10. Differentiate between Necrosis and Chlorosis
Ans:

Necrosis
|
Chlorosis
|
The death of a cell or group of cells while still a part of the living plant is known as necrosis. | The yellowing of leaves due to reduction of chlorophyll content is known as chlorosis. |
It is caused due to the deficiency of copper, calcium and chlorine | It is caused by the deficiency of magnesium, sulphur, iron, manganese and nitrogen. |
