Consider the following two statements:
I. | Plants with C3 pathway have a single type of photosynthetic cell: the mesophyll cell. |
II. | Their bundle sheath cells do not contain chloroplasts. |
1. | Both I and II are correct |
2. | Only I is correct |
3. | Only II is correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
Identify the incorrect match:
C3 plants | C4 plants | ||
1. | Primary carbon dioxide acceptor | RuBP | PEP |
2. | Primary carbon dioxide fixation product | PGA | OAA |
3. | Presence of PEPcase | Yes | Yes |
4. | Cell type in which initial carboxylation reaction occurs | Mesophyll | Bundle sheath |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only I and III |
3. | Only II and III | 4. | Only IV |
Consider the two statements:
I. | A poison that inhibits an enzyme of the Calvin cycle will also inhibit light reactions. |
II. | The light reactions require ADP and NADP+ which would not be produced in sufficient quantities if the Calvin cycle stopped. |
1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
3. | I is correct but II is incorrect |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
Consider the two statements:
I. | The C4 photosynthesis pathway uses more energy than the C3 photosynthesis pathway. |
II. | C4 plants are able to more efficiently fix carbon in drought, high temperatures, and in limitations of nitrogen or CO2. |
1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
3. | Only I is correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
