Photosynthesis is the biological process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (a form of sugar) and oxygen. This process occurs in chloroplasts and is essential to produce energy-rich molecules, supporting the growth and sustenance of life on Earth. This is […]

MCQ on Phloem Transport in Plants
MCQ on Phloem Transport in Plants: Phloem transport in plants occurs through a process called translocation. Sugars, mainly sucrose, produced in photosynthetic source tissues are actively loaded into the phloem. This creates a pressure gradient, causing sugars to flow through sieve tubes to sink tissues, where they are utilized or […]

MCQ on Cellulose Biosynthesis in Plants
MCQ on Cellulose Synthesis in Plants: Cellulose is a carbohydrate (polysaccharide) composed of glucose molecules, serving as a structural component in plant cell walls. Cellulose biosynthesis in plants primarily occurs in the plasma membrane, where cellulose synthase enzymes (CESA) assemble glucose molecules into cellulose chains. These chains then form microfibrils, […]
