Question : Photosynthetic organisms occur at different depths in the ocean. Do they receive qualitatively and quantitatively the same light ? How do they adapt to carry out photosynthesis under these conditions ? |
|
Answer» Solution :Generally algae are found at various DEPTHS in the OCEAN. These is diversity found in thei PHOTOSYNTHETIC pigments which can absorb light of various wave lenghts and can perform photo synthesis. e.g, : algae (GREEN Algae) Chlorophyll-a (red light is absorbed) and Chlorophyll-b (absorbs violet light) BROWN Algae : Chlorophyll-a, c and Fucoxanthin (absorbs yellow light). Red algae : Chlorophyll-d and phycoerythrin. |

Question : 'Photosynthesis is a redox reaction ''. Comment . |
| Answer» SOLUTION :Photosynthesisis an oxidationand reductions process where ,water is oxidisedto RELEASE oxgyenand `CO_(2)`is reducedto from carbohydrates . | |
| 20. |
Question : Photosynthesis is correcly explained by the equation |
|
Answer» `6 CO_2` + `12H_2O` RARR`C_6H_12O_6` + `6O_2` + `6H_2O` |
|
| 21. |
Question : Photosynthesis is a complex metabolic process. |
| Answer» Solution :The process of photosynthesis takes place in chloroplast, light reaction takes place in GRANA in chloroplast. ATP and NADPH are formed during it. The USE of both these substance is done is FIXATION of `CO_(2)`. During that time glucose is formed after CALVIN cycle process. Thus metabollic process is a construction process. | |
| 22. |
Question : Photosynthesis in C_4 plants is relatively less limited by atmospheric carbon dioxide levels because |
|

|
Answer» FLAGELLUM |
|
| 24. |
Question : Photorespiration poses threat to plants yet it occurs in angiosperms. Why? |
| Answer» SOLUTION :Many angiospermic plants bear only one type of CHLOROPLASTS and `CO_2` ACCEPTOR is RuBP in these cases. Thus there is no other possibility except to undergo `C_2` pathway which may ULTIMATELY lead to PHOTORESPIRATION. | |
| 25. |
Question : Photorespiration involves |
|
Answer» only mitochondria |
|
| 26. |
Question : Photorespiration does not take place in C_(4) plants. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :The sugar formation process occurs in LEAVES of monocot plantas like sugarcane GROWING in tropicl zones in which first product is fused with 4C pathway. The MECHANISM of these plants is as such that it increases the concentration of `CO_(2)` at the enzyme site. So its productivity is increased by RuBisCO, MOREOVER `O_(2)` is prevented to enter into the cells of bundle sheath so there is no possibility of photorespiration lying in it. |
