Answer:
1) Sucrose is synthesized in the chloroplast stroma and exported from photosynthetic cells to provide energy and reduced carbon for non photosynthetic plant cells. - FALSE
2) The enzyme rubisco is unusual in that, depending on conditions, it exhibits two different enzymatic activities. - TRUE
3) Ninety percent of the solar energy collected by a photosystem complex is absorbed when photons strike a special pair of chlorophyll molecules at the reaction center of the complex. - FALSE
4) The energy requirement expressed as ATP consumed per molecule of carbon dioxide fixed is higher for a C3 plant than for a C4 plant. - FALSE
5) The ultimate electron donor for the photosynthetic generation of NADPH is always water. - FALSE
Answer:
a.Many mitochondrial genes resemble proteobacteria genes, while the genes in the chloroplast resemble genes found in some photosynthetic bacteria.
c.Mitochondria and chloroplasts both have their own circular DNA and 70S ribosomes that are similar to those found in bacteria.
d.Mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate by a process similar to mitosis.
Explanation:
Endosymbiotic theory states that mitochondria and chloroplast which are organelles of eukaryotic cells were once independently living micro-organisms but with due course of time eukaryotic cells engulfed them and they become an integral part of these eukaryotic cells.
The resemblance between mitochondrial genes with those of proteobacteria and chloroplast genes with photosynthetic bacteria strongly support endosymbiotic theory. Apart from this, the presence of their own DNA that too circular just like prokaryotic microbes and 70 S ribosomes also support this theory. Also just like prokaryotic cells, before cell division mitochondria and chloroplasts undergo replication by means of a process known as binary fission.
Answer:
f organelles were not functioning properly, which of the following would be true?
A. Both unicellular and multicellular organisms would not be able to carry out the life functions to maintain homeostasis.
B. Only unicellular organisms would not be able to carry out the life functions to maintain homeostasis.
C. Only multicellular organisms would not be able to carry out the life functions to maintain homeostasis.
D. Both unicellular and multicellular organisms would function normally.
Explanation:
Answer:
Option 1.
Explanation:
r-selected species may be defined as the species that has higher growth rate, shows less parental care and the rate of survival of the off spring is low as compared with k selected species.
Black widow spiders have the ability to produce 1000 offspring. Their chances of survival are extremely low and only few species of black widow spiders survive. Hence, black widow spider is r-selected species.
Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
