"Kranz anatomy" is present in
1. | All photosynthetic plants |
2. | Only C3 plants |
3. | Only succulent plants |
4. | Only C4 plants |
Where exactly is, the PEP case found?
a. Only Mesophyll cells
b. Bundle Sheath cells
c. both a and b
d. Passage cells
In the diagrammatic representation of the Hatch and Slack pathway, A and B respectively represent:
1. | Mesophyll cells and Bundle sheath cells |
2. | Bundle sheath cells and Mesophyll cells |
3. | Bundle sheath cells and Palisade cells |
4. | Mesophyll cells and Guard cells |
Phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP) is the primary CO2 acceptor in
(1) C3 -plants
(2) C4 -plants
(3) C2 -plants
(4) C3 and C4 -plants
The step of decarboxylation during C4 cycle occurs in:
1. | Only Mesophyll cells | 2. | Bundle Sheath cells |
3. | both a and b | 4. | Passage cells |
With reference to factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis, which of the following statements is not correct?
1. | Light saturation for CO2-fixation occurs at 10% of full sunlight. |
2. | Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration upto 0.05% can enhance the CO2-fixation rate |
3. | C3 plants respond to higher temperature with enhanced photosynthesis, while C4 plants have a much lower temperature optimum. |
4. | Tomato is a greenhouse crop, which can be grown in a CO2-enriched atmosphere for higher yield. |
The first carbon dioxide fixation product of C4 plant is
1. | Oxaloacetic acid | 2. | ribulose biphosphate |
3. | phosphoenol pyruvate | 4. | phosphoglyceric acid. |
Select the incorrect match from the following
1. | One Calvin cycle – Requires 3 ATP and 2 NADPH |
2. | C4 plant – Shows slower process of carbon fixation |
3. | C3 plants – 20-25°C is optimum for photosynthesis |
4. | Hatch and Slack – Primary CO2 acceptor pathway is phosphoenolpyruvate |
What is incorrect about bundle sheath cells-
1. | Multilayered |
2. | large number of chloroplasts |
3. | Intercellular spaces |
4. | Thick walls |
In C plants CO are reduced into sugar is :
1. Mesophyll cells
2. In bundle sheath cells
3. In spongy parenchyma
4. Both A & B
