Practice questions

Q1Select the incorrectly matched pair of plant and its economically important part.

A Centella asiatica - Bark
B Papaver somniferum - fruit
C Emblica officinalis - fruit
D Cinchona officinalis - Bark
Explanation

Centella asiatica is valued mainly for its leaves or whole herb, not for bark, so the pair with bark is incorrectly matched. Papaver somniferum is economically important for its capsule or fruit, from which opium-related products are obtained. Emblica officinalis, commonly amla, is valued for its fruit. Cinchona officinalis is correctly linked with bark because quinine is obtained from cinchona bark. Thus only the Centella asiatica pairing wrongly names bark as the economically important part.
