  • a. Dark reaction
  • b. Chemical decomposition
  • c. Displacement reaction

  • a. Membrane system
  • b. Stroma Lamella
  • c. Stroma matrix
  • d. Both b and c
Answer
d. Both b and c.

Dark reaction is also called

  • c. CAM cycle
  • d. Both a and b
Answer
d. Both a and b.

Melvin Calvin used radioactive C14 to assese the dark reaction. Which plant did he use to study dark reaction?

The primary acceptor of carbon dioxide is RuBisCO. How many carbon atoms does it have?

  • a. 2C
  • b. 3C
  • c.  4C
  • d. 5C
Answer
d. 5C.

How many ATP’s and NADPH are required to form one glucose molecule in dark reaction?

  • a. 6ATP, 6NADPH
  • b. 12ATP, 12 NADPH
  • c. 18ATP, 18NADPH
  • d. None
Answer
c. 18ATP, 18NADPH.

In which plants c4 pathway occur?

  • a. Mangrove
  • b. Hydrophytes
  • c. Succulents
  • d. None
Answer
c. Succulents.

What is Kranz anatomy?

  • a. Leaves with the bundle sheath
  • b. Insect capturing leaves
  • c. Leaf modified into a tendril
  • d. None
Answer
a. Leaves with the bundle sheath.
Explanation
In succulent plants larg cells stick around vascular bundle called bundle sheath. These plants respire less. Kranz anatomy prevents stoppage of dark reaction due to high carbon dioxide concentration.

Photorespiration is:

  • a. RuBisCO interacting with O2 to form CO2

  • c. Pepco interacting with O2 to form CO2
  • d. None
Answer
a. RuBisCO interacting with O2 to form CO2.
