The main difference between active and passive transport across cell membrane is that

  1. passive transport is due to the concentration gradient across the cell membrane, whereas active transport is due to metabolic energy

  2. active transport is more rapid than passive transport

  3. passive transport is confined to anions, whereas active transport is confined to cations only

  4. passive transport is non-selective


Correct Option: A

Hexose monophosphate shunt is also called

The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll

  1. explains why chlorophyll is a green pigment

  2. approximates the action spectrum of photosynthesis

  3. shows that some colours of light are absorbed more than others

  4. All of the above are correct


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll is useful in identifying the green colour pigment of chlorophyll. It approximates the action spectrum of photosynthesis. It also shows that some colours of light are absorbed more than others

Raphids are needle-like crystals of calcium oxalate, which are especially common in

  1. rose

  2. pistia

  3. dahlia

  4. asparagus


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Crystals of some minerals are found as excretory products of plants. These crystals are made up of calcium oxalate and are found in storage tissues, e.g., pith and cortex. They may be rodlike, prismatic, pyramidal, rhomboidal or needle-like. The needlelike crystals are called raphides.
