Explanation / Answer

1 A Pigments

Pigments are highly conjugated rings which absorbs light photons and excited to the change of the different levels, so that it transfers the electron inorder to generate energy or other response from the nucleus.

2 B to drive F0/F1 ATP synthase,

the electrons are excited and transferred through photosystems by redox reaction in pheophytin and cytochrome b6f ultimately invovles in the generation of ATp, photosynthesis is couple with photo phosphorylation for generation of ATP energy.

3.

B to drive F0/F1 ATP synthase,

the electrons are excited and transferred through photosystems by redox reaction in pheophytin and cytochrome b6f ultimately invovles in the generation of ATp, photosynthesis is couple with photo phosphorylation for generation of ATP energy.

4.E RUBISCO, this is key enzyme which regulates and fixes CO2 into carbon by calvin cycle or C3 cycle. The CO2 is fixed into 3phosphoglycerate by the enzyme Ribulose 1,5 Bis phosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase.

5 D 3 Phosphoglycerate.

6 D Aspartic acid, accepts the phosphate in the response regulator.

7 B the patner histidine kinase,

Explanation : Two component system is an ubiquitious sensor in prokaryotes which consists of histidine kinase as regulator protein for signal transducer,which facilitates phosphotransferase activity which inhibited by sodium ions. eg In cyanobacteria.

8 D it allows insulation between two component systems. it protects the two component system proteins.
