Which of the following sentences about photorespiration is false?
This is the correct option as this statement about photorespiration is false. It is favoured by low CO2 concentration. Carboxylation is favoured by high CO2 concentration.
Sugarcane, sorghum plants are called C4 plants because of the first stable photosynthetic product being a 4-carbon compound. Which of the following is a characteristic of C4 plants?
A C4 plant is a plant that cycles carbon dioxide into four-carbon sugar compounds to enter into the Calvin cycle. These plants are very efficient in hot and dry climates.Their optimum temperature for photosynthesis is 30 - 45° C.
Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a mechanism of photosynthesis involving double fixation of CO2. Which of the following are CAM plants?
a. Sedum b. Opuntia c. Salsola d. Amaranthus
This is the correct option. Sedum and Opuntia are CAM plants. In these plants, the mechanism of photosynthesis is similar to C4 plants but CAM plants do not have Kranz anatomy and two types of chloroplasts. The initial fixation of CO2 occurs at night and final fixation occurs during day time. This results in conservation of water.
Both environmental and plant factors influence photosynthesis. Which of the following is a plant factor that influences photosynthesis?
This is the correct option as this is a plant factor that influences photosynthesis. Leaf anatomy influences the rate of diffusion of CO2 into the mesophyll cells, availability of light, rate of translocation of end products etc. The important anatomical structures influencing them are size, structure, position and frequency of stomata, thickness of epidermis and cuticle, distribution and number of vascular strands, etc.
Consider the following statements and choose the correct answer.
a. A limiting factor is defined as a factor which is deficient to such an extent that increase in its magnitude directly increases the rate of the process. b. The rate of a physiological process can be limited at a given time by more than one deficient factors.
This is the correct option as statement 'b' is false. The rate of a physiological process is limited at a given time by one and only one deficient factors. These factors can be carbon dioxide concentration, light intensity, temperature, etc.
Which scientist gave the "Law of Limiting Factors" in 1905?
This is the correct option as Blackman gave the "Law of Limiting Factors" in 1905.
He is best known for showing that light is essential to photosynthesis and thus having discovered photosynthesis.
In chloroplasts, there is a membranous system. Which of the following is/are not a part of this membranous system?\
a. Grana b. Starch granule c. Stroma lamellae
Starch granule is not a part of the membranous system of the chloroplast.
Match the following:
Chlorophyll a is bright or blue-green in the chromatogram. Chlorophyll b is yellow-green in colour. Carotene is bright yellow in colour.
Which of the following statements is/are false?
a. The substances that have an ability to absorb light at specific wavelengths are called pigments. b. The membrane system is responsible for the synthesis of ATP and NADPH. c. Most of the photosynthesis takes place in the yellow and green regions of the spectrum.
This is the correct option as this statement is false. Most of the photosynthesis takes place in the blue and red regions of the spectrum.
