Identify the correct statement:
1. | The light reactions provide ATP and NADPH to the Calvin cycle. |
2. | The light reactions provide to the Calvin cycle. |
3. | The light reactions supply oxygen to the Calvin cycle. |
4. | Calvin cycle is in no way dependent on the light reactions. |
What is true for both light reactions and the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis in plants?
1. | Production of molecular oxygen |
2. | Depend directly or indirectly on light |
3. | Requirement of ATP |
4. | Production of NADPH |
Neither light dependent reaction nor Calvin cycle in photosynthesis in plants require:
1. ATP | 2. NADPH |
3. Enzymes | 4. Glucose |
If chloroplasts are illuminated with sunlight, the lowest pH would be observed in:
1. | stroma | 2. | intermembrane space |
3. | thylakoid space | 4. | cytosol |
To establish a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane, the protons are provided by:
1. | Glucose | 2. | Chlorophyll |
3. | Membrane proteins | 4. | Water |
Identify the correct statement:
1. | The pH within the thylakoid is less than that of the stroma. |
2. | The pH of the stroma is higher than that of the other two measurements. |
3. | The pH of the stroma is higher than that of the thylakoid space but lower than that of the cytosol. |
4. | The pH of the thylakoid space is higher than that observed anywhere else in the cell. |
Radioactive carbon [] was fed to a plant during the day and after a short time was traced to oxaloacetate. The plant used in the experiment will be:
1. | C4 plant | 2. | C3 plant |
3. | CAM plant | 4. | carnivorous plant |
plants are able to photosynthesize with no apparent photorespiration because of:
1. | absence of Calvin cycle. |
2. | use of PEP carboxylase for primary carbon dioxide fixation. |
3. | absence of RuBisCO. |
4. | presence of tissues that do not require oxygen. |
What can occur during both photosynthesis and respiration?
I: The reduction of oxygen that forms water.
II: Formation of ATP by chemiosmosis
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | None |
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. |
