devoid of stomata?
Answers
Answer:
1.
Explanation:
Experiment to show that sunlight is necessary for photosynthesis - definition. Take a plant with destarched leaf. Leaf is partially covered with black paper on which a design is cut. Expose this plant to sunlight for few hours and perform a starch test with iodine solution.
2.rhizobium in return provide help to legumes. they are nitrogen fixing bacteria and they change atmospheric nitrogen in soluble form(nitrate and nitrite) which the plants can easily take from soil to make protein. thus they help each other as there is symbiotic relationship between them.
3. Insert a part of the leaf of a destarched plant into a conical flask containing potassium hydroxide. Potassium hydroxide solution absorbs the carbon dioxide gas from the air present in the glass bottle. Leave the plant sunlight. After few hours, perform a starch test to this and another leaf of the same plant.
4.Heterotrophic nutrition can be one of three types – holozoic, saprophytic or parasitic. Holozoic nutrition can be seen in most vertebrates and some unicellular organisms like the amoeba. Saprophytic nutrition is where the organisms feed on dead and decaying matter. Examples include bacteria and fungi.
Answer:
01: To prove the necessity of sunlight in photosynthesis following steps need to do
Take a plant with destarched leaf.
Leaf is partially covered with black paper on which a design is cut.
Expose this plant to sunlight for few hours and perform a starch test with iodine solution.
Observation-
Covered leaf part shows brown colouration.
Exposed leaf shows blue-black colour.
Result- Starch is present in the exposed leaf.
Conclusion- Leaf exposed to sunlight give iodine test, proving that sunlight is necessary for photosynthesis.
02: rhizobium in return provide help to legumes. they are nitrogen fixing bacteria and they change atmospheric nitrogen in soluble form(nitrate and nitrite) which the plants can easily take from soil to make protein. thus they help each other as there is symbiotic relationship between them.
03: Insert a part of the leaf of a destarched plant into a conical flask containing potassium hydroxide. Potassium hydroxide solution absorbs the carbon dioxide gas from the air present in the glass bottle. Leave the plant sunlight. After few hours, perform a starch test to this and another leaf of the same plant.
04: Heterotrophic nutrition is of three types – saprophytic, parasitic and holozoic. Saprophytic or Saprotrophic Nutrition: It is a mode of heterotrophic nutrition in which food is obtained from organic remains like dead organisms, excreta, fallen leaves, broken twigs, food articles, etc.
