Important Questions on Photosynthesis in Higher Plants







Study the following lists and match the discoveries and/or inventions made by the scientists during century
List - I | List - II | ||
(a) | Oxygen evolution from in photosynthesis | (i) | Benson |
(b) | path way of Carbon assimilation | (ii) | V.S. Rama Das |
(c) | Contribution to -photosynthesis | (iii) | Robert Hill |
(d) | Artificial synthesis of genes | (iv) | Hara Govind Khorana |
(v) | Frankel Conrat |
The correct answer is







I. has high affinity to oxygen in low concentration.
II. The Calvin pathway occurs in the chloroplast of bundle sheath cells of plants.
III. Yeast position themselves when the concentration of alcohol reaches .
IV. Oxygen is a final hydrogen acceptor during aerobic respiration.

Assertion In , the reaction centre, chlorophyll 'a' has an absorption peak at , hence is called , while in , it has absorption maxima at and is called .
Reason Calvin pathways occur in all photosynthetic plants, it does not matter where they have or pathways and the Calvin cycle described in three stages: Carboxylation, reduction and regeneration.
The correct answer is:

Arrange the path of electrons from water to the phycocyanin in the light reaction.
i) Plastoquinone
ii) Excited
iii) Cyt
iv)
v) Pheophytin
vi) Quinone
The correct sequence is



The graph below represents the absorption spectrum of a major pigment contributing to photosynthesis.
Which one of the following best represents the photosynthetic efficiency of the pigment?
