d) Trichodesmium erithraeum | Trichodesmium erithraeum is a species of cyanobacteria that are&amp;nbsp; Blue-green Algae also called sea sawdust. The red colour predominates due to the excess of C-Phycoerythrin in these algae.

Q: The age of the tree can be calculated by-

c) counting the number of annual rings | Annual rings shows the amount of wood produced during one season. Each year the trees produce new cells and arranged in concentric circles called as annual ring or growth rings. by counting these circles/ rings we can calculate the average age of a tree.

Q: Which is collip's hormone?

Q: Stomata are bound by a pair of guard cells. Stomata close when guard cells become-

b) flacid | Stomata control the exchange of gases in leaves and also controls the loss and absorption of water. closing and opening of stomata depend on the action of guard cells. In light guard, cells absorb water, become turgid and the stoma opens. In the dark, the guard cells lose water, become flaccid and the stoma closes.

Q: Which of the following can be used for the biological control of musquitoes?

d) Gambusia | Gambusia is a species of freshwater fish used for the biological control of muscquitoes.&amp;nbsp; Gambusia is also named&amp;nbsp;mosquitofish&amp;nbsp;because the fish eats mosquito larvae.
