In CAM plants, CO2 acceptor is

  • RuBP

  • PEP

  • OAA

  • PGA


B.

PEP

The process of photosynthesis in C4 plants and CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) is same. Instead of spatial separation of initial PEP, case fixation and final Rubisco fixation of CO2. Both the steps occur in same cell but at different times, night and day.

EgOpuntia, pinapple, Vanilla. PEP (Phosphoenol Pyruvate) is the first acceptor of CO2 in CAM plants.

DCMU 

  • inhibits PS- I

  • inhibits PS- II

  • destroy chloroplast

  • inhibits oxidative phosphorylation


Chlorophyll in chloroplasts is located in

  • grana

  • pyrenoid

  • stroma

  • both (a) and (c)


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


In which form does the food transported in plants?

  • Sucrose

  • Fructose

  • Glucose

  • Lactose
