Sample questions

  1. 1.The optimum temperature for photosynthesis is:
    • a.$10 - 15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
    • b.$60 - 65^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
    • c.$40 - 45^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
    • d.$25 - 35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
  2. 2.164. The specific function of light energy in the process of photosynthesis is to
    • A.reduce carbon dioxide
    • B.synthesise glucose
    • C.activate chlorophyll
    • D.split water
  3. 3.Why is it not possible to demonstrate respiration in a green plant kept in sunlight?
    • A.Photosynthesis produces oxygen, masking the oxygen consumed during respiration, making respiration unmeasurable.
    • B.Sunlight inhibits respiration, so the plant stops respiring entirely during the day.
    • C.Respiration occurs only in darkness, so it cannot be observed in sunlight.
    • D.The plant uses all available oxygen for photosynthesis, leaving none for respiration.
  4. 4.During photosynthesis, the oxygen in glucose comes from (a) CO₂
    • A.CO₂
    • B.water
    • C.both CO₂ and water
    • D.oxygen via air
  5. 5.Which plant tissue is responsible for transporting starch from the leaves to all parts of the plant body?
    • A.Xylem.
    • B.Phloem.
    • C.Cortex.
    • D.Epidermis.
