Questions Related to chemical coordination in plants

Which of the following are synthetic phytohormone?

  1. IBA, IAA, BAP

  2. $2, 4$-D, NAA, BAP

  3. Zeatin, IBA, IAA

  4. NAA, IAA, $2, 4$-D


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • The plant growth regulators (PGRs) or phytohormones are small, simple molecules of diverse chemical composition. For example, auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene.
  • NAA (naphthalene acetic acid) and 2, 4-D (2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic)are synthetic auxins.
  • 6-Benzylaminopurine, benzyl adenine, BAP  is a first-generation synthetic cytokinin that elicits plant growth and development responses, setting blossoms and stimulating fruit richness by stimulating cell division.
  • Hence 2,4-D, NAA, BAP  are synthetic phytohormone.
  • So, the correct answer is '2,4-D, NAA, BAP '.

Phytohormone which promotes nutrient mobilisation, also help in?

  1. Induce flowering in mango

  2. Fruit thinning of cotton

  3. Production of new leaves and chloroplasts

  4. Seed development and dormancy


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Pytohormone which causes mobalization of nutrients is cytokinin and  it also helps in the formation of new leaves and chloroplast. 

In plants, the chemical control is brought about by 

  1. Phytohormones

  2. Hormones

  3. Enzymes

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A- Phytohormones are plant hormones. These are organic substances which are produced in the plants. They bring about total control over growth and other physiological functions in the organism.

Organic substances which regulates the growth of plants are called

  1. Plant hormones / Phytohormones

  2. Plant enzymes

  3. Plasma membrane

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  •  Plant hormones/phytohormones are numerous organic chemical substances that control the growth and differentiation of plant cells, tissues, and organs.
  • Plant enzymes are both organic and inorganic nature. They are not involved in the regulation of growth directly.
  • The plasma membrane regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell. so option A is the correct answer.

Phytohormones are 

  1. Hormones regulating growth from seed to adulthood

  2. Growth regulators synthesised by plants that influence physiological processes

  3. Hormones regulating flowering

  4. Hormones regulating secondary growth


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Phytohormones are produced by plants, that regulate germination, growth, metabolism, or other physiological activities.

So the correct option is 'Growth regulators synthesized by plants that influence physiological processes.'

Phytohormones are

  1. Chemicals regulating flowering

  2. Chemicals regulating secondary growth

  3. Hormones regulating growth from seed to adulthood

  4. Regulators synthesised by plants and influencing physiological processes


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Phytohormones are chemical substances synthesized by plants. 
These chemical substances regulate various physiological processes in plants.
So, the correct answer is 'Regulators synthesised by plants and influencing physiological processes'

Chemicals having profound effect on growth and development are

  1. Enzymes

  2. Phytohormones

  3. Catalytic agents

  4. Manure


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Phytohormones are also called as plant hormones. These are chemicals which play important role in growth and development of plants. These are involved in various physiological processes of plants like growth, flowering, fruiting, shoot and root development, etc. Phytohormones liks auxin, cytokinin act as growth promoter whereas hormones like abscisic acid, ethylene act as growth inhibitor. 

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Through their effect on phytohormones, temperature and light control

  1. Stomatal closure

  2. Apical dominance

  3. Flowering

  4. Fruit development


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Phytohormone is the plant hormone that is involved in various processes of plants. Hormones like gibberellin induce flowering and abscisic acid inhibits flowering in plants. In plants, flowering is controlled by light and dark periods (photoperiod) and temperature in specific environments. Plant generally requires either long day or cold condition for flowering.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Phytohormone is a naturally produced organic substance in ________________.

  1. Higher plants which controls growth and development in general

  2. Plants to control growth and physiological functions at the site of its production

  3. Higher plants controlling growth and development at a site for removed from the site of its production and is effectively only when present in large quantities

  4. Higher plant controlling physiological and growth functions at a site quite removed form the site of its production and is effective when present when in minute quantities


Correct Option: A
