The process which makes major difference between C3 and C4 plants is:
| 1. | glycolysis | 2. | Calvin cycle |
| 3. | photorespiration | 4. | respiration |

Hints
Photorespiration is avoided by C4 plants primarily because:
| 1. | They do not participate in the Calvin cycle. |
| 2. | They use PEP carboxylase to initially fix CO2. |
| 3. | They conserve water more efficiently. |
| 4. | They are adapted to cold, wet climates. |

Photorespiration in plants:
| 1. | increases the efficiency of photosynthesis by capturing more COâ‚‚. |
| 2. | leads to the production of glucose and oxygen. |
| 3. | results in a significant release of COâ‚‚ and consumption of ATP without the production of ATP or NADPH. |
| 4. | It enhances the plant's ability to fix nitrogen. |

In Câ‚„ plants, the enzyme PEP carboxylase catalyzes the initial fixation of COâ‚‚ in mesophyll cells. Why does the subsequent release of COâ‚‚ in bundle sheath cells favor efficient photosynthesis?
| 1. | It prevents excess ATP consumption in the mesophyll cells, improving energy efficiency. |
| 2. | It maintains a high COâ‚‚ concentration around Rubisco, reducing oxygenase activity and photorespiration. |
| 3. | It allows direct participation of PEP carboxylase in the Calvin cycle, increasing sugar synthesis. |
| 4. | It eliminates the need for light-dependent reactions, making photosynthesis independent of light intensity. |

What would be the immediate consequence if the enzyme RuBisCO’s oxygenation activity increased significantly in C3 plants due to elevated oxygen concentrations?
| 1. | Increased ATP and NADPH production |
| 2. | Increased glucose synthesis |
