Botany: questions and answer review

Try each question before opening its answer. Record the concept behind each mistake and revisit it during your next practice session.

231. Soil erosion is greater when ____?

مٹی کا کٹاؤ زیادہ ہوتا ہے جب ____؟

Check answer and explanation

Answer: The rainfall is received in heavy downpours

Explanation Heavy downpours cause rapid surface runoff , leading to greater soil erosion. Raindrop impact loosens soil particles , making them more susceptible to being washed away.

232. The carboxylation products of the C4 cycle are _______?

سی فور سائیکل کی کاربوکسیلیشن مصنوعات ______ ہیں؟

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Malate and aspartate

Explanation In the C4 cycle , CO₂ is initially fixed by PEP carboxylase into oxaloacetate, which is then converted into malate and aspartate. These compounds transport CO₂ to bundle sheath cells for the Calvin cycle . It enhancing efficiency in high-temperature environments.

233. Vascular cryptogams are:

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Pteridophytes

Explanation Pteridophytes are the first terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissue. A pteridophyte is a vascular plant (with xylem and phloem) that reproduces by means of spores. Because pteridophytes produce neithe r flowers nor seeds, They are sometimes referred to as "cryptogams", meaning that their means of reproduction is hidden.

234. Which is present only in animal cells while absent in higher plant cells?

اعلی پودوں کے خلیوں میں غیر حاضر رہتے ہوئے صرف جانوروں کے خلیوں میں کون سا موجود ہے؟

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Centriole

Explanation Centrioles are present only in animal cells . They are involved in cell division (spindle formation). Higher plant cells typically lack centrioles and instead organize their spindle fibers differently.

235. Glycolysis is ……..

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Takes place in Cytoplasm

Explanation Glycolysis, the metabolic pathway that conve rts glucose into pyruvate Takes place in the cytoplasm (s pecifically the cytosol) of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells . It acts as the initial stage of cellular respiration, occurring independently of oxygen t o produce a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH molecules. Additional Products: Generates 2 NADH.

236. The exchange of parts of non-sister chromatids of homologues chromosomes during meiosis is called?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Crossing over

Explanation The exchange of parts of non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is called Crossing over. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and "cross over," exchanging genetic material between their non-sister chromatids, resulting in new combinations of alleles.

237. The highly modified plant shoot in which a short stem is surrounded by thick fleshy leaves is called?

انتہائی ترمیم شدہ پودوں کی شوٹ جس میں ایک چھوٹا سا تنے گھنے موٹے مانسل پتے سے گھرا ہوا ہے؟

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Bulb

Explanation Bulb is an underground modified stem with a short stem surrounded by fleshy leaves that store food (e.g., Onion, Garlic). It helps plants survive unfavorable conditions and regrow when conditions improve.

238. Which of the following is necessary for biological nitrogen fixation?

حیاتیاتی نائٹروجن طے کرنے کے لئے مندرجہ ذیل میں سے کون سا ضروری ہے؟

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Molybdenum

Explanation Nitrogenase enzyme requires molybdenum. It helps convert atmospheric N₂ into ammonia. Leguminous plants rely on this process. Deficiency reduces nitrogen fixation. I t is essential for symbiotic bacteria in root nodules. Last updated question 17-02-2026

239. Minerals absorbed by roots move to leaf through _____?

جڑوں سے جذب معدنیات _____ کے ذریعے پتے میں جاتے ہیں؟

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Xylem

Explanation Xylem transports water and minerals absorbed by roots to the leaves. This movement occurs through transpiration pull and capillary action.

240. Which plant tissues provides mechanical support to young stems and growing parts

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Collenchyma

Explanation The living simple tissue that provides support to the growing parts of a plant is collenchyma . Collenchyma is a simple permanent tissue . The cells are thickened at the corners due to the deposition of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. It provides mechanical support to the young, growing parts of the plant.
