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

The wavelength of light abosorbed by P_r form of phytochrome is :

(1) 640 nm

(2) 680 nm

(3) 720 nm

(4) 620 nm

In photosystem-I, the first electron acceptor is :

(1) ferredoxin

(2) cytochrome

(3) plastocyanin

(4) an iron-sulphur protein
