The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding which scientist concluded that green plant parts purify the air only in the presence of sunlight, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Question**: The question asks which scientist determined that green plants purify the air only when exposed to sunlight. 2. **Review the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Priceley - B) Ingenhousz - C) Satz - D) Engelmann 3. **Recall Relevant Experiments**: - Jan Ingenhousz conducted experiments that demonstrated the role of sunlight in the process of photosynthesis. He observed that plants produce oxygen bubbles only when they are exposed to light. - Ingenhousz also noted that in the absence of light, plants do not produce oxygen and instead may release carbon dioxide. 4. **Conclude the Findings**: Based on Ingenhousz's experiments, it is clear that green plants purify the air (by producing oxygen) only in the presence of sunlight. 5. **Select the Correct Answer**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **B) Ingenhousz**. ### Final Answer: The scientist who concluded that green plant parts purify the noxious air only in the presence of sunlight is **Jan Ingenhousz**. ---

Which of the following is true/false regarding transport of substances in plants ? (i) Mass flow is the movement of substances in bulk as a result of pressure difference (ii) Bulk flow is achieved only through a positive hydrostatic pressure gradient (iii) The apoplast system is the system of interconnected protoplasts (iv) Most of the water flow in the roots occurs via the apoplast since the cortical cells are loosely packed, and offer no resistance to water movement.

A candidate in order to study the importance of certain factors in photosynthesis took a potted plant and kept it in the dark for over 24 hours. Then in the early hours of the morning she covered one of the leaves with black paper in the centre only. She placed the potted plant in the sunlight for a few hours, and then tested the leaf which was covered with black paper for starch. Is there any control in this experiment ? If so state the same.
