Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) represents the following range of wave length

  1. 400-700 nm

  2. 500-600 nm

  3. 450-950 nm

  4. 340-450 nm

A Correct answer
Explanation

Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) is the amount of light available for photosynthesis, which is light in the 400 to 700 nanometer wavelength range. PAR changes seasonally and varies depending on the latitude and time of day.

Phenomenon, by which some primarily bacteria utilize chemicals to generate energy rich compounds, known as

  1. Autosynthesis

  2. Polysynthesis

  3. Photosynthesis

  4. Chemosynthesis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Chemosynthesis is the process by which certain organisms (like bacteria) obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic chemical compounds rather than using sunlight.

Organism in estuary can concentrate on conversion of sun energy into;

  1. Food

  2. Organic matters

  3. Nutrients

  4. Water
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Organisms in an estuary, particularly producers like phytoplankton and algae, convert solar energy into organic matter through photosynthesis. This organic matter forms the base of the estuarine food web.

According to first law, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but, can only show a state known as

  1. Utilized

  2. Thermodynamics

  3. Convection

  4. Conversion
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is conserved; it can be converted from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed. The process of changing energy from one form to another is called conversion.

Which bacteria consumes organic matter as their food, and thus oxidizing it to stable end product?

  1. Viruses

  2. Aerobic Bacteria

  3. Anaerobic Bacteria

  4. Rotifers
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Aerobic bacteria require oxygen to break down organic matter into stable end products like carbon dioxide and water. Anaerobic bacteria function in the absence of oxygen, and viruses are not organisms that consume organic matter in this way.

What is the PAR range?

  1. 200nm - 800nm

  2. 400nm - 700nm

  3. 350nm - 550nm

  4. 600nm - 100nm
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Photosynthetically active radiation or PAR is, the spectral range (wave band) of solar radiation from 400 to 700 nanometers. At this range, an autotroph synthesises the food by the process of photosynthesis. Hence option B is correct.
