| 2. | type of end product |
| 3. | type of pigment involved in photosynthesis |
| 4. | end product that will be formed |

b. Physical process
c. Chemical process
d. Physico-chemical process
Which of the following statements does not justify the importance of photosynthesis?
| 1. | it is the primary source of all food on earth. |
| 2. | it is responsible for the release of oxygen into the atmosphere. |
| 3. | it is responsible for the water balance on earth. |
| 4. | use of energy from sunlight by plants doing photosynthesis is the basis of life on earth. |
The half-leaf experiment, where a part of the leaf is enclosed in a test tube containing some KOH soaked cotton was performed, which showed that _________ was required for photosynthesis?
a. Light
b. Chlorophyll
c. CO2
d. O2
Match the scientists in Column I with their contributions in Column II:
| Column I (Scientist) | Column II (Contribution) |
|---|---|
| i. Jan Ingenhousz | a. Discovery of oxygen (O₂) |
| ii. Joseph Priestley | b. Plants restore to the air whatever breathing animals and burning candles remove |
| iii. T.W. Engelmann | c. Showed that only the green part of the plants could release oxygen |
| e. First action spectrum of photosynthesis | |
| f. Used a prism to split light into its spectral components and then illuminated Cladophora placed in a suspension of aerobic bacteria | |
| iv. Julius von Sachs | d. Discovery of production of glucose in plants |
Choose the option with the correct matching:
a. i → c; ii → b; iii → a, e, f; iv → d
b. i → a, b; ii → c; iii → d; iv → e, f
c. i → a; ii → b; iii → c, e; iv → f
d. i → c; ii → a, b; iii → e, f; iv → d
