Question 3382

Most plants absorb nitrogen in the form of:

Aproteins

Bnitrates and nitrites

Curea

Dnitrates, nitrites and urea

Show answer

D. nitrates, nitrites and ureaExplanation: Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plants, used in the synthesis of amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, and chlorophyll. Plants absorb nitrogen from the soil primarily in the inorganic forms of nitrate (NO₃⁻) and nitrite (NO₂⁻). Urea, when applied as fertilizer, is first converted by soil bacteria into ammonia (NH₃) and then into nitrates through nitrification before being absorbed by roots. Key Steps: Ammonification: Conversion of organic nitrogen (from dead plants/animals) into ammonia. Nitrification: Conversion of ammonia into nitrites and then nitrates by bacteria like Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter. Assimilation: Uptake of nitrates by plants to form amino acids and proteins.

Question 3377

Oxygen liberated during photosynthesis comes from:

Awater

Bcarbon dioxide

Cglucose

DBoth carbon dioxide and glucose.

Show answer

A. waterExplanation: During photosynthesis, green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O) into glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂). The oxygen gas released in this process comes specifically from the splitting of water molecules — a reaction known as photolysis of water, which occurs in the light-dependent reaction inside the chloroplasts. Chemical equation: 6CO₂ + 12H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ + 6H₂O The oxygen atoms in the released O₂ come entirely from the original water molecules, as demonstrated by isotopic experiments using heavy oxygen (O¹⁸) tracers.
