What would be true for cyclic photophosphorylation in photosynthetic plants?
1. It utilizes excess ATP.
2. It reduces NADP+ to NADPH.
3. It occurs in the cytochrome of the complex and utilizes electrons from photosystem I.
4. It utilizes electrons from photosystem II.
Identify the incorrect comparison between C3 and C4 photosynthetic plants:
Characteristic | C3 plants | C4 plants | |
1. | Chloroplasts | One type [only granal] | Two types [granal and agranal] |
2. | Photorespiration | High | Negligible |
3. | First CO2 fixation product | 3-PGA | OAA |
4. | Carboxylase enzyme | Only RuBisCO | Only PEPcase |

Which of the following statements is incorrect?
1. RuBisCO is a bifunctional enzyme
2. In C4 plants, the site of RuBisCO activity is mesophyll cell
3. The substrate molecule for RuBisCO activity is a 5-carbon compound
4. RuBisCO action requires ATP and NADPH
plants are able to photosynthesize with no apparent photorespiration because of:
1. absence of Calvin cycle.
2. use of PEP carboxylase for primary carbon dioxide fixation.
3. absence of RuBisCO.
4. presence of tissues that do not require oxygen.

the cytosol.
4. The pH of the thylakoid space is higher than that observed anywhere else in the cell.
To establish a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane, the protons are provided by:
1. | Glucose | 2. | Chlorophyll |
