Movement stimulated by external factor is

evs seed becomes plant germination of seed seed germination journey of seed

  1. Spontaneous movement

  2. Autonomic movement

  3. Physical movement

  4. Paratonic movement

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Autonomic movement is the spontaneous movement of the protoplasm seen in aquatic plants due to internal stimulus. It is not related to the external stimulus. Movement of cilia and flagella is an example of autonomic movement. A movement shown by a plant part in response to an external factor is called as paratonic movement. In this, the direction of movement is controlled by the direction of the stimulus. 

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Seeds which do not germinate in the dark are called as

evs seed becomes plant germination of seed seed germination journey of seed

  1. Positive photoblastic

  2. Negative photoblastic

  3. Non-photoblastic

  4. None of the aboove

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Positive photoblastic seeds require white light to germinate in dark the growth does not occur. this response is controlled by phytochromes and includes the plants like mango, wheat etc.

So the correct option is 'Positive photoblastic'.

Vivipary may be described as

evs seed becomes plant germination of seed seed germination journey of seed

  1. Germination of seed with cotyledons above the soil

  2. Germination of seed with cotyledons under the soil

  3. Formation of a fruit without pollination

  4. Development of a seedling within an attached fruit

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Vivipary is a condition where the embryo derives nutrition from the parent and is attached it attains maturity. In plants, vivipary refers to the development of a seedling within an attached fruit so that the seedling can derive nutrition.

So, the correct answer is 'Development of a seedling within an attached fruit'

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
The ripening of fruits can be accelerated by:

  1. artificially adding ethylene gas to the atmosphere surrounding them

  2. warming the surroundings artificially

  3. keeping the fruits in a refrigerator

  4. reducing water supply to the plant when the fruits are maturing

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ethylene is highly effective in fruit ripening. It enhances the respiration rate during ripening of the fruits. 

So, the correct option is 'artificially adding ethylene gas to the atmosphere surrounding them'.

The three conditions necessary for germination of seeds are 
evs seed becomes plant germination of seed seed germination journey of seed

  1. Oxygen, suitable temperature and water

  2. Good soil, suitable temperature and light

  3. Good soil, Water and Air

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All seeds need water, oxygen, and proper temperature in order to germinate. Some seeds require proper light also. Some germinate better in full light while others require darkness to germinate. When a seed is exposed to the proper conditions, water and oxygen are taken in through the seed coat. 

Hence, the correct answer is 'All of the above'

Select the correct option:


The respiration in germinating seeds produces energy which can be detected in the form of ___________.

evs seed becomes plant germination of seed seed germination journey of seed

  1. Water

  2. Heat

  3. Oxygen

  4. ${CO} _{2}$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
During germination, the respiration rate of seed is very high which releases a very high amount of energy and around 30 to 40% of energy is converted into ATP and utilize by the plant for its growth and rest is evolved in the form of heat which can be detected.
So the correct option is 'Heat'.
