In leaves of Ce plants, malic acid synthesis during CO2 fixation occurs in
Bundle sheath
Mesophyll
Epidermis
Guard cells
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.
Eg, Opuntia, pinapple, Vanilla. PEP (Phosphoenol Pyruvate) is the first acceptor of CO2 in CAM plants.
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
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
