C4-plants are more efficient in photosynthesis than C3-plants due to:

1. higher leaf area
2. presence of larger number of chloroplasts in the leaf cells
3. presence of thin cuticle
4. lower rate of photorespiration

The C4-plants are photosynthetically more efficient than C3-plants because:
1. the CO2 compensation point is more
2. CO2 generated during photorespiration is trapped and recycled through PEP carboxylase
3. The CO2 efflux is not prevented
4. They have more chloroplasts

The chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis of oxidative phosphorylation proposes that Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is formed because:
1. high energy bonds are formed in mitochondrial proteins
2. ADP is pumped out of the matrix into the inter-membrane space
3. a proton gradient forms across the inner membrane
4. there is a change in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane toward Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP)
