The diagram alongside refers to an experiment in which the apparatus was set up with the light source 10 cm away from the plant. After 15 minutes the number of bubbles evolved per minute from the cut stem was recorded. The light source was moved to 20 cm away from the plant, left for 15 minutes and the number of bubbles evolved per minute was again recorded. The experiment was repeated with the light source at distances of 40, 60, 80 and 100 cm away from the plant. Plot a graph for the results obtained and answer the following questions.
(i) From the graph it seems likely that the rate of bubbling per minute at 50 cm would have been
(a) 2.0 (b) 2.5 (c) 3.0 (d) 3.5
(ii) The gas produced by the plant during the experiment was
(a) air (b) oxygen (c) carbon dioxide (d) nitrogen (e) hydrogen
(iii) The gas collected comes due to the breakdown of
(a) glucose (b) starch (c) water (d) air (e) ATP
(iv) If ice cubes were added to the water, the rate of bubble formation would
(a) Stay the same.
(b) Increase because more water is added.
(c) Decrease because the temperature drops.
(d) Decrease because water freezes.
(e) Cannot tell from the information given.
(v) If some sodium bicarbonate is added to the water the rate of bubble formation
(a) Increases because more respiration occurs.
(b) Increases because more photosynthesis occurs.
(c) Increases because the gas becomes less soluble.
(d) Decreases because carbon dioxide acts as a limiting factor.
(e) Decreases because respiration decreases.
Given below is the representation of a certain phenomenon in nature. With four organisms 1-4.
Name one natural element which all the organisms 2-4 and even 5 are getting from No. 1 for their survival.
Given alongside is the diagram of an experimental set-up:
Will it work satisfactorily? Given reason.
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?
Differentiate Between:
Light reaction and Dark reaction.
Choose the Odd One Out
Match the terms given in column A with column B:
| Column A | Column B | ||
| (a) | Chlorophyll | (i) | Removes/absorbs CO2 |
| (b) | Methylated spirit | (ii) | Tests presence of starch |
| (c) | Potassium hydroxide | (iii) | Traps solar energy |
| (d) | Iodine solution | (iv) | Produces oxygen |
| (e) | Water | (v) | Bleaches chlorophyll |
Given below is the figure of an experimental set-up, showing a physiological act of the plants. Study and answer the following questions:
- What is the objective of this experiment?
- Name and define the process shown here.
- Why do we destarch the leaves before performing the experiment?
- How do we destarch the leaves?
- What will be the observation when we pour iodine solution over the bleached experimental leaf?
- Write a well-balanced equation for the above process.
