A Correct answer
Explanation

Bacteria have glycocalyx (a-3). Sphaerosomes are involved in lipid storage (b-1). Chloroplasts contain thylakoids (c-4). Karyotype is represented by an idiogram (d-2).

D Correct answer
Explanation

In the Calvin cycle, CO2 is first fixed by RuBisCO to form 3-phosphoglycerate, which is the first stable radioactive compound.

Which of the following pairs are correctly matched? Principal wavelength Physiological of light event.
a. $700$nm- Photo system I
b. $650$nm- Photo system II
c. $690$nm- Photo system III
d. $620$nm- Phycocyanin
Select the correct answer using the codes given.

  1. $1, 2$ and $4$
  2. $1, 3$ and $4$
  3. $2$ and $4$
  4. $1$ and $3$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

PS I absorbs at 700nm, PS II at 680nm (650nm is often associated with accessory pigments/PS II complex), and Phycocyanin absorbs around 620nm. PS III does not exist.
