The following processes occur during photosynthesis
(i) Reduction of carbon dioxide
(ii) The splitting of water
(iii) The synthesis of glucose
(iv) Release of oxygen
(v) Formation of ATP
Which one of the following combinations is correct for the light phase ?
1. i, ii and iii
2. iii, iv and v
3. i, iii and iv
4. ii, iv and v
Select the Incorrect statement from the following.
| 1. | Nostoc performs oxygenic photosynthesis. |
| 2. | During photorespiration, O2 is first utilized in chloroplast, and CO2 is released in mitochondria. |
| 3. | In a chloroplast, lumen of thylakoids always have least number of protons during photophosphorylation. |
| 4. | In the plants like sugarcane and Amaranthus, primary CO2 acceptor is phosphoenol pyruvate. |
Match the following columns and select the correct option.
| Column-I | Column-II |
| a. Photolysis of water | (i) C plants |
| b. Carboxylation of RuBP | (ii) Non-cyclic photophosphorylation |
| c. Synthesis of ATP only | (iii) Cyclic photophosphorylation |
| d. Consumption of 5 ATP per CO2 fixed |
(iv) Calvin cycle |
| 1. | a (ii), b (iv), c (iii), d (i) |
| 2. | a (iii), b (iv), c (ii), d (i) |
| 3. | a (ii), b (i), c (iii), d (iv) |
| 4. | a (iii), b (i), c (ii), d (iv) |
Proton gradient develops across the thylakoid membrane due to all, except
| 1. | Splitting of water towards lumen side |
| 2. | NADP+ reduction towards stroma side |
| 3. | Movement of protons from lumen to stroma side by PQ |
| 4. | Release of H+ from stroma to lumen side by a H-carrier |
C4 and CAM plants have many similarities, like
| 1. | Secondary CO2 fixation by Rubisco |
| 2. | Scotoactive stomata |
| 3. | Primary CO2 fixation by PEPCase in bundle sheath |
| 4. | Presence of Kranz anatomy |
In photorespiration (C2 cycle)
| 1. | Glycolate is oxidised in mitochondria |
| 2. | CO2 is released in peroxisome |
| 3. | Expenditure of ATP occurs |
| 4. | Light is utilised by all three organelles involved |
Calvin cycle (C3 cycle)
| 1. | Is a feature of all chloroplast containing cells in plants |
| 2. | Is the main sugar-producing cycle in C3, C4, and CAM plants |
| 3. | Has both oxidative and reductive reactions |
| 4. | Occurs in darkness only |
In Hatch and Slack pathway, the primary CO2 acceptor is -
1. Oxaloacetic acid
2. Phosphoglyceric acid
3. Phosphoenol pyruvate
4. Rubisco
One scientist cultured Cladophora in a suspension of Azotobacter and illuminated the culture by splitting light through a prism. He observed that bacteria accumulated mainly in the region of:
| 1. | Violet and green light | 2. | Indigo and green light |
| 3. | Orange and yellow light | 4. | Blue and red light |
