Consider the two statements:
I. | The current availability of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is limiting for C3 plants. |
II. | C3 plants attain saturation at much higher carbon dioxide concentration than that present in the current atmosphere. |
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 correct |
Which of the following is not a C3 plant?
1. Rice
2. Wheat
3. Maize
4. Potato
If the given pyrrole ring is of chlorophyll a molecule, X should be:

2. -CH3
3. -CH2OH
4. -CH3COOH
In light reaction, plastoquinone facilitates the transfer of electrons from:
1. | Cytb6f complex to PS I | 2. | PS I to NADP+ |
3. | PS I to ATP synthase | 4. | PS II to Cytb6f complex |
The oxygenation activity of RuBisCo enzyme in photorespiration leads to the formation of:
1. | 1 molecule of the 3-C compound |
2. | 1 molecule of the 6-C compound |
3. | 1 molecule of a 4-C compound and 1 molecule of the 2-C compound |

Consider the given statements:
I. | In C4 plants light reactions occur in mesophyll cells whereas the carbon dioxide assimilation is carried out in bundle sheath cells |
II. | In CAM plants, the events are separated in time but occur in the same type of cells. |
1. | Only I is correct |
2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
The correct sequential involvement of organelles in the photorespiratory pathway is:
1. | Chloroplast → Peroxisome → Mitochondria |
2. | Chloroplast → Mitochondria → Peroxisome |
3. | Mitochondria → Chloroplast → Peroxisome |
4. | Mitochondria → Peroxisome → Chloroplast |
The correct sequence of flow of electron during light dependent reactions in plants is:
1. | P680 → P700 → water → NADP+ |
2. | water → P700 → NADP+→ P680 |
3. | P700 → P680 → NADP+→ water |
4. | water → P680 → P700 → NADP+ |
Photorespiration is avoided by C4 plants primarily because:
1. | They do not participate in the Calvin cycle. |
2. | They use PEP carboxylase to initially fix CO2. |
3. | They conserve water more efficiently. |
4. | They are adapted to cold, wet climates. |
