Answers

Answer 1.
Deuteromycetes

Answer 2.
Abscissic acid

Answer 3.
Cytokinin

Answer 4.
d. Chlorophyll a

Answer 5.
a. Synthesis and storage of energy – Mitochondria.
b. Packaging and delivery of materials – Golgi apparatus.
c. Digestion of intercellular materials – Lysosome.
d. Formation of basal body of cilia and flagella – Centriole.

Answer 6.
4C – Oxyloacetic acid
4C – Malic acid/ fumaric acid
5C – α-Ketoglutaric acid

Answer 7.
In root, the protoxylem are in exarch arrangement, while in stem, endarch.

Answer 8.
After mitosis chromosome doesn’t change. Because its division doesn’t cause any decrease in amount of chromosome. But meosis is known as reduction division. So it bring half of the chromosome number.

Answer 9.
a. DNA division occurs at S-phase.
b. X – Metaphase: During which chromosome align at metaphase plate.
Y – Anaphase: Centromere of the sister chromatids split and chromatids separate. Chromatids move to opposite poles.

Answer 10.
Fluid – mosaic model. According to this model quasi-fluid nature of lipid enables lateral movement of proteins within the overall bilayer. This ability to move within the membrane is measured as its fluidity. This fluid nature of the membrane is also important from the point of view of function like cell growth.

Answer 11.
• The members of Rhodophyceae are known as red algae.
• The food is stored as floridean starch.

Answer 12.
Within the chloroplast there is the membranous system consisting of grana, the stroma lamellae, and the fluid stroma. There is a clear division of labour within the chloroplast. The membrane system is respon¬sible for trapping the light energy and also for the synthesis of ATP and NADPH.

Answer 13.
In this plant, the symptoms are mosaic formation, leaf rolling and curling, yellowing and veinclearing, dwarfing and stunted growth.

Answer 14.
a. A – Hypertonic, C – Hypotonic
b. B – Solution is isotonic. The osmotic pressure of the external solution and cell sap are same. Hence no net flow of water towards inside or outside of potato pieces.

b. Bundle sheeth cells around the vascu lar bundles.
c. C₃ cycle C₄ cycle
1. Co₂ accepter is Co₂ accepter is PEP RuBp
2. The enzyme – The enzyme involved
RUBISCO – PEP case

Answer 16.
a. C₄ Pathway or Hatch and Slack pathway.
b. Yes. Kranz anatomy.
c. Phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP).
d. In C₄ plants photorespiration is absent so the productivity is high.
