Porphyra reproduce asexually by non-motile
spores and sexually by non-motile gametes.

Chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of
one or more carbon molecules (usually carbon
dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic
matter by the use of energy from the chemical
reaction between the inorganic molecules (e.g.
hydrogen gas,hydrogen sulfide) or methane,
rather than sunlight, as in photosynthesis e.g.,
Nitrobacter and sulphur bacteria. Some of
organisms can fix atmospheric nitrogen in
specialised cells called heterocysts, e.g., Nostoc
and Anabaena. These are photosynthetic
autotrophic cyanobacteria.

Rate of transport reaches a maximum when all
transport proteins are occupied. Beyond this
point, the transport of proteins does not occur.
Since facilitated diffusion and active transport

Water splitting complex is associated with PS-II
and is located on the inner side of the thylakoid
membrane (facing the lumen of thylakoids). It

The C4 pathway initiates with a molecule called
phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) which is a 3-carbon
molecule. This is the primary CO2 acceptor and
the carboxylation takes place with the help of an
enzyme called PEP carboxylase. They yield a 4-
C molecule called oxaloacetic acid (OAA). The
C4 acid OAA is formed in the mesophyll cells. It
then forms other 4-carbon compounds like malic
acid or aspartic acid in the mesophyll cells itself,
which are transported to the bundle sheath cells.
In the bundle sheath cells these C4 acids are
broken down to release CO2 and a 3-carbon
molecule. The
3-carbon molecule is transported back to the
mesophyll where it is converted to PEP.

Few species have evolved adaptations to avoid
unfavourable conditions in time like bears going
