  • B. 70% of angiosperms
  • C. 70% of gymnosperms
  • D. 90% of angiosperms

Explanation: Answer is "90% of angiosperms"Explanation: Mycorrhizal fungi get sugar and shelter from the plant, and in exchange increase the plant's…

Correct answer: 90% of angiosperms
  • A. 200 meters
  • B. 400 feet
  • C. 300 meters
  • D. 500 feet

Explanation: The correct answer is "200 meters." Xylem water tension, a result of transpiration and the cohesive and adhesive properties of water, can…

Correct answer: 200 meters
  • A. 100 times
  • B. 200 times
  • C. 300 times
  • D. 150 times

Explanation: The correct answer is "200 times." During the process of imbibition, seeds absorb a significant amount of water, causing their volume to…

Correct answer: 200 times
  • A. Metabolism
  • B. Respiration
  • C. Photosynthesis
  • D. Vernalization

Explanation: The correct answer is Photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use about 1% of the absorbed water to convert carbon dioxide and light…

Correct answer: Photosynthesis
  • A. Cuticular transpiration
  • B. Stomatal transpiration
  • C. Lenticular transpiration
  • D. None of these

Explanation: The correct answer is Lenticular transpiration. This type of transpiration occurs through lenticels, which are unique to woody plants and…

Correct answer: Lenticular transpiration
  • A. Gibberellins
  • B. Ethylene
  • C. Abscisic acid
  • D. Cytokinins

Explanation: The correct answer is Abscisic acid. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that plays a critical role in regulating the closure of…

Correct answer: Abscisic acid
  • A. Increased
  • B. Does not change
  • C. Decreased
  • D. First increased and then decreased

Explanation: The correct answer is "Decreased." When leaves transpire, they lose water vapor, which decreases the water potential of the mesophyll…

Correct answer: Decreased
  • A. 1 meter/8 years
  • B. 1 meter/day
  • C. 1 meter/hour
  • D. 20 cm/min

Explanation: The correct answer is "1 meter/hour" because studies have shown that the average velocity of sugar transport in the phloem is…

Correct answer: 1 meter/hour
  • A. Capillarity
  • B. Role of atmospheric pressure
  • C. Pulsating action of living cells
  • D. Transpiration cohesion theory of Dixon

Explanation: The transpiration cohesion theory states that water molecules in the xylem of a tree are held together by cohesion, or the attraction…

Correct answer: Transpiration cohesion theory of Dixon
  • A. Gibberellins, Leaf fall
  • B. Cytokinin, Cell division
  • C. IAA, Cell wall elongation
  • D. Abscissic acid, Stomatal closure

Explanation: Gibberellins promote leaf growth and fruit growth and sometimes can induce parthenocarpy.

Correct answer: Gibberellins, Leaf fall
  • A. It releases wound hormones.
  • B. It induces the differentiation of new shoots
  • C. It frees axillary buds from apical dominance.
  • D. The apical shoot grows faster after pruning.

Explanation: (c) : Prunning is the process of cutting shoot tips to promote lateral growth of branches.

Correct answer: It frees axillary buds from apical dominance.
  • A. Meristems
  • B. Epistcms
  • C. Peristems
  • D. Mesostems
  • E. Cyclostems

Explanation: "The explanation for this question will be added soon!".

Correct answer: Meristems
  • A. 5°C to 10°C

  • C. 18°C to 28°C
  • D. 28°C to 30°C
  • E. 25°C to 37°C

Explanation: Most of the enzyme work optimally in between 25°C to 37°C. Many enzymes work optimally within a specific temperature range, typically…

Correct answer: 25°C to 37°C
  • A. Acetic Acid
