So the given statement is False.

Climbers are advanced than creepers. 

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Climbers are meant to be more advance than creepers as unlike them creepers evolve themselves and modify their parts to form special structure known as tendrils and climb up but creepers grow on ground and are not able to support their weight .

So the statement is True.

Culm is found in

  1. Ginger

  2. Mango

  3. Bamboo

  4. Guava


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A culm is the aerial (above-ground) stem of a grass or sedge. It is derived from culmus, the Latin word for "stalk", and it originally referred to the stem of any type of plant. So bamboo have a culm.

so correct answer is C.

Read the following matches.

(i) Lily Compound tunicated bulb
(ii) Potato Tuber
(iii) Allium cepa Simple tunicated bulb
(iv) Allium sativum Scaly bulb

Which of these are correct?

  1. (i), (ii) and (iii)

  2. (ii), (iii) and (iv)

  3. (ii) and (iii)

  4. (iii) and (iv)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
 Lily  Scaly bulb (in which tunic cover is absent)
 Potato  Tuber
 Allium cepa (Onion)  Simple tunicated bulb
Allium sativum (Garlic)   Compound tunicated bulb

The bulb is a modification of underground stem. The bulb is divided into two categories: 1) Tunicated 2) Scaly/Imbricate. 

Tunicated is further divided into 1) Simple tunicated Bulb and 2) Compound Tunicated Bulb. 

So the correct option is "ii, iii ".

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

A weak stem which itself coils around the support is called 

  1. Twiner

  2. Scrambler

  3. Liana

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A

Pisum sativum is a

  1. Climber

  2. Tree

  3. Shrub

  4. Heterotroph


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Pisum sativum is a climber because it has a weak stem which needs support for growing upright. It has a soft green pliable stem which when grown in farms are given enough support system.

so, the correct answer is 'Climber'.

Date Palm is?

  1. Caudex

  2. Excurrent

  3. Deliquescent

  4. Culm


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  1. The caudex is the axis of the plant of palm or fern that has a stem as well as root.
  2. The excurrent stem has the axis that is prolonged to form undivided main stem or trunk as in conifers.
  3. Deliquescent is the branching in which stem is not figured out as in deciduous trees.
  4. Culm is an aerial stem of grass.
So the correct option is 'Caudex'

Underground stems are primarily meant for

  1. Vegetative reproduction

  2. Perennation

  3. Protection from strong light

  4. Anaerobic respiration


Correct Option: B

In one plant, underground stems are modified to store food and in another plant, the stem tendrils develop from axillary buds to help plant climb. They are

  2. Carrot, Jasmine

  3. Sweet Potato, Bougainvillea

  4. Opuntia, Eichhornia

  5. Sweet Potato, Mint


Correct Option: A

The special structures used by the climbers for climbing are

  1. Root

  2. Tendrils

  3. Stem

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Climbers are said to have a weak stem and cannot stand by their own so they evolve a mechanism and mostly modify either their leaves or part or leaf that helps them to climb the other plant or can attach with a wall or any other support.

So the correct option is 'Tendrils'.

Which of the following is not a creeper?

  1. Pumpkin

  2. Watermelon

  3. Sweet Potato

  4. Grapevine


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Creepers are weak plants that grow on ground with the help of fiber like roots that arise from the base of the stem.

ex- Pumpkin, Watermelon, and Sweet potato.
Climbers are the plant that climbs on a support by developing tendrils are modified stem that helps to bind the support.

ex-Bougainvillea and Grapevine.
So the correct option is 'Grapevine'

Which of the following plants possesses culm?

  1. Cuscuta

  2. Zingiber

  3. Bamboo

  4. Cocos


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Erect, unbranched stem with distinct nodes and internodes are called culm. Bamboo is a perennial evergreen stem which is characterized by a jointed stem called culm. So, the correct answer is 'Bamboo'.

Anatomically fairly old dicotyledonous root is distinguished from the dicotyledonous stem by :

  1. Position of protoxylem

  2. absence of secondary xylem

  3. Absence of secondary phloem

  4. Presence of cortex


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In the dicotyledonous roots, the protoxylem is located near the periphery of the vascular cylinder. It means away from the centre (exarch condition) and the metaxylem is towards the centre. In the dicotyledonous stem, the protoxylems are located near the centre of vascular bundle means endarch condition and the metaxylem are away from the centre. So, anatomically fairly old dicotyledonous root. One can distinguish it from the dicotyledonous stem by its position of protoxylem.

So, the correct answer is 'Position of protoxylem'.

The correct option is A.

Following are the comparisons between phylloclades and cladodes (cladophylls).

Phylloclade Cladode
(i) Both main stem and branches are modified to function like leaves. Only the branches are modified to take over the function of leaves.
(ii) Phylloclade has limited or definite growth. Cladode has unlimited or indefinite growth.
(iii) It consist of several nodes and internodes.  It is usually one internode long
(iv) True leaves are commonly caducous. True leaves are either reduced to scales or modified to spines.
(v) Example: Rescus aculeatus, Asparagus etc. Example:Opuntia, Euphorbia royleana etc.

Pick up the wrong difference and select the correct option.

  1. (i) and (ii)

  2. (ii) and (v)

  3. (iii) and (v)

  4. (ii) and (iv)

From the following, which plant has a disk-like stem?

  1. Pineapple

  2. Mango tree

  3. Banyan tree

  4. Onion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A disc-like stem is found in onion. This type of stem is called the bulb. It bears fleshy scale like leaves and at the terminal end it shows the presence of terminal bud.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Onion'

One internode long runner stem of aquatic plants is called

  1. Stolon

  2. Trailer

  3. Offset

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C

Succulent stem occurs in

Correct Option: C

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Annual rings are the number of

  1. Rings of vascular bundles in a monocot stem

  2. Layers of secondary xylem in a stem

  3. Internodes in a stem

  4. Both (b) and (c)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Each year, the tree forms new cells, arranged in concentric circles called annual rings or annual growth rings. These annual rings show the amount of wood produced during one growing season. As the stem grows, complete ring called the cambial ring is formed. Cambial ring leads to the formation of secondary xylem and secondary phloem. 

Hence, the correct answer is 'Layers of secondary xylem in a stem'.

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
During the secondary growth in the dicotyledonous stems the cork cambium gives rise to

  1. Secondary xylem and secondary phloem

  2. Secondary cortex and cork

  3. Pith and medullary rays

  4. Multicellular hairs


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cork cambium is a tissue found in many vascular plants as part of the epidermis. The cork cambium is a lateral meristem and is responsible for secondary growth that replaces the epidermis in roots and stems. It gives rise to cork outside and secondary cortex inside. 

Hence, the correct answer is 'Secondary cortex and cork'.
