21. Phytoalexins are like antifungal or fungistatic substances produced by the host as defensive measure after infection and are generally ______?

فائٹولیکسین اینٹی فنگل یا فنگسٹٹک مادوں کی طرح ہیں جو میزبان کے ذریعہ انفیکشن کے بعد دفاعی اقدام کے طور پر تیار ہوتے ہیں اور عام طور پر ______ ہوتے ہیں؟

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Phenolic compounds

Explanation Phytoalexins are antimicrobial compounds synthesized by plants in response to pathogen attacks, primarily consisting of phenolic compounds. These compounds help restrict pathogen growth and prevent further infection.

22. Which of the following statements is incorrect about Cycas?

سائکاس کے بارے میں درج ذیل میں سے کون سا بیان غلط ہے؟

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Cycas have vessel elements in their xylem.

Explanation The statement that Cycas have vessel elements in their xylem is incorrect. Cycas, like other gymnosperms, do not have vessel elements; instead, they have tracheids for water conduction. Vessel elements are a characteristic of angiosperms (flowering plants). Cycas are gymnosperms and produce seeds, but they do not form flowers, and their leaves are typically pinnately compound.

23. The primary producers of organic matter in nature are _____?

فطرت میں نامیاتی مادے کے بنیادی پروڈیوسر _____ ہیں؟

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Green plants

Explanation Green plants are primary producers because they convert sunlight into organic matter through photosynthesis . They form the base of the food chain . It producing oxygen and energy-rich compounds essential for life.

24. Which one is odd? Poaceae, Asteraceae, Capitulum head

کون سا عجیب ہے؟

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Capitulum head

Explanation Poaceae and Asteraceae are plant families. While Capitulum head is an inflorescence type. Since the first two are taxonomic groups and the third is a floral structure . Capitulum head is the odd one out.

25. The process of movement of water through a plant from roots to leaves is primarily driven by?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Capillary action

Explanation Transpiration is ultimately the main driver of water movement in xylem, combined with the effects of capillary action. The cohesion-tension model works like this: Transpiration (evaporation) occurs because stomata in the leaves are open to allow gas exchange for photosynthesis.

26. Geotropism is a tropic movement of plants in response to _____?

جیوٹروپزم _____ کے جواب میں پودوں کی اشنکٹبندیی تحریک ہے؟

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Gravity

Explanation Geotropism is the growth response of plants toward or away from gravity . Roots show positive geotropism (grow downward) and shoots show negative geotropism (grow upward).

بایو پولیمر جو فنگل سیر بناتا ہے؟

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Chitin

Other components, such as mannoproteins, are also present in the outer layer, contributing to the wall's integrity and function.

28. The central metal atom in chlorophyll is?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Magnesium

Explanation The central metal atom in chlorophyll is Magnesium . Chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants, has a magnesium atom at its core, which is crucial for its function in photosynthesis.

30. Nephrolepis prothallus is:

Check answer and explanation

Answer: Haploid

Explanation The prothallus of Nephrolepis (a type of fern) is haploid. The prothallus is haploid, since it grew from a spore which had been formed by meiosis. It does not have any vascular tissue and uses small rhizoids to anchor it to the ground. On the underside of the prothallus the sex organs form.
