    This document contains a worksheet on photosynthesis with short answer and long answer questions. It asks about accessory pigments, how plants in forests perform photosynthesis with filtered light, the pigment responsible for initiating photosynthesis and why the rate is higher in red and blue light. It also asks about the light reaction products, why photorespiration does not occur in C4 plants, Kranz anatomy, how ocean photosynthetic organisms adapt to different light conditions, and an explanation of Blackman's law of limiting factors. The long answer questions ask about ATP synthesis during light reaction, why the action and absorption spectra do not overlap, features of C4 plants, the role of RUBISCO, proton gradient development during

    Worksheet

    PHOTOSYNTHESIS
    Grade XI
    Date:07-11-2023

    SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS

    1. Define accessory pigments. State their significance in photosynthesis. 2.


    How are short plants growing below thick canopies and receiving filtered
    light able to carry out photosynthesis in tropical rainforests?
    3. Name the pigment that is responsible for its ability to initiate the process
    of photosynthesis. The rate of photosynthesis is higher in the red and blue
    regions of the spectrum of light, why?
    4. What are the important events and end products of light reaction?
    5. Why does photorespiration not take place in C4 plants?
    6. In what kind of plants do you come across ‘Kranz’ anatomy? To which
    conditions are those plants better adapted? How are these plants better
    adapted than the plants, which lack this anatomy?
    7. Photosynthetic organisms occur at different depths in the ocean. Do they
    receive qualitatively and quantitatively the same light? How do they adapt
    to carry out photosynthesis under these conditions? Why does the rate of
    photosynthesis decrease at higher temperatures?
    8. State and explain Blackman’s law of limiting factors.
    LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS
    1. Explain how during light reaction of photosynthesis, ATP synthesis is
    a chemiosmotic phenomenon.
    2. . Which property of the pigment is responsible for its ability to initiate the
    process of photosynthesis? Why is the rate of photosynthesis higher in the
    red and blue regions of the spectrum of light?
    3. In the figure given below, the light line indicates action spectrum for
    photosynthesis and the black line indicates the absorption spectrum of
    chlorophyll a, answer the following:

    a. What does the action spectrum indicate? How can we plot an action
    spectrum? Explain with an example.
    b. How can we derive an absorption spectrum for any substance? c. If
    chlorophyll a is responsible for light reaction of photosynthesis, why do the
    action spectrum and absorption spectrum not overlap?
    4. What are the important events and end products of the light reaction? 5.
    What special anatomical features are displayed by leaves of C4 plants? How
    do they provide advantage over the structure of C3 plants?

    6. Why is the RUBISCO enzyme more appropriately called RUBP Carboxylase


    oxygenase and what important role does it play in photosynthesis

    7. Explain how the proton gradient develops across the thylakoid membrane for
    the synthesis of ATP during the photochemical phase of photosynthesis.

    8. A cyclic process is occurring in C3 plants, which is light dependent and needs


    oxygen. This process does not release energy but rather consumes energy
