related to the experiment. (Viva-voce)
Name of experiment

Ans: Hydrilla plant experiment

Aim of experiment

Ans: To demonstrate the evolution of oxygen during photosynthesis

From where oxygen is evolved?

Ans:By splitting of water in presence of light during light reaction

Why should you select hydrilla plant ?

Ans: Hydrilla is an aquatic plant. The experiment is conducted in water.

Where does photosynthesis occur ?

Ans: Chloroplast of mesophyll in Leaves

What are the requiremnts for photosynthes?

Ans: light, water, CO2, Chlorophyll, optimum temperature.

Name of experiment

Ans: Paper chromatography

Aim of experiment

Ans: To Separate chloroplast pigments from leaf

What are the 4 type of pigments ?

Ans: Chlorophyll a - Bright green colour
Chlorophyll b – Yellow green colour
Xanthophyll – Yellow
Carotene _ Orange
Why should you select acetone/ petroleum ether ?

Ans: Chlorophyll pigments dissolve only in organic solvent.

What is the role of pigments ?

Ans: Absorb light energy

Which light does a plant absorb more

Ans: Blue and red .

Name of experiment

Ans: Fermentation by yeast

Aim of experiment

Ans: To demonstrate anaerobic respiration ( fermentation)

What is anaerobic respiration ?

Ans: Incomplete oxidation of a respiratory substrate in the absence of oxygen

What are the products of anaerobic respiration.

Ans: Ethyl alcohol + CO2

What is the inference of this experiment ?

Ans: lime water in test tube turn milky. CO2 react with lime water ( calcium hydroxide) form
Calcium carbonate

In which situation anaerobic respiration occur in plants.

Ans: During seed germination.
