The chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis of oxidative phosphorylation proposes that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed because
1. | there is a change in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane toward adenosine diphosphate (ADP) |
2. | high energy bonds are formed in mitochondrial proteins |
3. | ADP is pumped out of the matrix into the intermembrane space |
4. | a proton gradient forms across the inner membrane |

In Kranz anatomy, the bundle sheath cells have
1. | thick walls, many intercellular spaces and few chloroplasts |

With reference to factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis, which of the following statements is not correct?
1. | Increasing atmospheric concentration up to 0.05 % can enhance fixation rate |
2. | plants respond to higher temperatures with enhanced photosynthesis while plants have much lower temperature optimum |
3. | Tomato is a greenhouse crop which can be grown in – enriched atmosphere for higher yield |
4. | Light saturation for fixation occurs at 10% of full sunlight |
Assertion(A): | Not all organisms use carbon dioxide as a source of carbon atoms to carry out photosynthesis. |

4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Assertion: | Photophosphorylation in chloroplasts and oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria are different. |
Reason: | In chloroplasts the high energy electrons come from food while in mitochondria they come from water. |
1. | Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. |
2. | Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. |
3. | Assertion is true but reason is false. |
