Knowledge-based Questions & Answers:
Ques-1. What is biological currency?
Ans: Biological currency in plant physiology is ATP.
Ques-2. What is bioenergetics?
Ans: The energy we get from making and breaking of chemical bonds in the molecules in biological organisms is called bioenergetics.
Ques-3. What kilojoule of energy is stored in the phosphate molecule of one ATP?
Ans: 30.55 kilojoules of energy can be stored in one phosphate molecule of one ATP.
Ques-4. What is hydrolysis?
Ans: The production of oxygen, hydrogen and electrons from the breakdown of water with the help of sunlight and chlorophyll is called hydrolysis.
Ques-5. Write the full form of ATP.
Ans: ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate.
Ques-6. What is the optimum temperature for photosynthesis?
Ans: The optimum temperature of photosynthesis is 22° C to 35° C.
Ques-7. What is the first stable product of the Calvin Cycle?
Ans: The first stable product of the Calvin Cycle is 3- Phosphoglyceric Acid.
Ques-8. What is CAM?
Ans: CAM stands for Crassulacean acid metabolism.
Ques-9. What is photosynthesis?
Ans: The production of glucose from chemical reaction between COz and H2O with chlorophyll as catalyst in the presence of sunlight in green plants is called photosynthesis.
Ques-10. What is assimilatory power?
Ans: The process of producing glucose through the assimilation of CO, is called assimilatory power.
Ques-11. What is AMP?
Ans: AMP stands for Adenosine Monophosphate.
Ques-12. What is biological currency?
Ans: In plant physiology, ATP is known as biological Biology currency.
Ques-13. What is photophosphorylation?
Ans: The process of formation of ATP through addition of inorganic phosphate (Pi) with ADP in the presence of light energy is called photophosphorylation.
Ques-14. What is photolysis?
Ans: The process by which oxygen, hydrogen and electrons are released through hydrolysis of water with the help of sunlight and chlorophyll is known as photolysis.
This is why it is called C; cycle.
