Question 1.
What is the full form of NADP?
Answer:
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide phosphate.

Question 2.
What are the complete photosynthetic units of plants?
Answer:
Chloroplasts.

Question 3.
Give one difference between chlorophyll ‘a’ and chlorophyll ‘b’.
Answer:
Chlorophyll (a) has a methyl group (CH3) whereas chlorophyll (b) has an aldehyde group (CHO).

Question 4.
How many ATP molecules are required for the synthesis of one molecule of glucose in the C3 pathway?
Answer:
18 ATP molecules are required for the synthesis of one molecule of glucose.

Question 5.
In which part of the leaves chlorophyll is found?
Answer:
In the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast.

Question 6.
What is the primary acceptor of C02 in the C3 plant? ,
Answer:
RiBulose 1.5 biphosphate (RuBP).

Question 7.
In which part of chloroplast light reaction takes place?
Answer:
Grana.

Question 8.
What is the relation between photosynthetic units and reaction centers?
Answer:
A photosynthetic unit consists of P6g0 and P700 reaction centers of photosystems.
Question 9.
What is the compensation point?
Answer:
The point at which the rate of photosynthesis is equal to the rate of respiration.

Question 10.
What is Kranz’s anatomy?
Answer:
It is a type of leaf structure in which the vascular bundle is surrounded by bundle sheath and mesophyll
cells.

Question 11.
Which kinds of reactions of photosynthesis occur in the grana and stroma of chloroplasts?
Answer:

● Grana light reaction

● Stroma dark reaction

Question 12.
Give the overall general chemical equation of photosynthesis?
Answer:

Question 13.
Expand the abbreviation RuBP, NADP
Answer:
RuBP: Ribulose biphosphate
NADP: Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate

Question 14.
Give two points of difference between sun plants and shade plants.
Answer:
Sun plants need relatively high light intensity to saturate their photosynthetic rates while shade plants
reach saturation at low intensities.

Question 15.
Name the process which is responsible for converting solar energy into chemical energy.
Answer:
Photosynthesis

Question 16.
Wherefrom does oxygen come out during photosynthesis?
Answer:
From water
