Oxygen, during oxygenic photosynthesis, is produced during:
1. cyclic photophosphorylation
2. the light-dependent reactions involving photosystems I and II
3. Calvin cycle
4. the Krebs cycle
In oxygenic photosynthesis, the release of oxygen is a byproduct of:
1. chemiosmosis
2. reducing by FNR
3. splitting the water molecules
4. cyclic photophosphorylation
The greatest problem with photorespiration is faced by:
1. | C4 plants | 2. | C3 plants |
3. | CAM plants | 4. | purple sulfur bacteria |
The diagram shows the famous Engelmann experiment that helped us understand important aspects of the process of photosynthesis. What conclusion can be drawn by the pattern of accumulation of aerobic bacteria shown in the diagram?
1. | Excess carbon dioxide is released by the alga in the area of accumulation. |
2. | Only red and violet lights are effective for photosynthesis. |
3. | In the areas of accumulation, most oxygen was liberated by the alga. |
4. | Bacteria are attracted to red and blue light. |
The Engelmann experiment shown in the given diagram helped to understand the relationship between:
1. | bacteria and the alga used in the experiment. |
2. | the rate of respiration in aerobic bacteria and wavelengths of light. |
3. | wavelengths of light and the oxygen released during photosynthesis. |
4. | rates of oxygen liberation by alga and carbon dioxide liberated by the bacteria. |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
1. | PS I | P700 is reaction center |
2. | RuBP | 5 carbon compound |
3. | PS II | P680 is reaction center |
4. | C3 plants | Kranz anatomy |
The given diagram shows the scheme of:
1. | Cyclic photophosphorylation and Y is NADPH |
2. | Cyclic photophosphorylation and Y is ATP |
3. | Non-Cyclic photophosphorylation and Y is NADPH |
4. | Non-Cyclic photophosphorylation and Y is ATP |
The correct statements about photosynthesis include:
I: | the light-dependent reactions can occur only in the light, the light-independent reactions only in the dark |
II: | photorespiration is more efficient at producing glucose than is photosynthesis |
III: | the light-dependent reactions produce the energy-rich compounds that are used to run the light-independent reactions |
1. | I only | 2. | III only |
3. | I and III only | 4. | II and III only |
Study the given diagram where ‘X’ represents the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a and ‘Y’ represents the action spectrum of photosynthesis. The conclusions that can be drawn include:
I: | Chlorophyll a is the main pigment in photosynthesis. |
II: | Violet-Blue and Red wavelengths are very effective for photosynthesis. |
III: | Chlorophyll a is the only pigment capable of absorbing light. |
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the light independent reactions in photosynthesis:
1. These reactions occur in the stroma.
2. They use the products (ATP and NADPH) of light-dependent reactions.
3. They occur in the absence of light and hence are called the dark reactions.
4. The three phases are carbon fixation, reduction reactions, and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration.
