1. C4 | 2. CAM |
3. Nitrogen–fixer | 4. C3 |
Phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP) is the primary CO2 acceptor in:
1. C4 plants | 2. C2 plants |
3. C3 and C4 plants | 4. C3 plants |
The oxygenation activity of RuBisCo enzyme in photorespiration leads to the formation of:

1. | There is a linear relationship between incident light and carbon dioxide fixation rates at low light intensities. |
2. | Current availability of carbon dioxide levels is limiting to the C4 plants. |
3. | C4 plants respond to higher temperatures and show higher rates of photosynthesis |
4. | Water stress causes the stomata to close, hence reducing the availability of carbon dioxide |
1. | Cornelius van Neil | Oxygen evolved comes from water |
2. | T W Engelmann | First absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a |
