Photosynthetic bacteria have :
pigment system I (only one pigment system)
pigment system II
both (a) and (b)
some other type
C4 plants, synthesis of sugars/final CO2 fixation occurs in:
palisade cells
spongy cells
undifferentiated mesophyll cells
bundle sheath cells
CO2 acceptor in CAM plants is in :
mesophyll cells
bundle sheath
both
none of the above
A.
mesophyll cells
CAM or Crassulacean Acid Metabolism is found in succulent plants. In these plants CO2 is accepted in night via Phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase enzyme in mesophyll cells.
During night, stomata open and CO2 is stored in vacuole in the form of malic acid. During day, it is decarboxylated and CO2 is transfered to ribulose 1,5 biphosphate (RuBP) of the calvin cycle within the same cell.
The organelles, those take part in photorespiration are :
chloroplast and mitochondria
chloroplast, mitochondria and peroxisome
mitochondria and peroxisome
mitochondria only
In case of C4 plants the acceptor of CO2 is-
Phosphoglyceraldehyde
Ribulose monophosphate
Phosphoenol pyruvate
Ribulose diphosphate
The first step in dark reaction of photosynthesis is :
formation of ATP
ionization of water
attachment of CO2 to a pentose sugar
excitement of electron of chlorophyll by a photon of light
