#photoreceptor question

3 public questions tagged with this topic.

Phytochromobilin is covalently attached to apoprotein through:

C fits best: Thioether bond. Keep the PHYTOCHROME basics straight and Thioether bond stands out as the precise answer. Avoid: A) Ester bond; B) Peptide bond; D) Hydrogen bond. Light and flowering items often hinge on which photoreceptor or day-length rule is in play.

Cryptochrome 1 interacts with which complex to regulate HY5 stability?

Correct option is B, COP1–SPA1. In PSS-Sec-E-Sensory biology problems like this, the accurate statement is COP1–SPA1; the others are common mix-ups. Not these: A) BRI1–BAK1; C) FT–FD; D) GID1–DELLA. Tissue transport questions usually turn on xylem vs phloem, living vs dead cells, or source vs sink.

Which cone type is sensitive to longest wavelength?

The correct answer is C: L cone. In Sensory System Eye Physiology, this idea is central because it matches how the body actually works in everyday teaching examples. Put simply, L cone is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Sensory System Eye Physiology. That is why L cone is the option that holds up when you check it against basic physiology. When you revise, say the answer out loud with one short reason attached; that sticks better than rote lists. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.

Ref: Animal physiology is Unit 7 of the CSIR NET Life Science Syllabus, covering core body systems. It accounts for roughly 10% of the total marks in Sections B and C.
