Anoxygenic photosynthesis is characteristic of
Anoxygenic photosynthesis is characteristic of
Updated On: Jul 13, 2024
- Rhodospirillum
- Spirogyra
- Chlamydomonas
- Ulva.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
In Rhodospir ilium, electron donor is organic compound instead of water hence no oxygen is released, i.e., anoxygenic photosynthesis occurs. In other plants water is used as electron donor and H+ and 02 are produced during photolysis of water.

- A balloon is made of a material of surface tension S and has a small outlet. It is filled with air of density \( \rho \). Initially the balloon is a sphere of radius R. When the gas is allowed to flow out slowly at a constant rate, its radius shrinks as \( r(t) \). Assume that the pressure inside the balloon is \( P(r) \) and is more than the outside pressure (\( P_0 \)) by an amount proportional to the surface tension and inversely proportional to the radius. The balloon bursts when its radius reaches \( r_0 \). Then the speed of gas coming out of the balloon at \( r = R \) is :

Processes Of Photosynthesis in Higher Plants:
Photosynthesis in higher plants involves the following processes:
- Light Reaction
- Dark Reaction
Light Reaction:
- This phenomenon occurs in the presence of light.
- The pigment absorbs light and produces energy in the form of ATP.
- The process involves- absorption of light, water splitting, the release of oxygen, and formation of ATP and NADPH.
Dark Reaction:
This process occurs in the absence of light in the stroma of the chloroplasts. The following cycles are involved in the process:
- Calvin Cycle (C3 Cycle)
- C4 Cycle (Hatch and Slack Pathway)
