Which pigment acts directly to convert light energy to chemical energy?
1. Chlorophyll a.
2. Chlorophyll b.
3. Xanthophyll.
4. Carotenoid.
The process which makes a major difference between C3 and C4 plants is:
1. | glycolysis | 2. | Calvin cycle |
3. | photorespiration | 4. | respiration |
Examine the figure given below and select the wrong option
1. | A - Present in only grana lamellae. |
2. | B - involves downhill movement of electrons in terms of oxidation-reduction potential. |
3. | C - Absorbs 700 nm light. |
4. | The electrons return back to the reaction center. |
In the given graph what does A, B represent?
1. | A - Absorption spectrum; B - Action spectrum (Chl. a). |
2. | A - Action spectrum; B - Absorption spectrum (carotenoids). |
3. | A - Absorption spectrum; B - Action spectrum (Ch. b). |
4. | A - Action spectrum; B - Absorption spectrum (Ch.a). |
Consider the following statements:
I: | Accessory pigments enable a wider range of light to be utilized for photosynthesis. |
II: | The reaction center of PSI is P680 and that of PSII is P 700. |
III: | The stroma lamellae membranes lack both PSII and NADP reductase. |
Which of the above statements are true?
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II, and III |
1. | high energy bonds are formed in mitochondrial proteins |
2. | ADP is pumped out of the matrix into the inter-membrane space |
3. | a proton gradient forms across the inner membrane |
4. | there is a change in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane toward Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) |
In plant cells, synthesis of ATP by the chemiosmotic
mechanism occurs during
1. Photosynthesis only.
2. Respiration only.
3. Both photosynthesis and respiration.
4. Photorespiration only.
