of stomata opens during the day, and it regulates the rate of transpiration in plants.

Rate of transpiration is dependent upon _________.

  1. tugor pressure in guard cells

  2. temperature

  3. D.P.D.

  4. vapour pressure deficit


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Rate of transpiration is dependent upon the vapour pressure deficit.

Stomata is open and close due to ____________.

  1. circadian rhythm

  2. pressure of gases ouside the leaves

  3. pressure of gases inside the leaves

  4. turgor pressure of guard cells


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Turgor pressure of guard cells controls the opening and closing of stomatal pores. 

Transpiration is high in _______.

  1. rainy season

  2. winter

  3. summers

  4. dark


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

During summers, when temperature is high, the rate of transpiration will be high.  

Transpiration from the plants would be most rapid when _________.

  1. there is lot of humidity in the atmosphere

  2. the air is still

  3. there is excess of fog

  4. environmental conditions are dry


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Transpiration rate will be maximum when the atmosphere is dry.

Transpiration is regulated by movement of ___________.

  1. guard cells

  2. subsidiary cells

  3. epidermal cells

  4. mesophyll cells


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The movement of guard cells regulates the rate of transpiration. 

Transpiration occurs when the outer atmosphere ____________.

  1. is wet

  2. has more moisture content than the substomatal cavities

  3. has less moisture than substomatal cavities

  4. has the same moisture content as in the substomatal cavities


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Transpiration occurs when the outer atmosphere has less moisture than substomatal cavities. 

The instrument which measures wind velocity is ____________.

  1. lactometer

  2. rhotometer

  3. anemometer

  4. hygrometer


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Anemometer is used to measure the velocity of wind. 

Transpiration rate is dependent upon _________.

  1. stomatal frequency

  2. position of stomata

  3. state of stomata

  4. all of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Rate of transpiration depends upon thefactors like stomatal freguency, position of stomata, the state of stomata (open or close), wind, temperature, humidity, etc.

When stomata open only at night, they are called ___________.

  1. photoactive

  2. scotoactive

  3. nyctinastic

  4. helioactive


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Scotoactive behavior shown by the stomata can be defined as - stomata that opens only at night.
