Kranz anatomy is usually associated with

  • C3 plants

  • C4 plants

  • CAM plants

  • C3-C4intermediate plants.


B.

C4 plants

The C4 plants are adapted to dry tropical regions and have greater productivity of biomass. They have special type of leaf anatomy known as Kranz anatomy. In this type of anatomy then bundle sheath cells form several layers around the vascular bundles; they are characterized by having a large number of chloroplasts, thick walls impervious to gaseous exchange and no intercellular spaces.

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: 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.

  • sugar but not ATP

  • ATP but not sugar

  • both ATP and sugar

  • neither ATP nor sugar

  • A: LHC; B:e- acceptor; C: PS I; D: PS II

  • A: PS I; B:PS II; C:e- acceptor; D: LHC

  • A: e- acceptor; B : LHC; C: PS Il; D: PS I

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.


Cyclic photophosphorylation involves

  • PS I

  • PS II

  • PS I and PS II

  • P680


The first stable product of Calvin cycle is

  • 3- phosphoglycerate

  • 1, 3 biphosphoglycerate

  • glyceralydehyde - 3 phosphate

  • ribulose - 5 - phosphate


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.
