  Photosynthesis – Section A Answer Key SECTION A – (1 Mark Each) 1) Define Photosynthesis with balanced equation Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide and water using light energy. Balanced Equation: 6CO₂ + 12H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ + 6H₂O. 2) Difference between Chlorophyll-a and Chlorophyll-b Chlorophyll-a contains a methyl (–CH₃) group. Chlorophyll-b contains an aldehyde (–CHO) group. 3) Define Quantum Energy Quantum energy is the minimum amount of energy required to excite an electron. It is carried in the form of a photon of light. 4) Primary function of Accessory Pigments They absorb light of different wavelengths. They transfer absorbed energy to chlorophyll-a. 5) Name the ground substance of chloroplast The ground substance is called stroma. It contains enzymes required for the dark reaction. 6) Location of photosynthetic pigments Photosynthetic pigments are present in the...

  ✅ SECTION – A (2 Points Each – Each point is a full sentence.) 1. What does the abbreviation ‘redox’ stand for? Redox stands for reduction and oxidation. It represents reactions in which oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously. 2. Define oxidation according to the classical concept. Oxidation is defined as the addition of oxygen to a substance. It is also defined as the removal of hydrogen from a substance. 3. Define oxidation in terms of electron transfer. Oxidation is the loss of electrons by an atom or ion. It results in an increase in oxidation number. 4. Define reduction in terms of electron transfer. Reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom or ion. It results in a decrease in oxidation number. 5. Define an oxidising agent in terms of oxidation number. An oxidising agent is a substance that increases the oxidation number of another substance. It itself undergoes reduction during the reaction. 6. Define a reducing agent in terms...

Class 11 Physics - Sound Notes Chapter: Sound – Class 11 Notes 1. Introduction to Waves A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy and momentum from one point to another without transfer of matter. Types of Waves Mechanical Waves – Require material medium (sound, water waves) Electromagnetic Waves – Do not require medium (light) Matter Waves – Associated with moving particles 2. Common Properties of Waves Amplitude (A): Maximum displacement from mean position. Wavelength (λ): Distance between two consecutive particles in same phase. Time Period (T): Time for one complete oscillation. Frequency (n or f): \[ n = \frac{1}{T} \] Wave Velocity: \[ v = \frac{\lambda}{T} \] \[ v = n\lambda \] Frequency remains constant when wave enters another medium. Speed and wavelength change. 3. Phase of a Wave Phase describes the state of vibration of a particle. In phase – Same displacement and direction Out of phase – Different displacement o...
