Photosynthesis is a chemical process through which the green plants use chlorophyll pigments, energy from the sun, water and minerals from the roots, and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce molecules of sugars and oxygen as a byproduct.

The photosynthetic activity in the plants depends on the presence or absence of these pigments.

Photosynthesis does not cease in wilting of leaves due to the degradation of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll degradation occurs due to the presence of undesirable chemicals like pheophorbide and pheophytin. Additionally, it also occurs due to the toxic effects of insecticides and industrial effluents.

Thus, photosynthesis does not cease due to the degradation of chlorophyll.

Therefore, the given option is false.

When the carbon dioxide levels in the plants increase, this can cause an elevated rate of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide increases the activity of Rubisco, and hence the photosynthesis occurs efficiently. Additionally, the carbohydrate formation increases; therefore, such plants have higher starch reserves.

Thus, the accumulation of carbon dioxide does not cease photosynthesis.

Therefore, the given option is false.

Photosynthesis ceases in plants when leaves wilt because in such leaves, the stomatal apertures close to prevent the entry of carbon dioxide molecules from the atmosphere. When the key element for photosynthesis that is carbon dioxide is absent, photosynthesis cannot occur.

Thus, photosynthesis stops in wilting leaves due to the closure of the stomatal aperture.

Therefore, the given option is true.

Photosynthesis in wilting leaves does not occur due to the absence of water during photolysis. Photolysis is a process that occurs under the influence of electrons from the sun, chlorophyll pigment, and oxygen.

Thus, photosynthesis does not stop in wilting leaves due to a deficiency of water to take part in photolysis.

Therefore, the given option is false.
