CBSEENBI11002766

Herbicide that blocks electrons transport from PS-II to PS-I by inhibiting electron flow between plastoquinone → Cytochrome is

  • DCMU

  • Paraquat

  • DCPIP

  • None of these

Solution

A.

DCMU

DCMU is a selective herbicide that acts as a potent inhibitor of PS-II. Paraquat inhibits PS-I by producing superoxides.

DCPIP is a dye used to measure the rate of photosynthesis.

Question
CBSEENBI11002767

Statement I Microtubules are formed only in animal cells. 

Statement II Microtubules are made up of a protein called myosin.

Choose the correct option

  • Statement I is correct and statement II is incorrect.

  • Statement II is correct and statement I is incorrect.

  • Both statement are correct

  • Both statements are incorrect

Solution

D.

Both statements are incorrect

Microtubules are found in both animal and plant cells and are formed of the protein tubulin.

Question
CBSEENBI11002769

Torsion of visceral mass is seen in animals belonging to the class

  • Cephalopoda

  • Scaphopoda

  • Amphineura

  • Gastropoda

Solution

D.

Gastropoda

Animals of class-Gastropoda of phylum-Mollusca undergo twisting of torsion of the visceral mass during development, leading to the conversion of the symmetrical embryo into an asymmetrical adult.

Question
CBSEENBI11002770

A plant is provided with the ideal conditions for photosynthesis and supplied with isotope 14 CO2. When the products of the process are analysed carefully, what would be the nature of products?

  • Glucose and oxygen are labelled

  • Oxygen is labelled, but glucose is normal

  • Glucose and oxygen are normal 

  • Glucose is labelled, but oxygen is normal

Solution

D.

Glucose is labelled, but oxygen is normal

In the process of photosynthesis

6CO2 + 12H2O hv C6H12O6  + 6H2O + 6O2 

Plants manufacture glucose from H2O and CO2 and oxygen gas is released. So, due to the isotopic carbon of CO2, only glucose will be labelled, but oxygen will be normal.
