Study Notes

Plant Physiology Test 3

  • Test Details: Test 3, 2024-1, taken November 21, 2024, 11:33 AM - 12:57 PM. Duration: 1 hour, 23 minutes.
  • Grade: 76.00 out of 100.00; Marks: 38.00/50.00
  • Questions Covered: Multiple choice questions covering plant hormones, tropisms, and other plant processes.

Question 1

  • Hormone for Adventitious Roots: Auxin

Question 2

  • Plant Hormone for Grape Juice Production (Partially Correct): Auxin and Gibberellin.

Question 3

  • Type of Tropism in Diagram: Positive geotropism

Question 4

  • Auxin Concentration and Axillary Buds: High auxin concentration promotes axillary bud development, while low concentration inhibits axillary bud growth in coleus plant.

Question 5

  • Epidermal Tissue Bending in Shoots: Auxin causes cell elongation in the shoot apical meristem. In phototropism, light causes auxin to accumulate on the shaded side, triggering increased cell elongation, and causing the shoot to bend towards the light. This process occurs in the ground tissue layer.

Question 6

  • Shoot Apical Meristem and Bending: The shoot apical meristem isn't responsible for the bending due to cell elongation, which happens in the ground tissue layer during phototropism. (False)

Question 7

  • Hormone for Fruit Ready for Pastry: Ethylene

Question 8

  • Auxin and Cytokinin Concentration: Auxin promotes root formation, while cytokinin promotes shoot formation

Question 9

  • Tropism in Diagram: Positive geotropism

Question 10

  • Gibberellin and Fruit Ripening: (False). Gibberellin doesn't promote fruit ripening.

Question 11

  • Photoperiodism: Is the plant's response to changes in the length of the night, impacting flowering in long-day and short-day plants.
  • Parthenocarpy: Development of fruit without fertilization.
  • Tropism in Video: Thigmotropism

Question 12

  • Cytokinins and Cell Division: Cytokinins promote cell division. (True)

Question 13

  • Multicellular Swelling at Leaf Base: Pulvini

Question 14

  • Plant Hormone for Root Development: Auxin

Question 15

  • Auxin Precursors: Indole-ethanol, indoleacetaldehyde, and indoleacetonitrile are auxin precursors. (True)

Question 16

  • Plant Movement in Response to Stimulus: Taxis

Question 17

  • Hormone for Germination and Dormant Bud Growth: Gibberellins

Question 18

  • Molecules Not Contributing to Guard Cell Flaccidity: PO4 (Phosphate)

Question 19

  • Phytochromes and Red Light: Phytochromes are photo-receptors that receive red light. (True)
