Question 1:

Let’s consider the reasons a farmer might use polythene tunnels for strawberries:

• Option A – Farmer sunburn is not a primary agricultural reason for building polythene tunnels.

• Option B – Rain can cause damage to strawberries (e.g., rot, bruising, fungal diseases), but tunnels mainly provide protection from rain and adverse weather, which is one reason.

• Option C – Increasing yield is possible with tunnels because tunnels allow control over temperature, humidity, and protection from pests, leading to better and more reliable fruit production.

• Option D – Sun can damage fruit (sunscald), but tunnels sometimes have shading or are used to extend the season, so preventing burn is possible; however, the main general advantage often cited is yield increase and protection.

While B is partially correct (rain protection), the most complete and common reason in agricultural contexts is that tunnels increase yield per plant by creating a more favorable microclimate and extending the growing season.

Correct answer: C. The farmer can increase the yield of each plant ✅

Question 2:

To improve yield in plants, you need to enhance photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is increased by:

• Higher carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration (one of the raw materials)

• Warm temperatures (up to an optimal range; enzymes work faster)

• Longer light hours (more time for photosynthesis)

Looking at the options:

• A: Increase % CO₂ + Warm air temperature + Long hours of light → All three favor high photosynthesis → ✅ improves yield

• B: Increase % oxygen (oxygen is not a raw material for photosynthesis; high oxygen can even promote photorespiration, reducing yield) → ❌

• C: Decrease % CO₂ + Cool temperature + Short light hours → All are unfavorable → ❌

• D: Increase % CO₂ but cool temperature and short light hours → not optimal → ❌

Correct answer: A ✅

Question 3:

Cellulose, which makes up plant cell walls, is a polymer of glucose molecules.
During photosynthesis, glucose is produced, and some of it is converted into cellulose for structural purposes.

Correct answer: D. glucose ✅

Question 4:

Let’s check each option:

• A. Hydrogen – Obtained from water, not typically added in fertilizers.

• B. Nitrogen – A key essential element for plant growth (needed for proteins, DNA, etc.), often the main component in fertilizers.

• C. Magnesium – Essential (for chlorophyll), but it is a micronutrient; still sometimes in fertilizers, but nitrogen is more universally the primary essential element in most commercial fertilizers.

• D. Carbon – Obtained from CO₂ in the air, not from fertilizers.

The question asks: “Which essential element needed for growth is in fertilizers?”
The most common and major one is nitrogen.

Correct answer: B. Nitrogen ✅

Question 5:

Given:

• Control yield = 10 kg/100 m²

• Organic fertilizer yield = 20 kg/100 m²

Increase = 10 kg/100 m²

So organic fertilizer increased yield by 100% compared to the control.

✅ Correct answer: D. 100%

Question 6:

The control in experiments like this is meant for comparison, and it should receive identical conditions except for the variable being tested (here, the fertilizer).
That means no fertilizer is applied to the control plot, but water, pesticides, etc., are the same as in the other plots.

✅ Correct answer: C. Treated the maize plants the same as in the other two areas but without applying fertilizer

Question 7:

To determine which is not an organic fertilizer:

• Organic fertilizers come from living or once-living material (e.g., compost, manure).

• Ammonium nitrate is a manufactured inorganic (chemical) fertilizer.

So,
A. Ammonium nitrate is not an organic fertilizer ✅

Question 8:

Let’s compare the features:

• A. Add structure to the soil so improving drainage → This is true for organic fertilizers (improves soil texture/organic matter).

• B. Encourage the growth of beneficial microorganisms and their release of carbon dioxide → True (microbes break down organic matter, releasing CO₂).

• C. Rapid release of nutrients into the soil and increased risk of leaching → This is a feature of inorganic fertilizers, not organic ones. Organic fertilizers release nutrients slowly.

• D. Slow release of nutrients so reducing the risk of leaching → True for organic fertilizers.

The option that is not a feature of organic fertilizers:
C. Rapid release of nutrients into the soil and increased risk of leaching ✅

Question 9:

The question asks: What may be the advantage of spraying the crop with an insecticide?

• A. Has immediate effect → This is an advantage—insecticides can kill or repel pests quickly, reducing damage.

• B. It is expensive → This is a disadvantage, not an advantage.

• C. Kills all insects not just the pest → This is a disadvantage (kills beneficial insects too).

• D. May stay in the fruit → This is a disadvantage (residues in food).

✅ Correct answer: A. Has immediate effect

Question 10:

To be effective in biological control, the organism should:

• Only target the pest (A) → feature ✓

• Produce large numbers of offspring (B) → feature ✓

• Not become a pest itself (D) → feature ✓

But if it eats/infects the crop plant (C), that would damage the crop instead of controlling the pest — so that is not a feature of a successful biological control organism.

✅ Correct answer: C. Eats / infects the crop plant
