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. |
In the leaves of -plants, malic acid synthesis during fixation occurs in
1. epidermal cells
2. mesophyll cells
3. bundle sheath
4. guard cells

D. Osmotically inactive
E. Synthesized during photosynthesis
The useful properties are
1. (B) and (C)
2. (B) and (D)
3. (A), (C) and (E)
4. (A) and (E)
The first acceptor of electrons from an excited chlorophyll molecule of photosystem II is :
1. | cytochrome | 2. | iron-sulphur protein |
3. | ferredoxin | 4. | quinone |
In photosystem-I, the first electron acceptor is :
1. | ferredoxin | 2. | cytochrome |
3. | plastocyanin | 4. | an iron-sulphur protein |
During photorespiration, the oxygen consuming reaction(s) occur in :
1. stroma of chloroplasts and mitochondria
2. stroma of chloroplasts and peroxisomes
3. grana of chloroplasts and peroxisomes
4. stroma of chloroplasts
The first step for initiation of photosynthesis will be
1. | Photolysis of water |
2. | Excitement of chlorophyll molecule due to absorption of light |
3. | ATP formation |
4. | Glucose formation |
