Consider the following two statements regarding RuBisCO:
I: | When carbon dioxide is the substrate, the product of the carboxylase reaction is finally two molecules of glycerate-3-phosphate. |
II: | When molecular oxygen is the substrate, the products of the oxygenase reaction are two molecules of phosphoglycolate. |
1. | Only I is correct | 2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct | 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |

In the given simplified diagram of the Calvin Cycle,
ATP is utilized at points:
1. A and B only
2. A and C only
3. B and C only
4. A, B and C
The chronological order of organelles involved in the photorespiration cycle is:
1. | chloroplasts, leaf peroxisomes and mitochondria |
2. | chloroplasts, mitochondria and leaf peroxisomes |
3. | mitochondria, chloroplasts, and leaf peroxisomes |
4. | mitochondria, leaf peroxisomes and chloroplasts |
In the diagram showing relation between Calvin cycle and Photorespiration the molecule labeled X can be:
1. Oxygen 2. Ammonia 3. Nitric oxide 4. Hydrogen sulfide |
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. |
