Which one of the following is the earliest land plant?

  1. Rhynia

  2. Homea

  3. Cordite's

  4. Cook Sonia
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Rhynia is a genus of extinct vascular plants from the Early Devonian period, representing some of the earliest land plants. It lacked true roots and leaves, consisting only of simple stems with vascular tissue. The other options appear to be garbled or misspelled names that don't represent early land plant groups.

Which one is concerned with the temporary adaptation ?

  1. Phytomelanin

  2. Melanin

  3. Tannin

  4. Anthocyanin
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Phytomelanin is a dark, carbon-rich pigment layer found in the pericarp of certain plants (like Asteraceae seeds), which serves as a temporary protective adaptation against environmental stress or predation. The other options are permanent biochemical components.

Finely dissected leaf may be an adaptation of

  1. xerophytes

  2. psammophytes

  3. halophytes

  4. hydrophytes
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Many hydrophytes have production of different forms of leaves in the same plant i.e., heterophylly. In submerged aquatics with free-floating aerial leaves, the submerged leaves are generally linear, ribbon-shaped or finely dissected while the aerial leaves are complete and rounded or lobed.


So, the correct answer is " hydrophytes ".

Which one of the following sets consists only of xerophytes plants?

  1. Suhabool, Teak, Eucalyptus, mango

  2. Baman, Acacia, Ziziphus, teak

  3. Safflower, eucalyptus, asparagus, acacia

  4. Acacia, prosopis, ziziphus, opuntia
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Xerophytes are plants adapted to survive in environments with little liquid water. Acacia, Prosopis, Ziziphus, and Opuntia are classic examples of xerophytic plants found in arid or desert regions.

Read the following statements about adaptations in desert plants and select the correct ones. 
(i) They have a thick cuticle on their leaf surface 
(ii) They have stomata present in deep sunken pits. 
(iii) They use CAM pathway for photosynthesis.
(iv) They have flattened stems and large sized leaves.
(v) Their stomata remain closed during the day.  

  1. (i), (ii) and (iii)

  2. (ii), (iii) and (v)

  3. (i), (ii) and (iv)

  4. (i), (ii), (iii) and (v)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Xerophytes can withstand a prolonged period of drought, for this purpose they have certain peculiar adaptations. Thick cuticle is present in these plants. Stomata are generally sunken (deep seated) and open during night only. They have CAM pathway for photosynthesis. Leaves are generally small and scaly. Sometimes leaves are modified into spines to reduce water loss through transpiration.They generally have an extensive root system and a smaller shoot system.Stems may be modified to phylloclades or dadoes to carry out the function of photosynthesis.
So, the correct answer is '(i), (ii), (iii) and (v)'.

The correct sequence of plants in hydrosphere is :

  1. $Oak \rightarrow Lantana \rightarrow Volvox \rightarrow Hydrilla \rightarrow Pistia \rightarrow Scirpus$
  2. $Oak \rightarrow Lantana \rightarrow Scirpus \rightarrow Pistia \rightarrow Hydrilla \rightarrow Volvox $
  3. $Volvox \rightarrow Hydrilla \rightarrow Pistia \rightarrow Scirpus \rightarrow Lantana \rightarrow Oak$
  4. $Pistia \rightarrow Volvox \rightarrow Scirpus \rightarrow Hydrilla \rightarrow Oak \rightarrow Lantana$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The hydrosere succession typically moves from submerged plants (Volvox, Hydrilla) to floating plants (Pistia), then to reed-swamp stages (Scirpus), and finally to terrestrial stages (Lantana, Oak).

Plants which grow in shade are called

  1. Sciophytes

  2. Heliophytes

  3. Oxylophytes

  4. Epiphytes
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Sciophytes are plants that are adapted to grow in low-light or shaded conditions. Heliophytes prefer full sun, while Oxylophytes grow in acidic soil.

Resource partinotiong can only take place when

  1. Species have different feeding manner

  2. Species only have different foraging manner.. no matters feeding type different or same

  3. Different fedding and foraging time

  4. None
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Resource partitioning is the phenomenon of evolutionary changes seen in species in response to the selection pressure generated by interspecific competition. Due to this, no two organisms within the same species can coexist in the same niche if they have same resources. They have different foraging manner whether feeding type is different or same. Example of resource partitioning involves two tigers present in their own territories or niches and defending it from other tigers. 

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
