| 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 |
| 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 |
| 1. | Light is a limiting factor at the region marked A |
| 2. | At the point D of light intensity, the rate of photosynthesis is maximum |
| 3. | Both (1) and (2) |
| 4. | The region marked C shows continuous increase in the rate of photosynthesis |
| C3 Plant CO2 : ATP : NADPH + H+ |
C4 Plant CO2 : ATP : NADPH + H+ |

| 1. 2. 3. 4. |
6 : 30 :12 1 : 5 : 2 6 :18 :12 1 : 3 : 2 |
6 :18 : 12 1 : 3 : 2 6 : 30 : 12 1 : 5 : 2 |
| 1. | Both uses only PS-I |
| 2. | Both makes sugar without C3 cycle |
| 3. | In both cases, initial carboxylation does not involve RuBisCO |
| 4. | Both possess agranal chloroplast only |
| Assertion(A) : | Plants possessing C4 -pathway of carbon fixation have a higher net primary productivity than the C3 -pathway possessing plants. |
| Reason(R) : | For each unit weight of fixed carbon, C4 -pathway possessing plants require less water than C3 -pathway possessing plants. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false statements. |
| Assertion (A): | The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll-\(\alpha\) shows close correlation with its action spectrum |
| Reason (R): | Chlorophyll-\(\alpha\) is present in both PS-I and PS-II |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) is False. |
