Q:

In plants, chloroplasts are necessary for 

A) photosynthesis B) storage
C) cell movement D) respiration
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) photosynthesis

Explanation:

Plants are producers, which means they make their own food. Chloroplasts are organelles found in eukaryotic and plant cells that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant.

Plants use energy from sunlight to help make their food, but they need chloroplasts to do it.

 

Hence, in plants, chloroplasts are necessary for Photosynthesis.

Q:

An irregular mode of reproduction resulting in the development of an embryo without fertilization is called

1.Parthenogenesis 2.Apogamy 3.Sporophytic budding

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

A) 1 only B) 2 only
C) 2 and 3 only D) 1, 2 and 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

In animals, parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell. In plants parthenogenesis is a component process of apomixis.Apogamy is a type of reproduction, occurring in some ferns, in which the sporophytedevelops from the gametophyte without fusion of gametes.Adventitious embryony also called sporophytic budding, is a type of apomixis in which an embryo develops directly from nucellus or integument tissue.So, all three are correct.

A) production of lactic acid as an end product B) production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose
C) conversion of radiant energy into chemical energy D) storage of energy in a polysaccharide
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose

Explanation:

The three steps within the aerobic respiration process are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Photosynthesis builds glucose, and what was built in photosynthesis is broken down during aerobic respiration.

 

Hence, production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose is the main result of aerobic respiration.
