A. Carbon dioxide
B. Oxygen
C. Nitrogen
D. Hydrogen
Answer: Oxygen is released as a by-product of photosynthesis.
A. Only green parts
B. All living cells
C. Only roots
D. Only stomata
Answer: All living plant cells respire continuously to release energy.
A. Xylem
B. Phloem
C. Lenticels
D. Hydathodes
Answer: Phloem translocates organic food from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
A. Glucose
B. Sucrose
C. Lactose
D. Maltose
Answer: Sucrose is the main form in which sugar is transported in the phloem of most plants.
A. Only upward, from the roots to the leaves
B. In both directions
C. Only downward
D. Only sideways
Answer: Xylem conducts water and minerals in only one direction, upward from the roots.
A. At noon on hot days
B. Early in the morning when humidity is high
C. During windy storms
D. After severe wilting
Answer: In the early morning, transpiration is low and root pressure is high, so guttation occurs.
A. It cools the plant
B. It occurs mainly through the stomata
C. It completely stops at night
D. Wind increases its rate
Answer: Transpiration is greatly reduced at night but does not stop completely.
A. Oxygen
B. Carbon dioxide
C. Methane
D. Ammonia
Answer: Oxygen is given out as a by-product of photosynthesis.
A. The youngest leaves
B. The older leaves
C. The roots
D. The petals
Answer: Nitrogen is mobile, so it moves to young parts, and the older leaves show deficiency symptoms first.
A. Humidity is high, root pressure is high and transpiration is low
B. There is dry wind and bright sunlight
C. Stomata are fully open at midday
D. Root pressure is low
Answer: High humidity with high root pressure and low transpiration forces water out through the hydathodes.
A. Respiration
B. Reproduction
C. Digestion
D. Excretion
Answer: Reproduction is the biological process by which organisms produce offspring of their own kind, ensuring the continuity of species.
A. Stigma
B. Ovary
C. Rootstock
D. Anther
Answer: Grafting joins an upper stem piece (scion) to a rooted part (rootstock) so they grow together as one plant.
A. Cross-pollination
B. Self-pollination
C. Fragmentation
D. Vegetative propagation
Answer: When pollen travels between flowers of different plants of the same species, the process is called cross-pollination.
A. Sexual reproduction
B. Both types
C. Neither type
D. Asexual reproduction
Answer: Asexual reproduction involves a single parent and does not require the fusion of gametes.
A. Stop plant growth
B. Combine desirable qualities of two plants
C. Produce spores
D. Form fruits without flowers
Answer: Grafting combines the strong roots of one plant (stock) with the desirable stem or fruit of another (scion).
A. Always different from the parent
B. Completely new species
C. Identical to the parent
D. Half parental
Answer: Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical clones of the single parent.
A. Pollen grain
B. Stem
C. Root
D. Leaf
Answer: Vegetative propagation uses vegetative parts such as stems, roots and leaves, but not pollen grains, which are reproductive parts.
A. Germination
B. Pollination
C. Parthenogenesis
D. Parthenocarpy
Answer: Parthenocarpy is the development of a fruit without fertilization, as seen in bananas and seedless grapes.
A. Root
B. Stem
C. Leaf
D. Flower
Answer: The potato tuber is a swollen underground stem that bears buds (eyes) which grow into new plants.
A. Root
B. Flower
C. Leaf
D. Stem
Answer: Bryophyllum bears buds along the margins of its leaves, and each bud can develop into a new plant.
