  1. $\displaystyle CO _2 + 2H _2O \displaystyle

    \overset { light \, energy }{ \underset { chlorophyll }{ \longrightarrow } } C _5H _{10}O _4 + H _2O + O _2 \uparrow$

  2. $\displaystyle CO _2 + 2H _2O \overset { light \, energy }{ \underset { chlorophyll }{ \longrightarrow } } (CH _{2}O) _n + H _2O + O _2 \uparrow$

  3. $\displaystyle CO _2 + 2H _2O \overset { light \, energy }{ \underset { chlorophyll }{ \longrightarrow } } (CH _{2}O) _n + O _2 \uparrow$

  4. $\displaystyle CO _2 + 2H _2O \overset { light \, energy }{ \underset { chlorophyll }{ \longrightarrow } } C _3H _{6}O _3 + CO _2 + O _2 \uparrow$

  5. $\displaystyle CO _2 + 2H _2O \overset { light \, energy }{ \underset { chlorophyll }{ \longrightarrow } } C _6H _{12}O _6 + O _2 \uparrow$


Correct Option: B

What is the common between photosynthesis and respiration

  1. cytochrome

  2. Light

  3. $H _{2}O$

  4. Temperature


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cytochromes-Hence protein serving as electron carries in respiration photosynthesis and other oxidative reactions.

Splitting of water molecules during light reaction of photosynthesis is associated with
(a) PS I resulting in the release of $O _2$, protons and transfer of electrons to PS II (b) PS II resulting in release of $O _2$, protons and transfer of electrons to PS I (c) PS II resulting in release of $O _2$, protons and transfer of electrons to PS II (d) PS I resulting in the release of $O _2$, protons and transfer of electrons to PS I.
Of the above statements

  1. a alone is correct

  2. b alone is correct

  3. c alone is correct

  4. d alone is correct

  5. b and c are correct.


Correct Option: B

A genetically dwarf plant can be converted into a tall plant by the use of 

  1. Kinetin

  2. $GA _{3}$

  3. IAA/X-rays

  4. 2, 4-D


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

GA is sprayed on these single gene dwarf plants, genetic dwarfism is overcome and plants become long e.g., maize, pea.

The source of oxygen evolved during photosynthesis is

  1. $H _2O$

  2. $C _6 H _{12} O _6$

  3. $CO _2$

  4. $n(CH _2O)$.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
In the light reaction, the splitting of water occurs. The protons and oxygen formed by splitting of water are released within the lumen of the thylakoid. The oxygen produced is released as one of the net products of photosynthesis.
So, the correct option is 'H$ _2$O' 

Photolysis of water is a result of action of?

  1. Mg and Cl

  2. N, Cu and Mg

  3. Ca and Mg

  4. Ca, Mn and Cl


Correct Option: A

A copper containing protein linking electron transfer between PS II and PS I is?

  1. Cytochrome $a3$

  2. Cytochrome b

  3. Plastocyanin

  4. Plastoquinone


Correct Option: A

During light reaction, as electrons move through photosystems, protons are transported across the membrane. This happens because of __________________.

  1. The primary acceptor of $e^-$(located towards the outer surface of the membrane) transfers its electron not to the $e^-$ carrier but to H carrier

  2. The primary acceptor of $e^-$ transfers only its $e^-$ to $e^-$ carrier.

  3. The primary acceptor of $e^-$ transfers only its $H^+$ to the nearest carrier.

  4. NADP - reductase is present in grana


Correct Option: A

What does ionosphere shell consist of?

  1. Electrons

  2. Neutrons

  3. Protons

  4. atom


Correct Option: A
