- B. Flowers
- C. Leaves
- D. Base of the plant
Explanation: Auxin is a plant hormone that is primarily produced in the shoot tips and young leaves.
Correct answer: Base of the plant- A. Chlamydemonas
- B. Mimesa pudica
- C. Oxalis
- D. Crocus

- B. Cuticle
- C. Chitin
- D. Lignin
Explanation: Cellulose is a tough, fibrous, and water-insoluble polysaccharide that plays an integral role in keeping the structure of plant cell walls…
Correct answer: Cuticle- A. Red light
- B. Blue light
- C. Sunlight
- D. Green light
Explanation: Greenlight range spectrum is considered as least effective for the process of photosynthesis: The wavelength of green light is thought to…
Correct answer: Green light- A. corymbs
- B. umbel
- C. catkin
- D. panicle
Explanation: The pedicel is a stalk or stem that supports a single flower. It connects the single flower to the inflorescence.

- A. Xylem
- B. Collenchyma
- C. Sclerenchyma
- D. Parenchyma
Explanation: Collenchyma is living tissue that provides support to the plant as it has extra cellulose deposited in its cell wall the cell wall is…
Correct answer: Collenchyma- A. Stomata are opened
- B. Day is humid
- C. Concentration of CO2 inside the leaf is high
- D. Concentration of O2 inside leaf is high
Explanation: Photorespiration occurs when Rubisco, an enzyme involved in photosynthesis, binds with O2 instead of CO2.
Correct answer: Concentration of O2 inside leaf is high- A. Nepenthes
- B. Utricularia
- C. Dionea
- D. Sundew
Explanation: Drosera or sundew is a carnivorous plant found in moist, acidic, and nutrient-deficient soils.
Correct answer: Utricularia- A. Sugar
- B. pH
- C. Potassium
- D. All of the above
Explanation: The opening and closing of stomata are primarily controlled by the conversion of starch to sugar and vice versa in guard cells.
Correct answer: Sugar19673. Mangroves are:

- B. Root pressure
- C. Tensile strength
- D. All of these
Explanation: Guttation is the process by which plants excrete excess water in the form of droplets through specialized structures called hydathodes.
