1. When growth is going on at a slow rate, tis phase is known as

(a) lag period (b) log period
(c) period of diminishing growth (d) exponential phase
2. The period of steady state is never reached in the organs of
(a) determinate structures (b) indeterminate structure
(c) leaves (d) all the above
3. Auxins increase the height of the plant by
(a) cell division (b) cell differentiation
(c) cell elongation (d) cell maturation
4. In plants, during early embryonic condition
(a) All cells of the embryo divide
(b) Meristematic activity is confined to single apical cell
(c) Meristematic activity is confined to a group of apical cells
(d) Apical & lateral cells only divide
5. The secondary meristem originates from
(a) Promeristem (b) Primary meristem
(c) Primary permanent tissue (d) Secretory tissue
6. Instrument used for measurement of plant growth is
(a) auxanometer (b) ganong’s light screen
(c) willmot’s bubbler (d) potometer
7. Intercalary meristem results in
(a) secondary growth (b) primary growth (c) apical growth (d) lateral growth
8. Growth curve is
(a) S-shaped (b) Sigmoid (c) L-shaped (d) Both (a) & (b)
9. Maximum of growth occurs in:
(a) Exponential phase (b) Decline phase (c) Stationary phase (d) Lag phase
10. Go through the following statements
(i) In geometric growth, following mitotic cell division, only one daughter cell continues to
divide while the other differentiates and mature.
(ii) The ability of plants to follow different pathways in response to environment or phases of
life to form different kinds of structures, is called plasticity.
(iii) The mathematical expression for arithmetic growth is Lt = LO + rt while for geometric
growth, it is W1 = W0ert.
(iv) The form of growth wherein new cells are always being added to the plant body by the
activity of the meristem, is called the open form of growth.
