Photosynthetic organisms occur at different depths in oceam. Do they receive qualitatively and quantitatively the same light ? How do they adapt to carry out photosynthesis under these conditions ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, green sulphur bacteria carry out photosynthesis even live in deeper part of the ocean. In deeper ocean, they derive energy from chemical reactions that do not need light. e.g. : Chemoautotrophs.

Organisms of the oceans have a lesser salt content in their bodies than the sea water which has around 3.5% . The fluid could drain out of the body of the organism into the sea. This could be dangerous and fatal to the organism. How do they survive under such conditions?

In the pond , we find that different organisms live in different regions. This is due to some conditions like availability of different amount of food, air, light etc. Now let us study the table 4 , showing organisms living in different regions of a pond and answer the question. Do all animals in the pond have tails?

The necessary condition for a molecule to exhibit optical isomerism is dissymmetry or chiral. Thus all organic compounds which contain one as symetric carbon atom are chiral and exist in two stereoisomers. Although the two forms have the same structure, they have different arrangements of groups about the as symmetric carbon. In fact, they represent as symetric molecules. They do not have a plane of symmetry. They are related to each other as an object to its mirror image and are non superimposable. The two structures actually stand for dextro or (+) and leavo or (-) isomers. Since they are related each other as mirror images, they are commonly called enantiomers. Which of the following statements is correct regarding compounds I to III
