Question #1
In the light reaction of photosynthesis, which photosystem is involved in the photolysis of water?
A. Neither PSI nor PSII
B. Photosystem II (PSII)
C. Both PSI and PSII
D. Photosystem I (PSI)

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Photosystem II (PSII), also known as P680, is the first photosystem in the non-cyclic electron transport pathway (Z-scheme). It is responsible for the photolysis of water, a process where water molecules are split into oxygen, protons (H+), and electrons. This oxygen is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

Question #2
Which plant tissue transports organic solutes from leaves to other parts?
A. Phloem
B. Collenchyma
C. Sclerenchyma
D. Xylem

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Phloem is the vascular tissue responsible for translocation of photosynthates (mainly sucrose) from source (leaves) to sink (roots, fruits, growing regions) via sieve tubes and companion cells. Xylem transports water and minerals upward. Collenchyma and sclerenchyma are mechanical tissues. Phloem is alive at maturity.
