I: | Water splitting complex is associated with PSII in photosynthetic plants. |
II: | Chlorophyll a reaction center in PSII is called as P680 |
Which of the following replaces the electrons removed from the reaction center chlorophyll-A molecule of the photosystem I in non-cyclic photophosphorylation?
1. The light harvesting complex of PS-I
2. Water
3. PS-II
4. NADPH
Consider the given two statements.
Assertion (A): | A plant with C4 pathway has a tremendous advantage over a plant with C3 pathway when the weather is hot and dry. |
Reason (R): | The stomata remain open and there is always sufficient carbon dioxide to combine directly with RUBP in C4 plants when the weather is hot and dry. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
3. | (A) is True, (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False, (R) is True |
1. | C4 plants perform photosynthesis only at night. |
2. | C3 plants have a higher water-use efficiency than C4 plants. |
3. | C4 plants utilize PEP carboxylase to capture CO₂, resulting in lack of photorespiration. |
4. | C3 plants have a mechanism to concentrate CO₂ in bundle sheath cells, unlike C4 plants. |
