Plant Biology and Classification Questions
-
It consist of five groups
-
It was formulated in the year 1969
-
Group was separated from the plant kingdom
-
Virus was included in the group protista
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Viruses are not included in any of the five kingdoms in Whittaker's classification because they are considered acellular and do not fit the criteria for living organisms in that system.
-
Linnaeus
-
Kohl
-
Eichler
-
Karl Mac
C
Correct answer
Explanation
August Wilhelm Eichler is known for his system of plant classification, which divided the plant kingdom into Cryptogamae (non-seed plants) and Phanerogamae (seed plants).

-
Transports food
-
Mechanical strength
-
Cell division
-
Conduction of water
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Meristematic tissue in plants consists of undifferentiated cells that are actively dividing, allowing for plant growth.
-
Stoneflies
-
Euhrychiopsis lecontei
-
Greasewood
-
Lichens
-
Mollusca
B
Correct answer
Explanation
A keystone species is a species whose addition to or loss from an ecosystem leads to major changes in abundance or occurrence of at least one other species. One example is the herbivourous weevil Euhrychiopsis lecontei and its suggested keystone effects on aquatic plant species diversity by foraging on nuisance Eurasian Watermilfoil.

-
Hill bunt
-
White rust
-
Black rot
-
Bacterial blight
C
Correct answer
Explanation
This is the correct answer as Brassica is resistant to white rust.
-
Leucoplast
-
Chloroplast
-
Cystoplast
-
Endoplast
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Leucoplasts are non-pigmented plastids found in plant cells that specialize in the storage of starch (amyloplasts), lipids (elaioplasts), or proteins (proteinoplasts). Chloroplasts are green and used for photosynthesis.
-
cystoplast
-
endoplast
-
tonoplast
-
chiroplast
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The tonoplast is the cytoplasmic membrane that surrounds the vacuole of a plant cell, separating the vacuolar contents from the cytoplasm.

epidermis
-
endodermis
-
dermis
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Collenchyma is a supporting tissue in plants that is often found in the hypodermis of stems and leaves, providing structural support while allowing for growth.
-
