NEETBotanyPlant - Growth and Development
Growth Parameters in Plants Description A. Fresh Weight 1. A parameter to measure growth proportional to the increase in protoplasm. B. Cell Number 2. Used to express growth in tissues where cell division is significant. C. Cell Size 3. Measurement that expresses growth in cells where expansion is significant. D. Surface Area 4. Used to measure growth in structures like dorsiventral leaves.
Options
- AA - 4, B - 2, C - 3, D - 1
- BA - 4, B - 3, C - 1, D - 2
- CA - 2, B - 1, C - 4, D - 3
- DA - 3, B - 4, C - 2, D - 1
Correct answer
A. A - 4, B - 2, C - 3, D - 1
Step-by-step solution
A - 4: Fresh weight is a parameter used to measure growth, proportional to the increase in protoplasm. B - 2: Cell number is used to express growth in tissues with significant cell division, like the maize root apical meristem. C - 3: Cell size expresses growth in cases where cells expand significantly, such as in watermelon cells. D - 1: Surface area is used to measure growth in dorsiventral leaves.
