Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following microorganisms given below is/are used as Bio-fertilizers?
1. Rhizobium
2. Azospirillum
3. Azotobacter
4. Mycorrhiza
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
All of the above are used as biofertlizers.
A biofertilizer is a substance which contains living microorganisms which, when applied, colonize the rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant.
There are five biofertilizers viz. Rhizobium, Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria and mycorrhiza, which have been incorporated in India’s Fertilizer Control Order (FCO), 1985. Rhizobium, Azotobacter, Azospirillum and blue green algae (BGA) have been traditionally used as Biofertilizers. Blue green algae such as Nostoc, Anabaena, Tolypothrix and Aulosira fix atmospheric nitrogen.Incorrect

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following events given below add carbon dioxide to the carbon cycle on the planet Earth?
1. Volcanic Eruptions
2. Respiration
3. Photosynthesis
4. Decay of Organic Matter
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
1, 2 and 4 are correct.
Volcanic eruptions emit water vapour and toxic gases into the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, hydrochloric acid and carbon monoxide Breathing (or respiration, or ventilation) is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange with the internal environment, mostly by bringing in oxygen and flushing out carbon dioxide.
Photosynthesis takes in the carbon dioxide produced by all breathing organisms and reintroduces oxygen into the atmosphere. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms’ activities.
Decay of organic matter or putrefaction, process whereby heterotrophic organisms, including some bacteria, fungi, saprophytic plants, and lower animals, utilize the remains of once-living tissue as a source of nutrition. In the decomposition process, different products are released: carbon dioxide (CO2), energy, water, plant nutrients and re-synthesized organic carbon compounds.Incorrect
