Lysosome
Ribosome
Chloroplast
Chloroplast
With reference to factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis, which of the following statements is not correct?
Light saturation for CO2 fixation occurs at 10% of full sunlight
Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration upto 0.05% can enhance CO2 fixation rate
C3 plants responds to higher temperatures with enhanced photosynthesis while C4 plants have much lower temperature optimum
C3 plants responds to higher temperatures with enhanced photosynthesis while C4 plants have much lower temperature optimum
Phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP) is the primary CO2 acceptor in :
C3 plants
C4 plants
C2 plants
C2 plants
Which of the following is not a product of light reaction of photosynthesis?
ATP
NADH
Oxygen
NADPH
Herbicide that blocks electrons transport from PS-II to PS-I by inhibiting electron flow between plastoquinone → Cytochrome is
DCMU
Paraquat
DCPIP
None of these
A.
DCMU
DCMU is a selective herbicide that acts as a potent inhibitor of PS-II. Paraquat inhibits PS-I by producing superoxides.
DCPIP is a dye used to measure the rate of photosynthesis.

Glucose and oxygen are labelled
Oxygen is labelled, but glucose is normal
Glucose and oxygen are normal
Glucose is labelled, but oxygen is normal
Cotyledons and testa are edible parts of
groundnut and pomegranate
walnut and tamarind
french bean and coconut
cashew nut and litchi
