The C3 and C4 photosynthesis pathways are so called because the initial carbon fixation product in them are respectively:

1. pyruvate; malate
2. malate; pyruvate
3. 3-phosphoglycerate; oxaloacetic acid
4. glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate; phospho-enol-pyruvate (PEP)

Chemiosmosis in chloroplasts is possible because of:

1. establishment of a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane.
2. diffusion of electrons through the ATP synthase.
3. osmosis of water from thylakoid to stroma.
4. presence of large amount of oxygen in the stroma.

The relationship between photosynthesis and respiration can be best described as:

1. Photosynthesis and respiration are reversal of each other in biochemical pathways.
2. Photosynthesis stores energy in complex organic molecules, while respiration releases it.
3. Respiration occurs only in animals and photosynthesis occurs only in plants.
4. Respiration results in formation of ATP but photosynthesis can only use them.
