  • A. Theodor Wilhelm Engelmann
  • B. Malleus
  • C. Ada Lovelace
  • D. Linus Pauling

Explanation: The first action spectrum was made by T. W. Engelmann, who split light into its components by the prism and then illuminated Cladophora…

Correct answer: Theodor Wilhelm Engelmann
  • A. Apoplast
  • B. Symplast
  • C. Vacuolar
  • D. Ascent of sap

Explanation: In plant cells, water can move from one cell to another through plasmodesmata, which are microscopic channels that connect plant cells.

Correct answer: Symplast
  • A. Action spectrum
  • B. Absorption spectrum
  • C. Dark reaction
  • D. Light reaction

Explanation: Action spectra show the effectiveness of different colors of light for carrying out photosynthesis measured by CO2 consumption or O2…

Correct answer: Action spectrum
  • A. Ammonia
  • B. Nitrite
  • C. Nitrate
  • D. Amino acid

Explanation: The symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria invade the root hairs of host plants, where they convert free nitrogen to ammonia, which the host…

Correct answer: Ammonia
  • A. Grana
  • B. Stroma
  • C. Thylakoid
  • D. Both Grana and Stroma

Explanation: The light dependent reaction takes place in the thylakoid membrane. The dark reaction(light-independent reaction) takes place in the stroma.

Correct answer: Stroma
  • A. Chloroplast
  • B. Chromoplast
  • C. Elioplast
  • D. Amyloplast

Explanation: Greenish pigment carrier for photosynthesis present in the chlorophyll in the cell.

Correct answer: Chloroplast
  • A. Yellow
  • B. Red
  • C. Orange
  • D. Green

Explanation: Xanthophylls are accessory pigments in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast in plant cells. They belong to the group carotenoids.

Correct answer: Yellow
  • A. ADP and NADPH
  • B. ATP and NADPH
  • C. Carbon dioxide and water
  • D. NADPH and AMP

Explanation: ATP and NADPH are synthesized in the light reactions of photosynthesis, which are then used in the Calvin cycle to produce sugars.

Correct answer: ATP and NADPH
  • A. 18
  • B. 27
  • C. 9

  • A. ATP. RuBP and reduced NAD
  • B. ATP, oxygen and reduced NADP
  • C. GP, oxygen and reduced NAD
  • D. GP reduced NADP and RuBP

Explanation: The three products of the light reaction of photosynthesis are ATP, NADPH, and O2
