column, derived from the notochord.

b) Protozoa are defined as a diverse group of unicellular eukaryotic


organisms.

c) A fungus is any member of the group of prokaryotic organisms that


includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more
familiar mushrooms.

Which among the following are correct?

3. Which among the following are effects of intensity of light on growth of


plants?

a) Extremely high intensity favours root growth than shoot growth, which results in
increased transpiration, short stem, smaller & thicker leaves

b) When the intensity of light is less than the minimum, plant ceases to grow due to
accumulation of co2 & finally dies

c) Plants grown in blue light are small (more roots, smaller stem), plants grown in
red light are etiolated (pale & elongated) & plants grown in UV & violet light are
dwarf.

4. Which is the correct order of colour of light absorbed by the plants during
photosynthesis?

c) Blue > violet > red

d) Violet > blue >red

5. Which among the following is/are correct regarding the green light during
photosynthesis?

a) It is the green light which is not absorbed that finally reaches our eyes,
making the chlorophyll appear green.

b) Plants give out carbon dioxide not only at night but during the day too.

c) Proportion of oxygen becomes greater in comparison to carbon dioxide in the


lower atmosphere.

6. Which among the following are effects of frost on the plants

a) Death of sal seedlings is a fine example of effect of frost on plants

b) Frost also leads to formation of canker (a destructive fungal disease of trees that
results in damage to the bark)

c) As a result of frost, coagulation & precipitation of the cell colloid result in death
of the plant

environmental degradation through

b) Intensification of greenhouse effects

c) Economic loss through damages of agricultural crops due to increased incidence


of floods and drought

d) Decrease in agricultural production because of loss of fertile top soils

e) Social problems in the form of economic poverty, crimes and increased legal
litigation

f) Deforestation has also increased the rate of aeolian erosion through deflation
and desertification through desert spreads

12. What do you mean by the term BIOMAGNIFICATIONS

13.

a) Pure rain has a ph of 7.0 but in the areas where industries burn oil and
coal emit so2 into the atmosphere and motor vehicles release nox into air,
the rain becomes acidic reaching ph of 2.

b) Pure rain is basic in nature

c) Acidic rain is toxic to trees and corrodes buildings, marble structures and
archaeological monuments.
