iv) True.

08) An important difference between C3 & C4 plants is photorespiration. Explain how photorespiration occurs in C3 plants.

Answer

In C3 plants some O2 bind to RuBisCO. Hence CO2 fixation is decreased. Here RuBP binds with O2 to form one molecule of phosphoglycerate and phosphoglycolate. This pathway is called photorespiration. In this pathway, there is no synthesis of sugars, ATP and NADPH. Hence photorespiration is a wasteful process. Rather it causes the release of CO2 by using ATP.
09) Write any four agricultural applications of ethylene.

Answer

Agricultural applications of ethylene:

▪️ Influences horizontal growth of seedlings, swelling of the axis and apical hook formation in dicot seedlings.

▪️ Promotes senescence and abscission of plant organs especially of leaves and flowers.

▪️ Promotes fruit ripening.

▪️ Breaks seed and bud dormancy, initiates germination in peanut seeds, sprouting of potato tubers.

10) Define Blackman's law of limiting factors and identify any two important factors which influence the rate of photosynthesis in plants.

Answer

Blackman's law of limiting factors: “If a biochemical process is affected by more than one factor, its rate is determined by the factor nearest to its minimal value: it is the factor which directly affects the process if its quantity is changed.”

Factors which influence the rate of photosynthesis in plants:

• Internal (plant) factors: The number, size, age and orientation of leaves, mesophyll cells and chloroplasts, internal CO2 concentration and amount of chlorophyll.

• External factors: Sunlight, temperature, CO2 concentration and water.

▪️ Zygomorphic: Here, a flower can be divided into two similar halves only in one particular vertical plane.

15) Removal of terminal buds is a usual practice in tea plantation. Explain the reason.

Answer

In higher plants, the growing apical bud inhibits the growth of lateral (axillary) buds. It is known as apical dominance. Removal of shoot tips (decapitation) results in the growth of lateral buds. It makes the tea plants bushier and increases their yield.

b) Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) are morphologically and functionally different. Justify this statement.

Answer

a) Lysosome.

b) Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER): Bear ribosomes on their surface. RER is frequently observed in the cells actively involved in protein synthesis and secretion. They extend to the outer membrane of the nucleus.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER): Ribosomes are absent. SER is the major site for synthesis of lipid. In animal cells lipid-like steroidal hormones are synthesized in SER.

18) Given below is the metaphase of mitosis. Analyze the diagram and draw a sketch of anaphase. Write any two events of anaphase.

Answer

Anaphase:
Two events of anaphase:

• Centromere of each chromosome divides longitudinally resulting in the formation of two daughter chromatids.

• As the spindle fibres contract, the chromatids move from the equator to the opposite poles.

19) According to Chemiosmotic hypothesis, breakdown of proton gradient leads to synthesis of ATP by the ATP synthase enzyme. Explain the two parts of ATP synthase.

Answer

The ATP synthase consists of two parts:

a) CF0: It is embedded in the membrane and forms a trans-membrane channel. It carries out facilitated diffusion of protons across the membrane to the stroma. It results in breakdown of proton gradient.

b) CF1: It protrudes outer to the thylakoid membrane. The energy due to breakdown of gradient causes a conformational change in the CF1 particle. It makes the enzyme to synthesise ATP molecules.
