Question 91 Mark
Why Is Photosynthesis Important in Nature?
Answer
The body of all living organisms both plants and animals is dependent on the food that has been synthesized in a green cell by photosynthesis. The purification of the atmosphere whereby the volume of $CO _2$ remains fairly constant due to the photosynthetic activity of green plants. Oxygen is given out by green plants.

Question 111 Mark
Why green leaves are thin and broad?
Answer
Green leaves are thin and broad so that they can receive more light and can photosynthesize more efficiently.

Question 121 Mark
What is the importance of photosynthesis in the life of the following:

Non-green plants

Answer
Non-green plants such as saprophytes and parasites use the food prepared by green plants during photosynthesis as a source of their own nutrition.

Question 131 Mark
What is the importance of photosynthesis in the life of the following:

Green plants

Answer
Green plants are able to build up complex energy-rich molecules of carbohydrates which are further used for different metabolic activities of cells.

Question 141 Mark
A potted plant was taken in order to prove a factor necessary for photosynthesis. The potted plant was kept in the dark for 24 hours. One of the leaves was covered with black paper in the centre. The potted plant was then placed in sunlight for a few hours.

Write a balanced chemical equation to represent the process of photosynthesis.

Answer
Chemical equation for the process of photosynthesis:

$\ce {6CO_2 + 12H_2O ->[Light energy][chlorophyll] C_6H_12O_6 + 6H_2O + 6O_2}$

Question 151 Mark
A potted plant was taken in order to prove a factor necessary for photosynthesis. The potted plant was kept in the dark for 24 hours. One of the leaves was covered with black paper in the centre. The potted plant was then placed in sunlight for a few hours.

During the starch test, why was the leaf

(1) boiled in water

(2) boiled in methylated spirit

Answer

(1) The leaf was boiled in water to destroy enzymes so that further chemical changes do not take place in the leaf.

(2) The leaf was boiled in methylated spirit to dissolve chlorophyll.

Question 161 Mark
A potted plant was taken in order to prove a factor necessary for photosynthesis. The potted plant was kept in the dark for 24 hours. One of the leaves was covered with black paper in the centre. The potted plant was then placed in sunlight for a few hours.

Why was the plant placed in the dark before beginning the experiment?

Answer
Before beginning the experiment, the plant was kept in dark in order to destarch it, i.e. to remove the pre-existing starch from the storage organs.

Question 201 Mark
Name the molecules which are called assimilatory power? Why are they called so?
Answer
ATP and $NADPH_2$ are called assimilatory power. They are called so because they provide the energy requirement for $CO _2$ assimilation during the dark reaction of photosynthesis.

Question 211 Mark
How is the rate of photosynthesis affected when a green plant gets the green light?
Answer
The rate of photosynthesis decreases and finally stops when the green plant gets green light because green light is not absorbed but reflected back by the plant.
