Asked in ETEA MDCAT 2009 2009

The complex force of photosynthesis can be studied by the use of one of the following isotopes :

Correct answer: D. 6O16

  • A. 6C14
  • B. 1H2
  • C. 2He4
  • D. 6O16

Explanation

Oxygen-16 is the ideal isotope for studying photosynthesis because it allows for precise measurements of oxygen uptake and flow during the process. Carbon-14, Hydrogen-2, and Helium-4 are not commonly used for this specific purpose, making them incorrect choices for this question.

About Plant Nutrition and Transport

Plants require macronutrients and micronutrients for growth, and mineral deficiencies produce recognizable symptoms. Transport involves water and minerals through xylem by transpiration pull, cohesion and adhesion, while phloem translocates sugars from sources to sinks. Root pressure and transpiration are distinct mechanisms.
