1. | Chlorophyll a is the chief pigment associated with photosynthesis. |
2. | Splitting of water is associated with PS II |
3. | Cyclic flow of electrons results only in the synthesis of NADH |
4. | Biosynthetic phase is dependent on the products of the light reaction |
I: | Calvin cycle takes place in Bundle sheath cells |
II: | Number of carbon atoms in the primary carbon dioxide acceptor is 5 |
III: | Initial carboxylation reaction occurs in mesophyll cells |
IV: | Primary carbon dioxide fixation product is oxaloacetic acid |
1. | Only I, II and III | 2. | Only I, III and IV |
3. | Only II, III and IV | 4. | I, II, III and IV |
Feature | C3 Plant | C4 Plant | |
1. | Cell type in which Calvin cycle takes place | Mesophyll cells | Bundle sheath cells |
2. | Cell type in which the initial carboxylation reaction occurs | Bundle sheath cells | Mesophyll cells |
3. | Primary carbon dioxide acceptor | RuBP | PEP |
4. | Number of carbons in the primary carbon dioxide fixation product | 5 | 3 |
I: | The reaction centre chlorophyll a in PS I is called P700 |
II: | Oxygen evolving complex is associated with PS II |
III. | Both ATP and NADPH are made during cyclic photophosphorylation |
1. | Only I and II are correct |
2. | Only I and III are correct |
3. | Only II and III are correct |
4. | I, II and III are correct |
1. | Cornelius van Neil | Oxygen evolved comes from water |
2. | T W Engelmann | First absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a |
3. | Joseph Priestley | Plants restore to the air whatever breathing animals remove |
4. | Jan Ingenhousz | Sunlight is essential for photosynthesis |
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. | Only I | 2. | Only I and III |
3. | Only II and III | 4. | Only IV |
I: | include chlorophyll b, xanthophylls and carotenoids. |
II: | absorb light and transfer electrons to chlorophyll a. |
III: | protect chlorophyll a from photo-oxidation. |
In photosynthesis, energy from light reaction to dark reaction is transferred in the form of
1. ADP | 2. ATP |
3. RUDP | 4. Chlorophyll |
For the synthesis of one glucose molecule, the Calvin cycle operates for:
1. 2 times | 2. 4 times |
3. 6 times | 4. 8 times |
