In leaves of Ce plants, malic acid synthesis during CO2 fixation occurs in

  • Bundle sheath

  • Mesophyll

  • Epidermis

  • Guard cells


B.

Mesophyll

In C4- plants CO2 combines with phosphoenol pyruvic acid to form oxalacetic acid in mesophyll chloroplasts. It is further reduced to malic acid which is transferred to chloroplast in bundle sheath cells.

In which form does the food transported in plants?

  • Sucrose

  • Fructose

  • Glucose

  • Lactose


In CAM plants, CO2 acceptor is

  • RuBP

  • PEP

  • OAA

  • PGA


DCMU 

  • inhibits PS- I

  • inhibits PS- II

  • destroy chloroplast

  • inhibits oxidative phosphorylation


What happened when we inoculated Rhizobium in wheat field?

  • No increase in production (nitrogen content of soil remains same)

  • A lot of increase in production (nitrogen content of soil increases)

  • Fertility of soil decreases

  • Fertility of soil increases

The law of limiting factors for photosynthesis was enunciated by

  • R. Hill

  • Calvin

  • Krebs

  • Blackman


Photosynthesis in C4 plants is relatively less limited by atmospheric CO2 levels because

  • four carbon acids are the primary initial CO2 fixation products

  • the primary fixation of CO2 is mediated via PEP carboxylase

  • effective pumping of CO2 into bundle sheath cells

  • RUBISCO in CO4 plants has higher affinity for CO2


Chlorophyll in chloroplasts is located in

  • grana

  • pyrenoid

  • stroma

  • both (a) and (c)


Pigment anthocyanin is located in

  • chloroplast

  • chromoplast

  • cytoplasm

  • vacuole
