Assertion(A): | Plants photosynthesise during the day, whereas they respire at night. |
Reason(R): | Photosynthesis can occur in the presence of sunlight whereas respiration cannot. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Chloroplasts:
I. | have their own DNA and make all proteins needed by them |
II. | have a uniparental inheritance |
III. | cannot be made by the plant cell |
1. | Only I and II are correct |
2. | Only I and III are correct |
3. | Only II and III are correct |
4. | I, II and III are correct |
Robin Hill discovered that the isolated chloroplasts from plants can release oxygen when they are illuminated by sunlight in the presence of a suitable electron acceptor. This showed:
I. | oxygen \((O_2)\) is produced by a reaction that is separate from carbon dioxide \((CO_2)\) fixation. |
II. | the reaction in which oxygen is released requires light. |
III. | the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis is a result of a series of redox reactions. |
1. | I and II only |
2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only |
4. | I, II and III |
The enzymes for synthesis of organic molecules, in autotrophic bacteria, are located:
1. | on chloroplast membranes |
2. | in the cytosol |
3. | in the nucleoid region |
4. | along the inner surface of the plasma membrane |
The absorption spectrum shown in the given figure can be of:
1. Chlorophyll a
2. Chlorophyll b
3. Carotenoids
4. Either 1 or 2
The number of electrons that need to be transported during cyclic photophosphorylation in sulphur bacteria, to produce one molecule of ATP is:
1. one
2. two
3. three
4. four
The pH of the space of thylakoid of isolated chloroplast is decreased and then transferred in the dark to a pH-8 solution. The result would most likely be:
I. | The isolated chloroplasts will make ATP. |
II. | The Calvin cycle will be activated. |
III. | Cyclic photophosphorylation will occur. |
1. | Only I |
2. | Only I and II |
3. | Only I and III |
4. | Only II and III |
A possible purpose of photorespiration may be:
1. | assimilation of nitrate from the soil |
2. | translocation of carbohydrates |
3. | enhanced PGR efficiency |
4. | differentiation of plant cells |
The following diagram shows bundle sheath cells with “special” types of chloroplasts. What is special about them?
1. | They are larger than normal size |
2. | They are agranal |
3. | They are dimorphic |
4. | Calvin cycle cannot take place in them |
What conclusion can be drawn from the finding that while some bacteria have only photosystem I, cyanobacteria have both?
1. | Photosystem II was lost in some species as it was selected against by the nature. |
2. | Photosystem I must be more ancestral. |
3. | Photosystem II may have evolved to be more photoprotective. |
4. | Cyclic photphosprolylation is more important than non cyclic photophosphorylation. |
