Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    4 / -1

    Hydroponics refers to growing plant in

    Solution

    The technique of growing plants in a nutrient solution is known as hydroponics.

  • Question 2
    4 / -1

    Zn2+ is an activator of

    Solution

    Zn2+ is an activator of alcohol dehydrogenase and Mo of nitrogenase during nitrogen metabolism.

  • Question 3
    4 / -1

    Those essential element which occur in 1-10 mg/g of dry matter are

    Solution

    The correct option is Option A.

    Macroelements (Macronutrients) are those essential elements which are present in easily detectable quantities, 1-10 mg per gram of dry matter. Macroelements are usually involved in the synthesis of organic molecules and development of osmotic potential. They are nine in number — C, H, O, N, P, K, S, Mg and Ca.

    The nutrient required in larger quantity is called macronutrients. Those essential elements which occur in 1-10mg/g quantity is called macronutrients.
     

  • Question 4
    4 / -1

    Influx and efflux of H+ ions inside the cell change the

    Solution

    pH of a solution is depends upon hydrogen ions concentration. Influx and efflux of H+ ions inside the cell change the pH of solution present in soil.

  • Question 5
    4 / -1

    Nitrification involves

    Solution

    In nitrification, ammonia is first converted to nitrites (NO2-) and then to nitrates. During nitritation, nitrosomonas convert NH3 (ammonia) into NO2 (nitrogen dioxide). The chemical equation for this process is 

    NH3 + 1.5 O2 --> NO2- + H+ + H20. 

    The second part of the nitrification process is called nitration.

  • Question 6
    4 / -1

    It is the technique of growing plants in above-ground strands provided with fine mist of normal solution.

    Solution

    Aeroponics is the technique of growing plants in above ground strands provided with fine mist of normal solution. It is used to know the deficiency symptoms of minerals.

  • Question 7
    4 / -1

    Which is an important constituent of protein involved in transfer of electrons?

    Solution

    Plants obtain iron in the form of ferric ions (Fe3+). It is required in larger amounts in comparison to other micronutrients. It is an important constituent of proteins involved in the transfer of electrons like ferredoxin.

  • Question 8
    4 / -1

    Which two minerals are not needed by the majority of plants but very much needed by almost all animals?

    Solution

    Sodium and Iodine minerals are not needed by the majority of plants but sodium and iodine minerals are very much needed by almost all animals. Sodium play important role in nervous system and iodine for synthesis thyroxine hormone.

  • Question 9
    4 / -1

    Minerals present in the soil are absorbed by

    Solution

    Most of the minerals present in soil can enter plants through roots.

  • Question 10
    4 / -1

    The process of decomposition organic nitrogen into ammonia is known as

    Solution

    Decomposition of organic nitrogen of dead plants and animals into ammonia is called ammonification.Some of this ammonia volatilises and re-enters the atmosphere but most of it is converted into nitrate by soilBacteria.

  • Question 11
    4 / -1

    Plant with zinc deficiency show reduced biosynthesis of

    Solution

    Plants obtain zinc as Zn2+ ions. It activates various enzymes,especially carboxylases. It is also needed in the synthesis of auxin.If there is deficiency in zinc to plants then it leads to reduced synthesis of auxin.

  • Question 12
    4 / -1

    The ion which activates many enzymes involved in photosynthesis,respiration, nitrogen metabolism is

    Solution

    It is absorbed in the form of manganous ions (Mn2+). Itactivates many enzymes involved in photosynthesis, respiration and nitrogen metabolism.

  • Question 13
    4 / -1

    In plant, nitrate is reduced to ammonia state in two steps. In second step electrons are donated by

    Solution

    During ammonification process involve conversion of nitrate into ammonia. This process involves two steps. Second steps require electron that is donated by Ferredoxin.

  • Question 14
    4 / -1

    Entry of ions into cells is called

    Solution

    Entry of ions into cells is called influx. Influx takes place actively against the concentration gradient by utilization of energy through plasmodesmata of plant cells.

  • Question 15
    4 / -1

    Name the best known symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacterium is

    Solution

    N2−fixing bacteria, especially roots of legumes, can fix this atmospheric nitrogen into biologically usable forms. Nitrogen fixation requires a strong reducing agent and energy in the form of ATP. Nitrogen-fixation is accomplished with the help of nitrogenfixingmicrobes mainly rhizobium.

  • Question 16
    4 / -1

    Element present in middle lamella

    Solution

    Calcium is required by meristematic and differentiating tissues. During cell division it is used in the synthesis of cell wall, particularly as calcium pectate in the middle lamella.

  • Question 17
    4 / -1

    Micronutrients are otherwise called as

    Solution

    Micronutrients or trace elements, are needed in very small amounts(less than 10 mole Kg –1 of dry matter). These include iron, manganese, copper, molybdenum, zinc, boron, chlorine and nickel.

  • Question 18
    4 / -1

    Most active nitrogen fixer in Rice field is

    Solution

    Rice field contains large number of nitrogen fixing algae and bacteria. In which Aulosira fertilissima is most active nitrogen fixer in the rice field.

  • Question 19
    4 / -1

    Which one of the following organism help in absorption of phosphorus from soil by plants

    Solution

    Glomus is a kind of algae found in soil. This organism help in absorption of phosphorous form soil by plants.

  • Question 20
    4 / -1

    The nitrogen exists as two nitrogen atoms joined by

    Solution

    Nitrogen exists as two nitrogen atoms joined by a very strong triple covalent bond (N ≡ N).

  • Question 21
    4 / -1

    The most abundant element found in plants is

    Solution

    Carbon is one of the macronutrients present in the plants. It is the most abundant element found in plants. Carbon is a constiuent of organic compounds. It is one of the non-mineral element. Carbohydrates like sugars, starches and cellulose are the important organic compounds composed of carbon present in plants.

  • Question 22
    4 / -1

    The elements involved in delay of flowering if their concentration is low are

    Solution

    Some elements like N, S, Mo delay flowering if their concentration in plants is low.

  • Question 23
    4 / -1

    Which one is not a reason of mineral depletion in the soil?

    Solution

    Mineral deficiency is soil may be due to use of high yielding varieties, non-rotation of crops and leeching of minerals. Growing leguminous plants do not deplete the mineral in soil.

  • Question 24
    4 / -1

    Element required for germination of pollen grain is

    Solution

    Elements play important role in completing life cycles of plants. Element required for germination of pollen grain is Boron.

  • Question 25
    4 / -1

    The process of conversion of nitrogen in to ammonia is known as
