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
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
Opening and closing of stomata is controlled by
abscisic acid
CO2 concentration
O2 concentration
light intensity
As compared to sun plants, the plants, which are adopted to low light intensity possess
more extended root system
very high rate of CO2 fixation
larger photosynthetic units
more extended shoot system
Oxygen released in photosynthesis comes outby
photophosphorylation
photolysis of water
photorespiration
Kelvin cycle
Glycolate accumulates in chloroplast there is

Glycolate is a respiratory substrate in photo respiration, which is formed in high concent ration of O2 but low concentration of CO2 under the influence of RuBP oxygenase in chloroplast. When temperature and CO2 content are high the affinity of RuBP carboxylase increases for O2 but decreases for carbondioxids. Glycolate is produced as intermediate in C3 cycle.
