Photosynthesis in Plants

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants that is essential for photosynthesis. Option B is correct.

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. It is essential for photosynthesis as it absorbs light energy (mostly in the blue and red spectrum) and converts it into chemical energy. Stomata are pores for gas exchange, tendrils are climbing organs, and starch is a carbohydrate storage product.

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide through stomata to synthesize glucose. The carbon atoms from CO2 form the backbone of carbohydrates while oxygen is released as waste.

The equation shows the breakdown of glucose during cellular respiration, which is essentially the reverse of photosynthesis. C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 produces 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy, representing the oxidative process that releases stored energy.

Plants absorb water and dissolved minerals (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc.) from soil through their roots. While atmospheric CO2 provides carbon and light provides energy for photosynthesis, soil is the primary source of essential nutrients required for growth and development.

Photosynthesis occurs primarily in leaves and other chloroplast-containing parts of plants because chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which captures light energy. Options B and C contain stems/roots which lack chloroplasts or have minimal photosynthetic capacity. Option D includes bark which does not photosynthesize.

Yes, it consists of chlorophyll, which is used in photosynthesis.

They are colourless plastids. They do not have pigments. They only store starch in the plant cell.

This system exchange both matter and energy with the surroundings. Since plant exchanges both matter and energy with the surroundings, photosynthesis is an example of open system.

This phylum of the kingdom protista contains photosynthetic organisms commonly known as red algae. Members of this division have a peculiar clear red colour imparted by accessory pigments called phycobilins. They are multicellular and are characterized by a great deal of branching.

Photosynthesis is the biochemical process in which light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and used to build sugar from carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen. The process occurs  in green parts of the plant mostly leaves. In some plants stem may be modified hebaceous to perform photosynthesis.

Many chloroplast DNAs contain two inverted repeats, which separate a long single copy section (LSC) from a short single copy section (SSC). While a given pair of inverted repeats is rarely completely identical, they are always very similar to each other, apparently resulting from concerted evolution.

Chlorophyll b is an olive green pigment found only in the chloroplasts of plants, green algae, any secondary chloroplasts obtained through the secondary endosymbiosis of a green alga, and a few cyanobacteria. It is the chlorophylls a and b together that make most plant and green algal chloroplasts green.

A gerontoplast is a plastid found in formerly green tissues that are currently senescing. A gerontoplast is a chloroplast that has re-purposed through a process of developmental senescence.

When plants are deprived of light, they cannot produce chlorophyll, which gives them their green color. This yellowing condition due to chlorophyll deficiency is called chlorosis. Necrosis refers to tissue death, phototropism is growth toward light, and vernalization is cold treatment.
