Prosopis, tree, scrub
Saccharum, grass, forest
Shorea robusta, herb, tropical rain forest
Acacia catechu, tree, coniferous forest
Which one of the following categories of organisms do not evolve oxygen during photosynthesis
Red algae
Photosynthetic bacteria
C4 plants with Kranz anatomy
Blue green algae
Mossess and ferns are found in moist and shady places because both
require presence of water for fertilization
do not need sunlight for photosynthesis
depend for their nutrition on microorganisms which can survive only at low temperature
cannot compete with sun-loving plants.
People recovering from long illness are often advised to include the alga Spirulina in their diet because it
makes the food easy to digest
is rich in proteins
has antibiotic properties
restores the intestinal microtlora
B.
is rich in proteins
Spirulina is a blue-green algae. Spirulina platensis is one of the richest source of protein, containing 40-50 percent crude protein on dry weight basis which under favourable condition may reach upto 70 percent. Its protein has balanced composition containing all essential amino-acids and lysine and tryptophan being present in sufficient quantities.
It is also rich in vitamins, particularly Vit. B12 which is not common in plant products and contains considerable amounts of fats, carbohydrates and minerals. It's lipids are made up of unsaturated fatty acids that do not form cholesterol.
Azolla is used as a biofertilizer because it
multiplies very fast to produce massive biomass
has association of nitrogen - fixing Rhizobium
has association of nitrogen - fixing cyanobacteria
has association of mycorrhiza
