In order to study and prove a particular physiological process in plants, the following experiment was set up. Study the same and then answer the question that follow: In order to obtain accurate results, the bottle 'C' should be covered with black cloth. Why?
Answer
The bottle 'C' when covered with a black cloth will have no scope for photosynthesis. Hence, only the process of respiration can be observed.
In order to study and prove a particular physiological process in plants, the following experiment was set up. Study the same and then answer the question that follow: Represent the physiological process named in question 4.1 in the form of a chemical equation.
Answer
$C _6 H _{12} O _6+6 O _2 \longrightarrow 6 CO _2+6 H _2 O +38$ ATP (Energy)
In order to study and prove a particular physiological process in plants, the following experiment was set up. Study the same and then answer the question that follows:
Name the physiological process being studied.
Answer
The experiment was set up to study that $CO _2$ is given off from living plant material which performs respiration.
Given below is a set of six experimental set-ups (A-F), kept in this state for about 24 hours.
What is the purpose of keeping a test-tube containing limewater in each flask?
Answer
Limewater absorbs $CO_2$ present in the flasks. If $CO_2 $is produced, limewater turns milky.
Given below is a set of six experimental set-ups (A-F), kept in this state for about 24 hours
.
In how many flasks, the different plant parts have been kept under observation?
Answer
Five flasks (A-E) are having different plant parts for observation.
The following diagram refers to an apparatus which is used to demonstrate a physiological process: Define the biological process shown in the experiment.
Answer
The catabolic process of releasing energy from simple sugars for carrying out life processes is called respiration.
The following diagram refers to an apparatus which is used to demonstrate a physiological process: Name the biological process which causes the above rise.
The following diagram refers to an apparatus which is used to demonstrate a physiological process: What is the purpose of keeping boiled peas soaked in a disinfectant in test tube Y?
Answer
In test tube Y, boiled peas soaked in disinfectant are kept because the boiled seeds are dead and cannot respire. Therefore, the process of respiration does not take place in test tube Y.
The following diagram refers to an apparatus which is used to demonstrate a physiological process:
What is the purpose of keeping potassium hydroxide solution in test tubes X and Y?
Answer
Potassium hydroxide solution is kept in test tube X and Y to check the presence of $CO_2 $, as KOH can absorb $CO_2 $ if it is produced.
Can cell respiration occur in any organism at a temperature of about 65°C? Give reason.
Answer
Cell respiration cannot occur in any organism at a temperature of about 65°C because the enzymes involved in respiration become inactivated at high temperatures.
How is tilling of the soil useful for the crops growing in it?
Answer
Tilling makes the soil porous and airy. The underground parts of the plants get a sufficient amount of oxygen for respiration. In this way, tilling helps the crops to grow faster.
