121.

In a CAM plant, the concentration of organic acid

  • increases during the day

  • decreases or increases during the day

  • increases during night

  • decreases during any time


C.

increases during night

Crassulacean acid metabolism, also known as CAM photosynthesis, is a carbon fixation pathway that evolved in some plants as an adaptation to arid conditions. In a plant using full CAM, the stomata in the leaves remain shut during the day to reduce evapotranspiration, but open at night to collect carbon dioxide (CO2).

Chloroplast dimorphism is a characteristic feature of

  • plants with Calvin cycle

  • C4 -plants

  • all plants

  • only in algae

  • Glycolate cycle

  • Calvin cycle

  • Bacterial photosynthesis

  • Glyoxylate cycle

  • chlorophyll- b

  • anthocyanin

  • xanthophyll

  • plasma membrane

  • mitochondrial inner membrane

  • mitochondrial outer membrane

  • nuclear membrane


126.

Chlorophyll molecules are located in the

  • thylakoid membrane

  • thylakoid lumen

  • stroma

  • inner chloroplast membrane


127.

The correct sequence of organelles in which glycolate and glyoxylate are produced sequentially in photorespiration is

  • chloroplast and mitochondria

  • chloroplast and peroxisome

  • peroxisome and mitochondria

  • peroxisome and chloroplast


128.

Identify the correct statements in relation to C4 photosynthesis.

  • Kranz anatomy is an essential feature for C4 plants

  • C4 plants have higher water use efficiency than C3 plants

  • Photorespiration can be minimised when C3 pathway is in operation

  • Conversion of oxaloacetate to malate occurs in the bundle sheath cells

129.

C4 pathway is advantageous over C3 pathway in plants as it

  • occurs in relatively low CO2 concentration

  • uses more amount of water

  • occurs in relatively low O2 concentration

  • is less efficient in energy utilisation


130.

Opening and closing of stomata is controlled by

  • abscisic acid

  • CO2 concentration

  • O2 concentration

  • light intensity
