The ATP is produced during the light reaction of photosynthesis by photophosphorylation. ATPs are produced towards the stromal side of the... View Article
Yes, photosynthesis affects transpiration. When the rate of photosynthesis increases at a high light intensity, there occurs an increase in the... View Article
The three main functions of cell division are reproduction, growth and gamete formation. Mitosis is required for asexual reproduction, growth,... View Article
Yes, mitosis replaces dead cells because mitosis doesn’t change the number of chromosomes in a cell after division. Mitosis results in two... View Article
Yes, mitosis produces diploid cells, given that the parent cell is also diploid. So it doesn’t change the number of chromosomes in a cell after... View Article
Yes, the rate of photosynthesis increases with an increase in temperature but within a specific range (10-20 ℃), any further increase can lead to... View Article
Yes, cytokinin promotes root growth. It is synthesised in the root apices and other parts of a plant such as young fruits and developing shoot... View Article
Yes, cytokinesis occurs in meiosis. Cytokinesis is the division of cytoplasm occurring in both types of cell division, viz., mitosis and meiosis.... View Article
Yes, chromatin contains RNA. It is an integral part of chromatin and plays a role in the structural organisation. Around 2-5% of total nucleic... View Article
Yes, chromatin contains non-histone proteins. They play an important role in the compaction and organisation of chromosomes, DNA replication,... View Article
Yes, chemiosmosis occurs in photosynthesis and respiration. During photosynthesis, chemiosmosis occurs in the chloroplasts, whereas during... View Article
No, C4 photosynthesis does not occur at night. The difference between C3 and C4 pathways is the initial step of carbon fixation. In the C4... View Article
Yes, protists undergo mitosis. They undergo mitosis to give rise to two identical daughter cells. Here cell division is the mode of asexual... View Article
No, prokaryotes do not undergo mitosis or meiosis. Prokaryotic cells divide by binary fission. It is similar to mitosis, which requires... View Article
No, plants do not perform photosynthesis at night. Plants can perform photosynthesis at night only if they are provided with the artificial light... View Article
No, lenticels do not help in photosynthesis. Lenticels are the lens-shaped openings present on the periderm or bark of the woody trees. They... View Article
Yes, human cells contain RNA. They are the genetic messenger along with DNA. The three main types of RNAs are: Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) - present... View Article
No, cilia are absent in true fungi. Fungi are sedentary. They are saprophytes. They feed on dead and decaying organic matter. Their body is... View Article
Yes, fungi contain a cell wall mostly made up of chitin. The cell wall of fungi is rigid and composed of complex polysaccharides such as chitin,... View Article
Yes, eukaryotic cells may also possess flagella, but the structure of eukaryotic flagella is different from that of prokaryotic cells. The... View Article
