Questions Related to pollination through water

Among hydrophytes, finely dissected leaves occur in

  1. Rooted floating leaved plants

  2. Submerged plants

  3. Emerged plants

  4. Free floating plants


Correct Option: B

In submerged hydrophytes, the stomata occur

  1. On lower surface

  2. On the upper surface

  3. No where

  4. On both the surfaces


Correct Option: C

Mechanical tissue is undeveloped inĀ 

  1. Xerophytes

  2. Hydrophytes

  3. Halophytes

  4. Mesophytes


Correct Option: B

A characteristic feature of hydrophytes is

  1. Aerenchyma

  2. Well developed phloem

  3. Floating leaves

  4. Submerged leaves


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Aerenchyma is a spongy tissue that forms spaces or air channels in the leaves, stems and roots of submerged and aquatic plants. The floating leaves are there due to this feature of aerenchyma only. The aquatic plants or hydrophytes do not have submerged leaves or a well developed phloem, So the correct answer is 'Aerenchyma.'

Waxy coating on the surface of floating leaves prevents

  1. Respiration

  2. Photosynthesis

  3. Clogging of stomata

  4. Transpiration


Correct Option: C

Submerged hydrophytes exchange gases through

  1. Stomata

  2. Hydathodes

  3. Lenticels

  4. General surface


Correct Option: D

Hydrophyte with both hydrophytic and xerophytic traits is

  1. Agave

  2. Nerium

  3. Vallisneria

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: D

Root cap is absent in

  1. Halophytes

  2. Hydrophytes

  3. Xerophytes

  4. Homophytes


Correct Option: B

One of the following is not true for hydrophytes _____________.

  1. Vessels are usually absent

  2. Cuticle is poorly developed

  3. Tracheids are absent

  4. Air chambers are well developed


Correct Option: C

Root system is poorly developed in

  1. Hyphaene

  2. Hydrilla

  3. Halophytes

  4. Hygrophytes


Correct Option: B
