Question :Suppose there were plants that had a high concentration of chlorophyll b, but lacked chlorophyll a, would it carry out photosynthesis? Then why do plants have chlorophyll b and other accessory pigments?

Answer»

Solution :If the plants LACK chlorophyll a, photosynthesis cannot be carried out. Chlorophyll a acts as a reaction centre. In PS I, a has ABSORPTION peak at 700 nm and in PS II at 680 nm. Chlorophyll b and other accessory pigments are able to absorb shorter wavelengths and then transfer their ENERGY to chlorophyll a for photophosphorylation. Such accessory pigments not only enable a WIDER range of wavelength of incoming light to be used for photosynthesis but also protect chlorophyll a from photooxidation.

Question : Suppose there were plants that had a high concentration of Chlorophyll b but lacked chlorophyll a, would it carry out photosynthesis ? Then why do plants have chlorophyll b and other accessory pigments ?

Answer»

Solution :No
Other accessory PIGMENTS ABSORB energy and CONCENTRATES / FOCUSSES on chlorophyll - a. So it is NECESSARY.

Question : SupposeEuphorbia andMazie are grown in the tropical area. (a) Which one of them do you think will be able to survive under such conditions ? (b)Which one of them is more efficient in terms of photosynthetic activity ? (c ) What difference do you think are there in their leaf anatomy ?

Answer»

Solution :(a) Euphorbia is a CAM plant which does FIXATION of `CO_(2)` at night and uses during the day. This condition GIVES ADAPTABILITY of hot atmosphere.
(b) Maize is a `C_(4)` Plant which is more EFFICIENT for photosynthesis which is more functional in lowerconcentration of `CO_(2)` and more `O_(2)` and at higher temperature.

Question : Suppose Euphorbia and Maize are grown in the tropical area. (a) Which one of them do you think will be able to survive under such conditions? (b) Which one of them is more efficient in terms of photosynthetic activity? (c) What differences do you think are there in their leaf anatomy?

Answer»

Solution :(a) Euporbia is a CAM plant. It FIXES `CO_(2)` during night and uses it in day time. It will be ableto survive in hot tropical climate.
(B) Maize being a `C_(4)` plant is more efficient in terms of photosynthetic activity as it is able to use `CO_(2)` at lower level as well as high `O_(2)` and temperature.
( c) Maize PLANTS show kranz anatomy in their leaves. They have granal chloroplast in MESOPHYLL cells and agranal in bundle sheath cells Euphorbia does not have `C_(4)` cycle so kranz anatomy is not found in them.

Question : Suppose a person wears convex galsses for proper vision. Where you think the image of the object is formed in his eyes when he is not using the glasses

Answer»

On the BLIND spot
On the YELLOW spot

Question : Suggest why arteries close to the heart have more elastic fibres in their walls than arteries further away from the heart?

Answer»

Solution :1. Elastic FIBRES allow the artery to stretch and RECOIL as blood PASSES through it.
2. Arteries closer to the heart experience more PRESSURE than arteries further away from the heart.
3. Therefore arteries CLOSE to the heart have more elastic fibres in their walls to cope with high pressure of blood coming from the heart.
