Photosynthesis in C4 plants is relatively less limited by atmospheric CO2 levels because:
1. Of effective pumping of CO2 in bundle sheath cells
2. Rubisco in C4 plants has higher affinity for CO2
3. Four carbon acids are primary initial CO2 fixation products
4. The primary fixation of CO2 is mediated via PEP carboxylase
According to the chemiosmotic hypothesis, there is a basic difference between respiration and photosynthesis. This is _____
1. In chloroplast, H+ accumulation takes place in the lumen of thylakoid but in mitochondria, this takes place in perimitochondrial space.
2. Accumulation of H+ in chloroplast takes place in matrix i.e., stroma and in mitochondria, this takes place in cristae.
3. In both the mitochondria and chloroplast the accumulation of H+ takes place in inter-membranous space but with a high rate in mitochondria
4. Both 1 and 3 are correct.
