C. B. van Niel proved that:
1. | Plants produce glucose when they grow. |
2. | Blue and red light are effective for photosynthesis. |
3. | It is only the green parts of the plants that could release oxygen. |
4. | Hydrogen from a suitable oxidizable compound reduces carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. |
When do you think the chloroplasts will be aligned with their flat surfaces parallel to the walls of the mesophyll cells?
1. | In dark |
2. | When light intensity is low |
3. | When light intensity is high |
4. | They are always aligned parallel to the walls |
It can be correctly said about the relation between the absorption spectra of various pigments and the action spectrum of photosynthesis that:
1. | There is a complete one to one overlap between the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a and the action spectrum of photosynthesis. |
2. | There is a complete one to one overlap between the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll b and the action spectrum of photosynthesis. |
3. | The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a is wider than the action spectrum of photosynthesis. |
4. | The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a is narrower than the action spectrum of photosynthesis. |
What is true regarding PSI and PSII?
1. | PS I works before PS II during the light reaction |
2. | A single chlorophyll a molecule makes the reaction center in both PS I and PS II |
3. | The reaction center of PS I is P680 and in PS II is P700 |
4. | LHC is seen in PS I but not in PS II |
The electrons needed to replace those removed from PS I are provided by:
1. | The LHC | 2. | Water |
3. | NADPH | 4. | PS II |
Consider the following two statements and choose the correct response from the options given below:
I: | Protons and oxygen formed by splitting of water are released in the lumen of thylakoid. |
II: | PS II is physically located on the inner side of the membrane of the thylakoid. |
1. | Both I and II are true and II explains I |
2. | Both I and II are true but II does not explain I |
3. | I is true and II is false |
4. | I is false and II is true |
The stroma lamellae membranes:
1. | have both PS II and NADP reductase enzyme |
2. | have PS II but not NADP reductase enzyme |
3. | lack PS II but have NADP reductase enzyme |
4. | lack both PS II and NADP reductase enzyme |
The NADP reductase enzyme is located:
1. | within the thylakoid membrane |
2. | on the stroma side of the thylakoid membrane |
3. | on the lumen side of the thylakoid membrane |
4. | in the thylakoid lumen |
The ATP synthase consists of two parts where:
1. | is a transmembrane channel and protrudes out towards stroma |
2. | is a transmembrane channel and protrudes out towards stroma |
3. | is a transmembrane channel and protrudes out towards lumen of thylakoid |
4. | is a transmembrane channel and protrudes out towards lumen of thylakoid |
NCERT textbook mentions that “immediately after light becomes unavailable, the biosynthetic process continues for some time and then stops”. Why does it stop after some time?
1. | The respiration stops in the absence of light and hence synthesis of sugars stops |
2. | The reactions of the biosynthetic phase are directly dependent on light |
3. | The reactions of the biosynthetic phase are dependent on the products of light reaction |
4. | This is a mistake in NCERT as Dark Reactions will continue throughout night |
