The site of light reaction in the cells of a green leaf is: (a) Nucleus (b) Grana of chloroplast (c) Cytoplasm (d) Stroma of chloroplast

Draw a neat, labelled diagram to show that oxygen is released during photosynthesis.

Expand the abbreviations: (a) NADP (b) ADP

Draw a neat, labelled diagram of a chloroplast.

Study the diagram given below and fill in the blanks with suitable words: In order to prove that carbon dioxide is necessary for (a) ............... , a potted plant is placed in dark for 48 hours to (b) ............... the leaves. A part of a leaf is inserted into a conical flask containing potassium hydroxide solution. This is to absorb (c) ............... from the flask. The plant is then placed in sunlight for a few hours. The experimental leaf is tested for starch. The part of the leaf that was inside the conical flask turns (d) ............... , whereas the part of the leaf outside turns (e) ............... in colour.

Write the overall chemical equation for photosynthesis.

Name the following: (a) The fully developed part of the ovary containing a mature ovum. (b) A waxy layer on the upper epidermis of leaves meant to reduce Transpiration. (c) The ear ossicle which opens into the oval window of Cochlea. (d) The physiological process which is the starting point of all food chains. (e) An insect which is a classic example of natural selection due to industrial melanism.

A potted plant with variegated leaves was kept in dark for 24 hours and then placed in bright sunlight. Answer the following questions. (a) Which aspect of photosynthesis is being tested in the above diagram? (b) Why was the plant kept in dark for 24 hours? (c) After the starch test what will be the colour of the yellow and green parts of the leaf? Give reasons to support your answer.
