PGA, as the first ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ fixation product, was discovered in photosynthesis of
1. bryophyte
2. gymnosperm
3. angiosperm
4. alga

${\mathrm{C}}_4$ -plants are photosynthetically more efficient than ${\mathrm{C}}_3$ -plants because

In the leaves of ${\mathrm{C}}_4$ -plants, malic acid synthesis during ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ fixation occurs in
1. epidermal cells
2. mesophyll cells
3. bundle sheath
4. guard cells

E. Synthesized during photosynthesis
The useful properties are
1. (B) and (C)
2. (B) and (D)
3. (A), (C) and (E)
4. (A) and (E)

The first acceptor of electrons from an excited chlorophyll molecule of photosystem II is :

In photosystem-I, the first electron acceptor is :

During photorespiration, the oxygen consuming reaction(s) occur in :
1. stroma of chloroplasts and mitochondria
2. stroma of chloroplasts and peroxisomes
3. grana of chloroplasts and peroxisomes
4. stroma of chloroplasts

The first step for initiation of photosynthesis will be

In sugarcane plant,${}^{14}\mathrm{CO}_2$ is fixed in malic acid in which the enzyme that fixes ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ is
1. Ribulose biphosphate carboxylase
2. Phosphoenol pyruvic acid carboxylase
3. Ribulose phosphate kinase
4. Fructose phosphatase

As compared to a ${\mathrm{C}}_3$ plant, how many additional molecules of ATP are needed for net production of one molecule of hexose sugar by ${\mathrm{C}}_4$ plants ?
