The first stable product of Calvin cycle is
1. | 3-phosphoglycerate |
2. | 1, 3 biphosphoglycerate |
3. | glyceraldehyde - 3 phosphate |
4. | ribulose - 5- phosphate |
PS-II occurs only in
1. | stroma |
2. | granal thylakoids |
3. | stromal lamella |
4. | matrix |
Which of the following statements is correct?
1. | Photorespiration is useful process. |
2. | C4 plants are more efficient than C3 plants. |
3. | C4 plants are less efficient than C3 plants. |
4. | Photorespiration is absent in C3 plants but present in C4 plants. |
Photorespiration shows formation of
1. | sugar but not ATP |
2. | ATP but not sugar |
3. | both ATP and sugar |
4. | neither ATP nor sugar |
Kranz anatomy is usually associated with
1. | C3 plants |
2. | C4 plants |
3. | CAM plants |
4. | C3-C4 intermediate plants. |
C4 plants have better productivity because
1. | C4 plants absorb more light |
2. | C4 plants absorb more CO2 |
3. | C4 plants does not carry photorespiration |
4. | C4 plants have more amount of RuBisCO. |
The first carbon dioxide fixation product of C4 plant is
1. | Oxaloacetic acid | 2. | ribulose biphosphate |
3. | phosphoenol pyruvate | 4. | phosphoglyceric acid. |
Carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis. The chemical used to remove this gas most effectively from entering a control apparatus is
1. calcium oxide
2. distilled water
3. potassium hydroxide solution
4. sodium carbonate.
Photosynthesis in C4 plants is relatively less limited by atmospheric CO2 levels because
1. | The primary fixation of CO2 is mediated via PEP carboxylase |
2. | Effective pumping of CO2 into bundle sheath cells |
3. | Four carbon acids are the primary initial CO2 fixation products |
4. | RuBisCO in C4 plants has a higher affinity for CO2 |
The chemiosmotic coupling hypotheisis of oxidative phosphorylation proposes that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed because
1. | a proton gradient forms across the inner mitochondrial membrane. |
2. | There is a change in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane towards adenosine diphosphate (ADP). |
3. | high energy bonds are formed in mitochondrial proteins |
4. | ADP is pumped out of the matrix into the intermembrane space. |
