An increase in the oxygen concentration in many plants results in a decrease in the rate of photosynthesis. This phenomenon of the inhibition of photosynthesis by O₂ was first discovered by a German biochemist Warburg in 1920 in Chorella (a green alga) and is called Warburg effect. O₂ causes greatest inhibition of photosynthesis when CO₂ levels are low and light levels are saturating. This effect is known to occur in C₃ plants (Soyabean) and C₄ plants (Sorghum, Maize, Sugarcane), etc.

According to most textbooks, only non-reducing carbohydrate species such as sucrose, sugar alcohols, and raffinose-family sugars function as phloem translocates. In non-reducing sugar, the hydroxyl group on the anomeric carbon, the number one carbon, is tied up which means that they are less reactive and more chemically stable. Exclusive transport of non-reducing sugars probably reflects packaging of carbohydrate in a chemical form which protects it from being metabolized.

“Animalcule” is a old term for a microorganism; it just means “small animal”. A paramecium is shaped somewhat like a slipper (a soft shoe), so it is called the slipper animalcule. Other better-known animalcules include: Amoeba, called Proteus animalcule; Noctiluca scintillans, commonly called the ‘Sea Sparkles’; Rotifers, called wheel animalcules, etc.

Hepatitis refers to an inflammatory condition of the liver. It is commonly caused by a viral infection. Other causes include heavy alcohol use, certain medications, toxins, other infections, and autoimmune diseases, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). There are five main types of viral hepatitis: type A, B, C, D, and E.

Correct Option: B
