Question

Most of the experimental work in photosynthesis has been done on

• A. Chlamydomonas
• B. Chlorella
• C. Hydrilla
• D. Spinach leaf

Answer 1

The correct option is B Chlorella

• Most of the experimental work in photosynthesis has been done on Chlorella. Through photosynthesis it multiplies rapidly, requiring only carbon dioxide, water, sunlight and a small number of minerals to reproduce.
• It is easy to culture and it is easy to understand the photosynthetic process in chlorella cells.
• Based on the above advantages most of the photosynthetic work was conducted in chlorella compared to hydrilla, spinach leaves, and Chlamydomonas.
