Pepper plant is a vine. It is a climber and hence it needs support of some other plant (called standard) to climb. Pepper plants have long, vigorous vines and can reach twelve to fifteen feet high. The plants need a strong trellis or structure to scramble over. In addition to its culinary value, pepper makes a lovely houseplant with its glossy, evergreen leaves.

Correct Option: C

Milk is a poor source of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). It contains about 1 mg ascorbate per 100 g. Even the little Vitamin C is usually destroyed when the milk is heat treated. The richest sources of ascorbic acid are fruits and vegetables. Milk is a good source of retinol and thiamin.

A lichen is an organism that is formed by the symbiotic association of a fungus and an algae or cyanobacterium. It occurs as crusty patches or bushy growths on tree trunks, bare ground, etc. The properties are sometimes plant-like, but lichens are not plants.

The photosynthetic efficiency is the fraction of light energy converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis in plants and algae. Approximately two thirds of the net global photosynthetic productivity worldwide is of terrestrial green plant origin. The remainder is produced mainly by phytoplankton (microalgae) in the oceans. Approximately 114 kilocalories of free energy are stored in plant biomass for every mole of CO₂ fixed during photosynthesis.

Green is the least effective colour of light in driving photosynthesis, the process of converting light energy into chemical energy. Photosynthesis occurs in plants and algae using chlorophyll, and because chlorophyll reflects rather than absorbs green light, green light cannot be used in the photosynthetic process.
