A plant in your garden avoids photorespiratory losses, has improved water use efficiency, shows high rates of photosynthesis at high temperatures and has improved efficiency of nitrogen utilization. In which of the following physiological groups would you assign this plant?
1. | C4 | 2. | CAM |
3. | Nitrogen-fixer | 4. | C3 |
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 |
The oxygen evolved during photosynthesis comes from water molecules. Which one of the following pairs of elements are involved in this reaction?
1. Manganese and chlorine
2. Manganese and potassium
3. Manganese and molybdenum
4. Manganese and calcium
In photosynthesis, the light-independent reactions take place at
1. thylakoid lumen | 2. photosystem l |
3. photosystem ll | 4. stromal matrix |
The structures that are formed by stacking of organised flattened membranous sacs in the chloroplasts are
1. | cristae | 2. | grana |
3. | stroma lamellae | 4. | stroma |
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 fixation product, was discovered in photosynthesis of
1. bryophyte
2. gymnosperm
3. angiosperm
4. alga
-plants are photosynthetically more efficient than -plants because
1. | compensation point is more. |
2. | generated during photorespiration is trapped and recycled through PEP carboxylase. |
3. | efflux is not prevented. |
4. | they have more chloroplasts. |
