The largest ovules are found among a) Monocots b) Dicots c) Gymnosperms d) Angiosperms 9. _________ is an example of a plant which bears seeds but not fruit. a) Cyas b) Pea c) Pinus d) Selaginella 10. Which one is not true regarding energy flow through ecosystem? a) Energy inflows balance outflows b) Even energy transfer is accompanied by dispersion of energy into non available heat c) The organism near the begining of the food chain gets smaller amount of energy d) A shorter food chain can support a larger amount of organisms 11. Spot the organisms that are not symbionts. a) Rhizobium and root of legume plant b) Nostoc and coalliod root of Cycas c) Algae and Fungi d) Vanda and an angiosprem plant 12. The natural cycling of carbon between the organisms and the environment is accomplished through the process of a) Photosynthesis and respiration b) Radiation and immigration c) Fermentation and oxidation d) Isolation and dispersal 13. Motile sperm cells are found in all the following except: a) Cycas b) Funaria c) Pteris d) Rhizopus 14. __________ is an example of symbiotic association of an organism. a) Alage b) Fungi c) Bacteria d) Root nodule of legume plant 15. Gymnosperms are characterised by a) Naked seeds b) Seed enclosed in fruits c) Winged seed d) Multiple sperms 16. __________ is the edible part of Pinus seed. a) Pericap b) Female gametophyte c) Diploid perisperm d) Endosprem 17. The tissue in the roots of Vanda that absorbs water from the atmosphere is called a) Aernchyma b) Xylem c) Phloem d) Velamen 18. Quiescent centre is present in a) Root apex b) Shoot apex c) Vegetative apex d) Flower apex 19. Tunica and Corpus organization occurs in a) Root apex b) Shoot apex c) Cambium d) Inter-calary meristems 20. Which of the following tissues form the bulk of storage organ? a) Parenchyma b) Collenchyma c) Sclerenchyma d) Aerenchyma 21. In a forest ecosystem green plants are a) the primary producers b) the secondary consumers c) the decomposers d) both secondary consumers and decomposers 22. Various modifications in the form and structure in the leaves of xerophytes are meant a) to protect from air b) to protect from excess transpiration c) to check excess liberation of CO2 d) to help in absorption of O2 23. Etiolation in plants is due to a) Total darkness b) Full sunlight c) Vitamin deficiency d) Virus disease Etiolation is a condition caused by the growth of plants in the absence of light. An etiolated plant cannot complete synthesis of chlorophyll when grown in darkness, so that the leaf is yellowish or whitish, due only to the presence of yellow carotenoids.In etiolated plants, there are no normal chloroplasts, because in the constant darkness the typical membrane and protein portions of the organelle cannot be made. So Etiolation in platns is due to the absence of a growth-inhibiting secretion formed by the chloroplasts In the light. 24.

Polytene chromosome are found in a) salivary glands of men b) salivary glands of animals c) salivary glands of women d) salivary glands of Drosophila 31. What are the chromosomes with more than two chromatids called? a) Lampbrush chromosomes b) Polytene chromosomes c) Acrocentric chromosomes d) Allosomes 32.
