Question #1
Which of the following hormones is responsible for the closure of stomata during water stress?
A. Auxin
B. Abscisic acid (ABA)
C. Gibberellin
D. Cytokinin

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a stress hormone that induces stomatal closure by causing efflux of K⁺ ions from guard cells, leading to loss of turgor, thereby reducing water loss during drought. Auxin and cytokinin promote growth, gibberellin stimulates stem elongation and seed germination. ABA also promotes seed dormancy and leaf senescence.

Question #3
Rhizobium is used as a biofertilizer primarily for:
A. Fixing atmospheric nitrogen in legume root nodules
B. Decomposing organic matter
C. Solubilizing phosphates
D. Producing auxins

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Rhizobium is a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium that forms root nodules in the roots of leguminous plants (like peas, beans, clover). Inside these nodules, the bacterium converts atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3), which the plant can use. In return, the plant provides the bacteria with carbohydrates and a protected environment. It significantly reduces the need for chemical nitrogen fertilizers.
