  1. If dark period of ‘corn plant’ is interrupted by flash of
    light. Yield of crop will
    (a) increase (b) become zero

    (j) Gibberellins are derivative of carotenoids.
    (k) movement shown by “touch me not plant” on
    touch is a paratonic, turgor and seismonasty. It is
    due to outward movement of K+ from pulvinus of
    compound leaf.

  1. To find rQ in a set respirometer where water level falls
    the rQ will be
    (a) < 1 (b) > 1 (c) = 1 (d) zero.

  2. Instrument used to measure growth in plants is
    (a) phytotron (b) crescograph
