In many areas, poor agricultural practices have led to increasing desertification and the loss of formerly arable lands. Consequently, those plants species that are well adapted to survival in dry climates are being looked at for an answer in developing more efficient crops to grow on marginally arable lands. Plants uses several mechanisms to ensure their survival in desert environments. Some involve purely mechanical and physical adaptations, such as the shape of the plant’s surface, smaller leaf size, and extensive root systems. Some of the adaptations are related to chemical mechanisms. Many plants, such as cacti, have internal gums and mucilages which give them water-retaining properties. Another chemical mechanism is that of the epicuticular wax layer. This wax layer acts as an impervious cover to protect the plant. It prevents excessive loss of internal moisture. It also protects the plant from external aggression, which can come from inorganic agents such as gases, or organic agents which include bacteria ant plant pets. Researchers have proposed that synthetic waxes with similar protective abilities could be prepared based on knowledge of desert plants. If successfully developed, such a compound could be used to greatly increase a plant’s ability to maintain health in such adverse situations as inadequate water supply, limited fertilizers availability, attacked by pets, and poor storage after harvesting. 1. This passage deals mainly with A. desertification B. decreasing water supply C. factors limiting crop production D. developing efficient plants 2. The word “arable” is closest in meaning to A. fertile B. parched C. barren D. marsh 3. Which of the following is a mechanical or physical mechanism that desert plants use? A. The plant’s shape B. The small root system C. The vast leaf size D. The high water system 4. The word “extensive” is closest in meaning to A. spongy B. shallow C. widespread D. comprehensive 5. Which is one of the ways in which the epicuticular wax protects the plant? A. It helps the plant to avoid excessive moisture intake B. It helps the plant to attack aggressors. C. It releases gases against plant pets. D. It guards against bacteria. 6. The word “it” refers to A. another chemical mechanism B. the epicuticular wax layer C. an impervious plantlike cover D. the loss of internal moisture 7. The word “aggression” is closest in meaning to A. attack B. agitation C. conditions D. surroundings 8. What is an example of an inorganic agent that may attack plants? A. Bacteria B. Insects C. Gas D. Pets 9. It can be inferred that synthetic simulated waxes A. have not been developed yet B. have not succeeded C. have been determined to be impervious to organic and inorganic agents. D. have the quality of causing bacteria. 10. All of the following are examples of an adverse situation for crops except A. inadequate water B. insufficient fertilize C. pest aggression D. proper storage PART E: WRITING (20 pts) Question I: a.
