Photosynthesis in Plants

Leucoplasts are required for monoterpene synthesis. Monoterpenes are terpenes, a class of organic compounds, produced by a variety of plants, particularly conifers. Leucoplasts contain droplets of lipid-like material at their margins leading to the belief that these organelles are involved in monoterpene synthesis. Leucoplasts contain enzymes of the monoterpene pathway, thus they might be involved in monoterpene synthesis.

Etioplasts are the chloroplasts that have not been exposed to light. They are usually found in flowering plants (Angiosperms) grown in the dark or if a plant is kept out of light for several days.

Chromoplasts serve as attractants and identifiers. They are responsible for distinctive colours of flowers and fruits and thus, serve as attractants for pollination and identifiers for several plants.

Photosynthesis produces glucose (a simple carbohydrate) as its primary product, using sunlight, water, and CO2. The glucose can be used immediately for energy, stored as starch, or converted to other carbohydrates like cellulose. While plants can synthesize fats, proteins, and absorb minerals, these are NOT direct products of photosynthesis. The overall reaction is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light → C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2.

Algae are photosynthetic organisms that contain chlorophyll and produce their own food using sunlight. Mushrooms are fungi, while amoeba and plasmodium are non-photosynthetic protists.

Cytochrome plays the role of electron carrier in the both processes- respiration and photosynthesis. It is found either as monomeric proteins or greater enzymatic complexes’ subunits which catalyze redox reaction.  

The right sequence in which such products emerge from ribulose bisphosphate in the photorespiration pathway, is Glycolate, glyoxylate, glycine, serine.

Thylakoid membrane is the actual site for Photochemical is the photosynthesis’s primary reaction which occurs in chloroplast. It is done by a series of electron carriers with phosphorylation of ADP to ATP. Thylakoid membrane is the membrane-bound region inside the chloroplast and Cyanobacteria.

Bacteriochlorophyll; no O₂ evolution; light absorption at greater wavelength than 700nm is appropriate to the bacterial photosynthesis.

Here d, b, c, a is the right sequence of such intermediate compounds as they produce in C₄ –dicarboxylic acid pathway- Oxaloacetic acid, malic acid, pyruvic acid, Phosphoenol pyruvate following the PEP-carboxylation reaction.

Protohrolphyll is grenn Mg containing pigment which is found in etiolated leaves. Chlorophyll is green pigment present in Cyanobacteria & chloroplast of plants. Protochlorophyll varies from chlorophyll in lacking 2 H atoms in 1 of its pyrrole ring

In the process of photosynthesis, the solar energy is converted into chemical energy.

Yes, it is correct. The parenchyma tissue having chlorophyll and that carries out photosynthesis is chlorenchyma.

This is the correct answer as chlorenchyma is a type of parenchyma that contains chlorophyll and performs photosynthesis.

A gerontoplast is a plastid found in formerly green tissues that are currently senescing. The function of the gerontoplast in association with other organelles in an aging cell is clearly to affect a controlled dismantling of the photosynthetic apparatus during senescence.
