How many carbon atoms does the primary carbon dioxide acceptor have in C3 photosynthesis?
1. | 2 | 2. | 3 |
3. | 4 | 4. | 5 |
How many ATP and NADPH are respectively required to make one molecule of glucose through the Calvin pathway?
1. | 3 and 2 | 2. | 6 and 6 |

Identify the incorrect statement regarding the comparison of plants to the plants:
1. | They tolerate higher temperatures |
2. | They show a response to high light intensities |
3. | They have a lower productivity of biomass |
4. | They lack photorespiration |
Identify the correctly matched rows:
C3 | C4 | ||
I: | Productivity | Low | High |
II: | CO2 compensation point | Low | Low |
III: | Temperature optimum | 20 – 25º C | 30 – 45º C |
1. | Only I and II | 2. | Only I and III |
3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II and III |
The number of molecules of NADPH and ATP required respectively to reduce six molecules of carbon dioxide to glucose in Calvin cycle?
1. | 6 and 6 | 2. | 12 and 12 |
3. | 12 and 18 | 4. | 18 and 12 |
Photosystem I is directly associated with:
1. | passing electrons to plastoquinone |
2. | receiving electrons from plastocyanin |
3. | P680 as the chlorophyll a reaction-center |
4. | removal of electrons and protons from water |
The extra ATP required [as compared to NADPH] in Calvin cycle comes from:
1. | photosystem II | 2. | photosystem I |
3. | cyclic electron flow | 4. | non cyclic electron flow |
In chloroplasts, protons are actively pumped from
1. | the intermembrane space to the matrix. |
2. | the matrix to the stroma. |
3. | the stroma to the thylakoid space. |
4. | the thylakoid space to the intermembrane space. |
For the synthesis of glucose, the source of hydrogen atoms is:
1. | Water | 2. | NADPH |
3. | FADH2 | 4. | Monosaccharides |
