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.
Awesum!!....thanks man

need help_mcq 1 oct/nov paper 2010 varaint 1

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??

Nope, not as far as I know. If you've looked at slides in your school, you'd know the only things you'd see down a plant cell are the nucleus, the chloroplast and probably differentiate between the plasma membrane and the cell wall. :)

Mitochondria are 0.5-1 micrometers long. It CAN be viewed by a light microscope, BUT ONLY at a magnification of x750 or greater, NOT at x400. As everyone else said, chloroplasts are slightly visible, but the nucleus and the vacuoles are completely visible after staining.

people the ans fr this is B....i understand the second column, however for the first isn't it water potential increases? I mean isn't that how the hydrostatic pressure is built up..... bcoz of high water potential in sieve tube elements in leaves, which will allow the mass flow to occur?View attachment 12854
The leaf is actively photosynthesizing, so it is producing a lot of glucose. This dissolves immediately in the water which reduces the water potential.
