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.

  • Sucrose

  • Fructose

  • Glucose

  • Lactose


53.

In CAM plants, CO2 acceptor is

  • RuBP

  • PEP

  • OAA

  • PGA


54.

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


56.

The law of limiting factors for photosynthesis was enunciated by

  • R. Hill

  • Calvin

  • Krebs

  • Blackman


57.

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


58.

Chlorophyll in chloroplasts is located in

  • grana

  • pyrenoid

  • stroma

  • both (a) and (c)

59.

Pigment anthocyanin is located in

  • chloroplast

  • chromoplast

  • cytoplasm

  • vacuole


60.

In photosythesis action and absorption spectrum were related by

  • Von Helmont

  • Engelmann

  • Emerson

  • Lavosier
