Which is the first CO2 acceptor enzyme in C4 plants:
1. RuDP Carboxylase
2. Phosphoric acid
3. RUBISCO
4. PEP-Carboxylase
Which pair is wrong:
1. | C3 – Maize |
2. | C4 – Kranz anatomy |
3. | Calvin cycle - PGA |
4. | Hatch and Slack cycle – O.A.A |
In the sugarcane plant, 14CO2 is fixed in malic acid because the enzyme that fixes CO2 is:
1. | Ribulose biphosphate carboxylase |
2. | Phosphoenol pyruvic acid carboxylase |
3. | Ribulose phosphate kinase |
4. | Fructose phosphatase |
As compared to a -plant, how many additional molecules of ATP are needed for net production of one molecule of hexose sugar by -plants:
1. | Zero | 2. | Six |
3. | Two | 4. | Twelve |
Photosynthesis in C4 plants is relatively less limited by atmospheric 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 |
