1. | Growth is primarily expressed as increase in number of cells at the root apical meristem in maize. |
2. | Growth is primarily represented as increase in size of cells in watermelons. |
3. | Growth of a pollen tube is measured in terms of its girth. |
4. | An increase in surface area denotes the growth in a dorsiventral leaf. |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the arithmetic growth?
1. | Following mitosis, both daughter cells continue to divide |
2. | Can be exemplified by root elongating at a constant rate |
3. | On plotting the length of the organ against time, a linear curve is obtained |
4. | Mathematically it is expressed as |
The shape of the growth curve characteristic of a living organism growing in natural environment is:
1. | Linear | 2. | Sigmoid |
3. | Hyperbola | 4. | Bell shaped |
I: | measurement and the comparison of total growth per unit time is called the absolute growth rate. |
II: | the growth of the given system per unit time expressed on a common basis, e.g., per unit initial parameter is called the relative growth rate. |
Consider the given diagram and select the correct inference:
1. | Both leaves have shown different absolute growths |
2. | First leaf has exhibited growth but second leaf has not as it is already senescent |
3. | The relative growth of first leaf is more than that of the second leaf |
4. | Both leaves have exhibited equal relative growths |
Plant growth and further development is intimately linked to water status of the plant because:
A. Turgidity of cells helps in extension growth
B. It provides medium for enzymatic activity
1. Both A and B are correct
2. Only A is correct
3. Only B is correct
4. Both A and B are incorrect
I: | Turgidity of cells helps in extension growth. |
II: | Water provides the medium for enzymatic activities needed for growth. |
III: | Oxygen helps in releasing metabolic energy essential for growth activities. |
IV: | Nutrients (macro and micro essential elements) are required for the synthesis of protoplasm and act as source of energy. |
The optimum temperature range for proper growth in most plants is:
1. | \(0^\circ C - 100^\circ C\) | 2. | \(15^\circ C - 20^\circ C\) |
3. | \(28^\circ C - 30^\circ C\) | 4. | \(45^\circ C\) | Greater than
I: | Formation of a tumour. |
II: | Parenchyma cells made to divide under controlled laboratory conditions during plant tissue culture. |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
