The pH of the space of thylakoid of isolated chloroplast is decreased and then transferred in the dark to a pH-8 solution. The result would most likely be:
I. The isolated chloroplasts will make ATP.
II. The Calvin cycle will be activated.
III. Cyclic photophosphorylation will occur.
1. Only I
2. Only I and II
3. Only I and III
4. Only II and III

The relationship between photosynthesis and respiration can be best described as:

1. Photosynthesis and respiration are reversal of each other in biochemical pathways.
2. Photosynthesis stores energy in complex organic molecules, while respiration releases it.
3. Respiration occurs only in animals and photosynthesis occurs only in plants.
4. Respiration results in formation of ATP but photosynthesis can only use them.

Identify the incorrect statement regarding the enzyme PEP carboxylase:
1. PEP carboxylase has a lower Km for bicarbonate ions, hence, higher affinity — than RuBisCO.
2. O2 is a very poor substrate for this enzyme.
3. It plays an important role in C4 cycle but not in CAM plants.
4. PEP carboxylase is also significant in non-photosynthetic metabolic pathways.
