Question 21 Mark
If a plant is kept in bright light all the 24 hours for a few days, the dark reaction (biosynthetic phase) will fail to occur.
Answer
False

If a plant is kept in bright light all the 24 hours for a few days, the dark reaction (biosynthetic phase) will continue to occur because the dark reaction is independent of light and it occurs simultaneously with the light dependent reaction.

Question 31 Mark
The starting point of carbon cycle is the release of carbon dioxide by animals during respiration.
Answer
False

There is no start point or end point in the carbon cycle, the carbon is constantly circulated between the atmosphere and the living organisms.

Question 51 Mark
If you immerse a leaf intact on the plant in ice cold water, it will continue to photosynthesise in bright sunshine.
Answer
False
Ice cold water will hamper the process of photosynthesis in the immersed leaf, even if there is sufficient sunshine because the temperature is an important factor for the rate of photosynthesis.

Question 61 Mark
The outside atmospheric temperature has no effect on the rate of photosynthesis.
Answer
False
The atmospheric temperature is an important external factor affecting photosynthesis. The rate of photosynthesis increases up to the temperature $35^{\circ} C$ after which the rate falls and the photosynthesis stops after $40^{\circ} C$.

Question 71 Mark
The rate of photosynthesis continues to rise as long as the intensity of light rises.
Answer
False
Photosynthesis increases with the light intensity up to a certain limit only and then it gets stabilized.

Question 151 Mark
Starch produced in a leaf remains stored in it for 2-3 weeks before it is used by other parts of the plant.
Answer
False
Correct Statement: Starch produced in a leaf is stored temporarily in the leaf until the process of photosynthesis. At night it is converted back into soluble sugar and translocated to different part of the body either for the utilization or for the storage.

Answer
False
Correct Statement: Dark reaction of photosynthesis is independent of light and occurs simultaneously with light reaction.

Question 191 Mark
If you immerse an intact leaf of a plant in ice cold water, it will continue to photosynthesise in bright sunshine.
Answer
FALSE, ice cold water will hamper the photosynthesis process as temperature has a direct influence on this process.
