Any idea how to solve McQ 39 of oct nov 2011 variant 12
GP= NP-R, GP=Gross which is energy produced by plant and NP= energy transferred to primary consumers R= respiration, so 10000 is produced by plant okay which is gross, gross literally means energy converted to chemical energy from light so (1000000-9900000) is 10000 which is light energy absorbed so follow the equation 10000-(all energy lost by respiration) which is 10000-(5000)= 5000 so they are asking percentage of light coverted to net productivity so N.P= 5000 correct so 5000/1000000= 5x10-3 x100 = 0.5% answer is B correct me if im wrong.

remember in the stem the xylem is inside and the phloem outside
in the root, the xylem is inside (star shaped) and phloem outside
in the leaf the xylem is on the top and phloem on the bottom

in this question, firstly the palisade is the upper layer is fatter in C and D, so throw away A and B...
then xylem is on the top and phloem on the bottom so C

In question 1, you mean??
None of the listed organelles are visible under a light microscope with a magnification of x400, except for chloroplasts. :)
but why isnt mitochondria visible,shouldnt it be visible too :)

Pressure potential always has a positive value. So X is for pressure potential.
Solute potential always has a negative value. That's shown by curve Z.
Y is left. That has to be for water potential.


isnt the ans A??
