The organic material of biological origin that is ultimately derived from the fixation of carbon dioxide by trapping solar energy during photosynthesis is called:
1. The path of carbon fixation in dark reaction through intermediate compounds leading to the formation of sugar and starch was discovered by Calvin, Benson and their co-workers discovered the...
1. Path of carbon was studied with the help of radioactive tracer technique using Chlorella, a unicellular green alga and radioactive 14CO2 .
2. With the help of radioactive carbon, it...
(1) (a) ammonia is less dense than air
(b) solubility in water
(c) 2NH3 + H2SO4 → (NH4)2SO4
(2) (a) Ammonia → because - NH3 is basic while, SO2,HCl and CO2 are acidic oxides.
(b) CuO,...
CO combines with haemoglobin to forms a complex entity, carboxyhaemoglobin which is about 300 times more stable than oxyhaemoglobin. In blood, when the concentration of carboxyhaemoglobin reaches 3 -4%, the oxygen-carrying...
