Two leaves with respective growth are depicted below.
Consider A' and B' or final size after growth. Which of following statement explain the above situation appropriately :-
| 1. | Relative growth rate of A is twice as that of B relative growth rate |
| 2. | Absolute growth rate is same in A and B |
| 3. | Absolute growth rate of B is 1/10 of A absoulate growth rate |
| 4. | Relative growth rate of B is same as A relative growth |
Consider the following statements:
| I. | In low concentrations, auxin can inhibit ethylene formation and transport of precursor in plants; |
| II. | High concentrations of auxin can induce the synthesis of ethylene. |
| III. | Therefore, the high concentration can induce maleness of flowers in some species. |
The correct statements are:
1. I, II, III
2. I, II
3. I, III
4. II, III
Consider the following statements regarding the synthesis and distribution of auxins:
| I. | Auxins are made continuously in the shoot apex and young leaves |
| II. | It moves away from the tip and its movement is described as basipetal and polar |
| III. |
It moves by active transport from cell to cell and is eventually inactivated and degraded by enzymes |
| IV. |
Long term transport can also occur via the vascular system (mainly phloem) from shoots to roots |
| V. | No auxin is made by roots |
The correct statements are:
1. I, II, III1
2. I, II, IV
3. II, III, 2
4. III, IV, 34
Consider the following statements regarding a certain plant growth regulator:
| I. | They are a class of plant growth substances that promote cell division. |
| II. | They are primarily involved in cell growth, differentiation, and other physiological processes. |
| III. | Their effects were first discovered through the use of coconut milk by Folke Skoog. |
This plant hormone must be:
1. Auxin
2. Cytokinin
3. Giberrellin
4. Ethylene
