With reference to factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis, which of the following statements is not correct?
(1) Light saturation for CO2-fixation occurs at 10% of full sunlight.
(2) Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration upto 0.05% can enhance the CO2-fixation rate
(3) C3 plants respond to higher temperature with enhanced photosynthesis, while C4 plants have a much lower temperature optimum.
(4) Tomato is a greenhouse crop, which can be grown in a CO2-enriched atmosphere for higher yield.
A plant in your garden avoids photorespiratory losses, has improved water use efficiency, shows high rates of photosynthesis at high temperatures and has improved efficiency of nitrogen utilization. In which of the following physiological groups would you assign this plant?
(1) C4
(2) CAM
(3) Nitrogen-fixer
(4) C3
The process which makes a major difference between C3 and C4 plants is:
1. | glycolysis | 2. | Calvin cycle |
3. | photorespiration | 4. | respiration |
1. | ATP | 2. | NADH |
3. | NADPH | 4. | Oxygen |
1. | Green sulphur bacteria | 2. | Nostoc |
3. | Cycas | 4. | Chara |
Phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP) is the primary CO2 acceptor in:
1. C4 plants
2. C2 plants
3. C3 and C4 plants
4. C3 plants
Water-soluble pigments found in plant cell vacuoles are:
1. | chlorophylls | 2. | carotenoids |
3. | anthocyanins | 4. | xanthophylls |
In photosynthesis, the light-independent reactions take place at?
1. Thylakoid lumen
2. photosystem I
3. photosystem II
4. Stromal matrix
A process that makes an important difference between C3 and C4 plants is:
1. Transpiration
2. Glycolysis
3. Photosynthesis
4. Photorespiration
