I: | It is the primary source of all food on earth. |
II: | It is responsible for the release of oxygen into the atmosphere by green plants. |
1. | Only I is correct |
2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
The factors that can be limiting for the light independent reactions of photosynthesis are:
1. , temperature, and light
2. , light, and water
3. water, temperature, and
4. oxygen, water, and temperature
Except for plants in shade or in dense forests, light is rarely a limiting factor in nature. This is because:
1. | Dark reactions do not depend on light |
2. | The rate of photosynthesis can be increased by higher carbon dioxide and lower temperatures even in low light conditions |
3. | Light saturation occurs at 10 % of full sunlight |
4. | Carbon fixation is independent of enzymes |
Statement I: | Despite the presence of a green leaf, optimal light and carbon dioxide conditions, the plant may not photosynthesize if the temperature is very low. |
Statement II: | If a chemical process is affected by more than one factor, then its rate will be determined by the factor which is nearest to its minimal value. |
1. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II explains Statement I |
2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II does not explain Statement I |
3. | Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct |
Statement I: | Green house crops such as tomatoes and bell pepper are allowed to grow in carbon dioxide enriched atmosphere. This leads to higher yields. |
Statement II: | C3 plants respond to higher carbon dioxide concentration by showing increased rates of photosynthesis, leading to higher productivity. |
1. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II explains Statement I |
2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II does not explain Statement I |
3. | Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct |
1. | 0.03 to 0.04 | 2. | 0.04 to 0.05 |
3. | 0.05 | 4. | more than 0.05 |
Assertion (A): | Photosynthesis cannot be carried out in higher plants at very high temperatures. |
Reason (R): | Carbon fixation is an enzyme mediated process and the enzymes would be denatured at very high temperatures. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
3. | (A) is False; (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
Statement I: | Current availability of CO2 levels is limiting to the C3 plants. |
Statement II: | \(360 ~\mu lL^{-1}\) | C3 plants show saturation at about
