Emerson's enhancement effect and red drop have been instrumental in the discovery of
1. two photosystems operating simultaneously
2. photophosphorylation and cyclic electron transport.
3. Oxidative phosphorylation
4. photophosphorylation and non-cyclic electron transport
In a chloroplast the highest number of protons are found in
1. lumen of thylakoids
2. inter membrane space
3. antenna complex
4. Stroma
In photosynthesis, the light-independent reactions take place at
1. thylakoid lumen
2. photosystem l
3. photosystem ll
4. stromal matrix
Anoxygenic photosynthesis is characteristic of
1. Rhodospirillum
2. Spirogyra
3. Chlamydomonas
4. Ulva
The correct sequence of cell organelles during photorespiration is
(1) chloroplast-Golgi bodies-mitochondria
(2) chloroplast-rough endoplasmic reticulum-dictyosomes
(3) chloroplast-peroxisome-mitochondria
(4) chloroplast-vacuole-peroxisome
PGA as the first CO2 fixation was discovered in the photosynthesis of
(1) bryophyte
(2) gymnosperm
(3) angiosperm
(4) algae
C4 -plants are more efficient in photosynthesis than C3 -plants due to
1. | higher leaf area |
2. | presence of larger number of chloroplasts in the leaf cells. |
3. | presence of thin cuticle |
4. | lower rate of photorespiration |
The C4 -plants are photosynthetically more efficient than C3 -plants because
1. | the CO2 compensation point is more |
2. | CO2 generated during photorespiration is trapped and recycled through PEP carboxylase |
3. | the CO2 efflux is not prevented |
4. | they have more chloroplasts. |
Electrons from excited chlorophyll molecule of photosystem-II are accepted first by
1. cytochrome-b
2. cytochrome-f
3. quinone
4. ferredoxin
In the leaves of C4 -plants malic acid synthesis during CO2 fixation occurs in
(1) epidermal cells
(2) mesophyll cells
(3) bundle sheath
(4) guard cells
