In the symbiotic relationship, rhizobia supply ammonia to the plant and in return receive:
1. Simple sugars
2. Fatty acids
3. Organic acids like malate and succinate
4. Amino acids
Plant growth and development mainly depend on:
1. nitrogen; phosphorus; oxygen
2. potassium; carbon; calcium
3. oxygen; carbon; hydrogen
4. phosphorus; nitrogen; potassium
If the leaves of whole plant show chlorosis, the mineral nutrient most likely to be deficient would be:
1. boron
2. manganese
3. nitrogen
4. calcium
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
Mineral |
Function |
|
1. |
Nitrogen |
component of nucleic acids, proteins, hormones, coenzymes |
2. |
Magnesium |
component of chlorophyll; activates many enzymes |
3. |
Phosphorus |
component of nucleic acids, phospholipids, ATP, several coenzymes |
4. |
Sulfur |
component of DNA; activates some enzymes |
The formation and stability of plant cell walls mainly requires:
1. | iron | 2. | magnesium |
3. | calcium | 4. | molybdenum |
To regenerate phospophenolpyruvate, C4 and CAM plants require:
1. Boron
2. Manganese
3. Magnesium
4. Sodium
Micronutrients in plants generally act:
1. as cofactors in enzymatic reactions.
2. to enhance regulatory functions.
3. to prevent chlorosis.
4. in the formation of cell walls.
Essential micronutrients in plants:
I. are required in relatively small amounts.
II. are required for a plant to grow from a seed and complete its life cycle.
III. generally help in catalytic functions in the plant.
IV. are of small size and molecular weight.
1. Only I, II and III are correct
2. Only I, II and IV are correct
3. Only II, III and IV are correct
4. All are correct
A condition in which leaves produce insufficient chlorophyll leading to pale, yellow, or yellow-white leaves is called as:
1. Wilting
2. Etiolation
3. Chlorosis
4. Mosaicism
Necrosis of young leaves is a symptom of deficiency of calcium in plants indicating that calcium:
1. is a relatively immobile nutrient in plants.
2. is tied up in formed chlorophyll molecules.
3. is concentrated in the xylem of older leaves.
4. is concentrated in older leaves.
