Photorespiration shows formation of
1. | sugar but not ATP |
2. | ATP but not sugar |
3. | both ATP and sugar |
4. | neither ATP nor sugar |
C4 plants have better productivity because
1. | C4 plants absorb more light |
2. | C4 plants absorb more CO2 |
3. | C4 plants does not carry photorespiration |
4. | C4 plants have more amount of RuBisCO. |
The first carbon dioxide fixation product of C4 plant is
1. | Oxaloacetic acid | 2. | ribulose biphosphate |
3. | phosphoenol pyruvate | 4. | phosphoglyceric acid. |
Carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis. The chemical used to remove this gas most effectively from entering a control apparatus is
1. calcium oxide
2. distilled water
3. potassium hydroxide solution
4. sodium carbonate.
Which of the following is incorrect about the light reactions of photosynthesis?
1. | P680 and P700 are the reaction centres of PS-I and PS-II respectively |
2. | Light energy provides energy for the photolysis of water through excitation of the reaction centre of PS-II |
3. | NADPH is not produced in cyclic electrons transport in light reactions |
4. | Reactions of the two photosystems are needed for the reduction of NADP |
The C4 plants differ from C3 plants with reference to the:
1. | substrate that accepts CO2 in carbon assimilation |
2. | type of end product |
3. | type of pigment involved in photosynthesis |
4. | end product that will be formed |
Photosynthesis is a-
