Sample questions with answers
1. An underground horizontal stem with nodes, internodes and scaly leaves is a
- A. bulb
- B. corm
- C. rhizome
- D. sucker
Answer: C. rhizome
Rhizome, also called creeping rootstalk, horizontal underground plant stem capable of producing the shoot and root systems of a new plant.
Examples of plants which propagate by rhizome includes:
* Hops
* Asparagus
* Ginger
* Irises
* Lily of the valley
* Cannas
* Sympodial orchids

2. The gas which gives a pop sound when a glowing splinter is brought close to is
- A. ammonia
- B. hydrogen
- C. oxygen
- D. carbon dioxide
Answer: B. hydrogen
Tests for gases
Hydrogen
A lighted wooden splint makes a popping sound in a test tube of hydrogen.
Oxygen
A glowing wooden splint relights in a test tube of oxygen.
Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide turns limewater milky. A lighted wooden splint goes out in a test tube of carbon dioxide but this happens with other gases, too. So the limewater test is a better choice.
Ammonia
Ammonia has a characteristic sharp, choking smell. It also makes damp red litmus paper turn blue. Ammonia forms a white smoke of ammonium chloride when hydrogen chloride gas, from concentrated hydrochloric acid, is held near it.
Chlorine
Chlorine has a characteristic sharp, choking smell. It also makes damp blue litmus paper turn red, and then bleaches it white. Chlorine makes damp starch-iodide paper turn blue-black.

4. Which of the following practices is not applicable to vegetable production?
- A. budding
- B. pruning
- C. staking
- D. weeding
Answer: A. budding
Prunning the selective removal of certain parts of a plant, such as branches, buds, or roots.
Weeding is the process to remove out the weeds. Weeds are unwantedvplants which grown along the useful crops.
Staking is the practice of driving a stake or rod into the ground close to a plant to provide support for its stems
Grafting and budding are techniques used to join parts from two or more plants so that they appear to grow as a single plant. In grafting, the upper part (scion) of one plant grows on the root system (rootstock) of another plant. In the budding process, a bud is taken from one plant and grown on another

5. The function of the valves in the veins of humans is to
- A. prevent blood from flowing backwards
- B. exchange nutrients between blood and cells
- C. stop extreme expansion of the wall
- D. direct blood away from the heart
Answer: A. prevent blood from flowing backwards
Valves in veins prevent blood from flowing in the reverse (backward) direction.
Venous valves typically consist of two elastic flaps of tissue that open and close in alternation.
Muscles constantly contract and release, causing the blood to flow toward the heart. The valves open, allowing the blood to flow, and close, stopping the blood from flowing backwards.
