Photorespiration is the light dependent process of oxygenation of ribulose biphosphate (RuBP) and release of carbon dioxide by the photosynthetic organs of a plant. Normally photosynthetic organs do the reverse in the light, i.e., uptake of CO2 and release of O2 At high temperature, RuBP carboxylase functions as oxygenase and instead of fixing carbon dioxide (C4 cycle), oxidises ribulose 1, 5-biphosphate to produce a 3-carbon phosphoglyceric acid and a 2-carbon phosphoglycolate. Photorespiration does not produce energy or reducing power. Rather, it consumes energy. Further, it undoes the work of photosynthesis. There is 25% loss of fixed CO2. Therefore, photorespiration is a highly wasteful process. This happens only in case of C4 plants. C4 plants have overcome the problem of photorespiration.
The first stable product of Calvin cycle is
3- phosphoglycerate
1, 3 biphosphoglycerate
glyceralydehyde - 3 phosphate
ribulose - 5 - phosphate
C4 plants have better productivity because
C4 plants absorb more light
C4 plants absorb more CO2
C4 plants does not carry photorespiration
C4 plants have more amount of RuBisCO
Assertion : Due to pollution atmospheric concentration of CO2 is increasing which will be harmful for C4 plants whereas productivity is going to increase for C3 plants.
Reason : C4 plants have greater efficiency for CO2 as CO2 is fixed by PEP oxygenase.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Assertion : The efficiency of C4 plant is more than those of C3 plant.
Reason : C4 plants are more efficient in picking CO2.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are hue but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Assertion: Photorespiration interferes with the successful functioning of Calvin cycle.
Reason: Photorespiration oxidises ribulose1,5 biphosphate which is an acceptor of CO2 in Calvin cycle.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
