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 |
If chloroplasts are illuminated with sunlight, the lowest pH would be observed in:
1. | stroma | 2. | intermembrane space |
3. | thylakoid space | 4. | cytosol |
Identify the correct statement:
1. | The pH within the thylakoid is less than that of the stroma. |
2. | The pH of the stroma is higher than that of the other two measurements. |
3. | The pH of the stroma is higher than that of the thylakoid space but lower than that of the cytosol. |
4. | The pH of the thylakoid space is higher than that observed anywhere else in the cell. |
Radioactive carbon [] was fed to a plant during the day and after a short time was traced to oxaloacetate. The plant used in the experiment will be:
1. | C4 plant | 2. | C3 plant |
3. | CAM plant | 4. | carnivorous plant |
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 |
