3 Help in CO2fixation by photosynthesis,increase level of Yzx4 2

oxygen ,Primary producers on ocean,used as food,

hydrocolloids(water holding substances)are obtained,
Algin and carrageen are used as commercially, agar is
obtained from Gelidium and Gracillaria,agar used to
grow microbes, preparation of ice -creams and jellies,
Chlorella and Spirulina used as protein enriched food
suplements ,food suplements for space travellers etc.
(any four correct responseslike this)
4 Nitrogensae enzyme/Mo-Fe protein 1 2

leg-haemoglobin 1

5 In C3 plants O2 binds to RuBisCO. 1 2

The RuBPinstead of being converted to 2 molecules of
PGA,binds with 02 to form one molecule of
phosphoglycerate and phosphoglycolate in a pathway 1

called photorespiration./Conditions for

photorespiration-Dual nature of RuBisCO,increasedO2
concentration, moderate temperature.
In the photorespiratory pathway -neither synthesis of
sugars nor of ATP.awastefull process(Y2score)
ReleaseC02 with the utilization of ATP.
No synthesis of ATPor NADPH
(any two related responsesof photorespiration give
full score 2) ORequation (full score)
6 Ripening of fruits, breaks seed and bud dormancy, 1 2

initiates germination in peanut seeds, sprouting of

potato tubers, promotes rapid internode/petiole
elongation in deep water rice plants, helps leaves 1

/upper parts of the shoot to remain above water,

promotes root growth and root hair formation, helping
the plants to increase their absorption surface, initiate
flowering and for synchronising fruit-set in pineapples,
induces flowering in mango, promote senescenceand
abscission of leaves and flowers,fruits and promote
female flowers in cucurbits (any two correct responses. .. ,:. ';.-.-

like this)
7 If a chemical process is affected by more than one 1 2

factor, then its rate will be determined by the factor

which is nearest to its minimal value: it is the factor
which directly affects the processif its quantity is
changed.(Definitionor Explanation)
The plant factors include the number, size, age and
orientation of leaves, mesophyll cells and Yz

chloroplasts, internal C02 concentration and the Yz

amount of chlorophyll. external factors -availability of
sunlight,temperature, C02 concentration and water
(Any two )

8 Endodermis is impervious to water becauseof a band

of suberised matrix called the casparian strip.
Water molecules are unable to penetrate the layer, so
they are directed to wall regions that are not suberised 2

into the cells through the membrane (symplast). 2

(anyone reason give full score)

9 a iv)inflorescence 1 3
Actinomorphic-Flower can be divided into two equal 1
radial halves in any radial plane passingthrough the
centre/floral symbol with example/Radial symmetry.
b
Zygomorphic-Flower can be divided into two similar 1
halves only in one particular vertical plane/ floral
symbol with example/ bilateral symmetry.
10 a Cork cambium/phellogen/inter fascicular cambium 1 3

In dicot stems, the cells of cambium present

b between primary xylem and primary phloem is the 1
intrafascicular cambium.
The cells of medullary cells, adjoining these
intrafascicular cambium become meristematic and
form the interfascicular cambium. Thus, a continuous
ring of vascular cambium is formed .Cambium partially
primary and partially secondary
Or the intrafascicular cambium joins with _
interfascicular cambium and form vascular cambial
ring-give Iscore(Any one response of formation of
vascular cambium)

In dicot root ,the vascular cambium is completely 1

secondary in origin.
It originates from the tissue located just below the
phloem bundles,a portion of pericycle tissue above the
protoxylem forming a complete and continuous wavy
ring and later become circular.(Any one response)
Or the diagrammatic sketch showing the formation of
vascular cambium /cambium in dicot stem and dicot
root give 2Scores
11 a Lysosomes 1 3

b Yz
The endoplasmic reticulum bearing ribosomes on their
surface is called rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)./its
diagrammatic representation.
In the absence of ribosomes they appear smooth and
are called smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)/its Yz

diagrammatic representation. Yz
RER:-involved in protein synthesis and secretion./
They are extensive and continuous with the outer
membrane of the nucleus.(any one function) Yz
SERis the major site for synthesis of lipid./ In animal
cells lipid-like steroidal hormones are synthesised in
SER.(anyone function)
