NCERT textbook mentions that “immediately after light becomes unavailable, the biosynthetic process continues for some time and then stops”. Why does it stop after some time?
1. | The respiration stops in the absence of light and hence synthesis of sugars stops |
2. | The reactions of the biosynthetic phase are directly dependent on light |
3. | The reactions of the biosynthetic phase are dependent on the products of light reaction |
4. | This is a mistake in NCERT as Dark Reactions will continue throughout night |
How many carbon atoms does the primary carbon dioxide acceptor have in C3 photosynthesis?
1. | 2 | 2. | 3 |
3. | 4 | 4. | 5 |
How many ATP and NADPH are respectively required to make one molecule of glucose through the Calvin pathway?
1. | 3 and 2 | 2. | 6 and 6 |
3. | 9 and 6 | 4. | 18 and 12 |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the comparison of plants to the plants:
1. They tolerate higher temperatures
2. They show a response to high light intensities
3. They have a lower productivity of biomass
4. They lack photorespiration
The bundle sheath cells are characterized by:
I: | a large number of chloroplasts present in them |
II: | thick cell walls impervious to gas exchange |
III: | large intercellular spaces |
1. Only I and II | 2. Only I and III |
3. Only II and III | 4. I, II and III |
The primary acceptor in plants is:
1. RuBP in mesophyll cells
2. RuBP in bundle sheath cells
3. PEP in mesophyll cells
4. PEP in bundle sheath cells
The pathway:
1. is common to all plants
2. takes place in mesophyll cells in plants
3. takes place in bundle sheath cells in plants
4. does not take place in CAM plants
In pathway, the 4-carbon compound transported to bundle sheath cells most commonly is:
1. | Glutamic acid | 2. | Malic acid |
3. | Oxaloacetic acid | 4. | Fumaric acid |
The most common enzyme in the world is:
1. | PEP carboxylase | 2. | Pyruvate dehydrogenase |
3. | RuBisCO | 4. | Collagenase |
The 2-carbon compound formed in photorespiration is:
1. | Acetyl CoA | 2. | Phosphoglycolate |
3. | Acetic acid | 4. | Ethanol |
