What is the advantage of light reactions producing ATP and NADPH2NADP{H_2} on stromal side of thylakoid membrane?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Calvin cycle consumes ATP and NADPH2NADP{H_2} from stroma

Joseph Priestley observed that when mouse alone was placed in a closed bell jar with burning candle, it was suffocated and candle burning extinguished but when mouse was placed with a mint plant in the same bell jar, that mouse stayed alive and candle continued to burn. What he concluded from this experiment?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both (a) and (b)
Option C is correct because Priestley's experiment showed that burning candles remove air and mint plants restore it, allowing the mouse to survive and the candle to continue burning.

Assertion: During the process of photosynthesis amount of organic matter synthesised by producers per unit time and per unit area is referred to as net primary productivity.

Reason: Due to abundance of sunlight primary productivity is usually high and sustained throughout the year in temperate areas.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If both assertion and reason are false
Option D (If both assertion and reason are false) is correct because net primary productivity includes accounting for respiration, and primary productivity is not high and sustained throughout the year in temperate areas due to seasonal changes.
