Properties of mesophyll cell and bundle sheath cells of a C4 plant is given below, Identify the missing properties marked as A, B, C and D.
Mesophyll cell
Bundle sheath cell
Chloroplast granal
Chloroplast agranal
A
Only PS-I is present
B
C
Carboxylation occurs
D
1.
A = Only PS-II present, B = Photolysis absent, C = Photolysis occurs, D = Carboxylation absent
2.
A =Both PS-I and PS-II present, B = Contain more chloroplast, C = Contain less chloroplast, D = RuBisCo present
3.
A = Both PS-I and PS-II present , B = Photolysis occurs, C = Photolysis absent, D = Carboxylation occurs
4.
A = Lack both PS-I and PS-II, B = Contain less chloroplast, C = Contain more chloroplast, D = RuBisCo present

Hints
If gene alterations cause the plant to be deficient in photorespiration, what would most probably occur?
| 1. | There would be more light induced damage to the cells |
| 2. | Less ATP would be generated |
| 3. | Less O2 would be produced |
| 4. | Photosynthetic efficiency would be reduced at low light intensites |

Hints
Photorespiratory pathway is a wasteful process as it :
| 1. | Does not synthesis sugar but release CO2 |
| 2. | Does not from ATP |
| 3. | Does not form NADPH+H+ |
| 4. | Is responsible for all of the above |

Hints
C4 plants do not show photorespiration as :
| 1. | C4 acid from the mesophyll is broken down in bundle sheath cells to release CO2 |
| 2. | RuBisCO in the bundle sheath cell function as carboxylase minimising oxygenase activity |
| 3. | Initial carboxylation is done by PEP-case |
| 4. | For all the reason mentioned above |

Hints
If atmospheric CO2 concentrations increase two fold or more, how will plants be affected, disregarding any changes in the climate?
| 1. | All plants will experience increase in photosynthesis |
| 2. | C3 plants will have faster growth, C4 plants will be minimally affected |
| 3. | C4 plants will have faster growth, C3 plants will be minimally affected |
| 4. | Plants growth will not affected because atmospheric CO2 concentrations are never limiting for plant growth |
