Answer: The pea and lettuce plants are leguminous plants.
Explanation:
The pea and lettuce plants must take nitrogen from the soil which they get after the symbiotic association with the nitrogen fixing bacteria. Nitrate and ammonia are the two components of nitrogen that can be taken from the soil and used as a source of nitrogen. Nitrogen is required for the growth of plant and it is the important component of chlorophyll pigment. Chlorophyll pigment is necessary for the process of photosynthesis in which the chlorophyll pigment traps sunlight energy that is involved in the splitting of molecule of water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Answer:
D) In case 1, both PS I and PS II completely lose function; in case 2, a proton gradient is still produced.
Explanation:
The light dependent reaction of photosynthesis, which produces the ATP and NADPH needed in the light independent stage of the process, includes complexes of proteins and pigments called PHOTOSYSTEMS. These photosystems (I and II) are key to the functionality of the light dependent reactions in the thylakoid.
The major pigment present in both photosystems is CHLOROPHYLL A, which absorbs light energy and transfers electrons to the reaction center. Chlorophyll B is only an accessory pigment meaning it can be done without. Hence, if all of the chlorophyll A is inactivated in the algae but leaves chlorophyll B intact as in case 1, both PS I and PS II will lose their function because Chlorophyll A is the major pigment that absorbs light energy in both photosystems.
In case 2, if PS I is inhibited and PS II is unaffected, a PROTON GRADIENT WILL STILL BE PRODUCED because the splitting of water into protons (H+) and electrons (e-) occurs in PSII. Hence, H+ ions can still be pumped into the inner membrane of the thylakoid in order to build a proton gradient even without the occurrence of PS I.
