1.

Which of the following statements is false?

a)

Usually chloroplasts align themselves along the walls of mesophyll cells, so that they get optimum quantity of incident light

b)

Within chloroplast there is a membranous system consisting of grana, stromal lamellae and stroma

c)

There is division of labour within chloroplast

d)

In grana CO2 is fixed

2.

The membranous system of grana is responsible for –

a)

Trapping light energy but not ATP and NADPH2 formation

b)

Trapping light energy and also for fixation of CO2

c)

For ATP and NADPH2 formation but not for light trapping

d)

For light capturing and also for NADPH2 and ATP formation

3.

In stroma –

a)

Enzymatic reactions incorporate CO2 into the plant leading to ATP and NADH2 formation

b)

Enzymatic reactions incorporate CO2 into plant leading to the synthesis of sugar, which in turn forms starch

c)

Light energy is captured to form glucose

d)

ATP and NADPH2 are splitted and H2O and O2 comes out

4.

Leaf pigments, (Chl a, Chl b, Xanthophyll and carotene) can be separated by –

a)

Paper chromatography

b)

Electrophoresis

c)

X-ray diffusion

d)

ELISA test

5.

Which one is not an accessory photosynthetic pigment?

a)

Chl b

b)

Xanthophyll

c)

Carotene

d)

Chl a

6.

Why are the absorption spectrum of Chl a and the action spectrum of photosynthesis are identical?

a)

Chl a absorbs both red and blue light maximumly

b)

Chl a reflects blue light

c)

Accessory pigments contribute energy to drive photosynthesis

d)

Different wave lengths of light have different energy

7.

If green plant cells are incubated with O18-labelled CO2, what molecule will become radioactive as the cells are exposed to light?

a)

c)

Sugar

d)

O2

10.

One scientist cultured Cladophora in a suspension of Azotobacter and illuminated the culture by splitting light through a prism. He observed that bacteria accumulated mainly in the region of :

a)

Blue and red light

b)

Violet and green light

c)

Indigo and green light

d)

Orange and yellow light
