The first acceptor of electrons from an excited chlorophyll molecule of photosystem II is :
1. | cytochrome | 2. | iron-sulphur protein |
3. | ferredoxin | 4. | quinone |
In photosystem-I, the first electron acceptor is :
1. | ferredoxin | 2. | cytochrome |
3. | plastocyanin | 4. | an iron-sulphur protein |
During photorespiration, the oxygen consuming reaction(s) occur in :
1. stroma of chloroplasts and mitochondria
2. stroma of chloroplasts and peroxisomes
3. grana of chloroplasts and peroxisomes
4. stroma of chloroplasts
The first step for initiation of photosynthesis will be
1. Photolysis of water
2. Excitement of chlorophyll molecule due to absorption of light
3. ATP formation
4. Glucose formation

As compared to a plant, how many additional molecules of ATP are needed for net production of one molecule of hexose sugar by plants ?
1. | Zero | 2. | Six |
3. | Two | 4. | Twelve |
Photosynthesis in plants is relatively less limited by atmospheric levels because
1. The primary fixation of is mediated via PEP carboxylase.
2. Effective pumping of into bundle sheath cells.
3. Four carbon acids are the primary initial fixation products.
4. RuBisCO in plants has higher affinity for
During photorespiration, the oxygen consuming reaction (s) occur in
1. Stroma of chloroplasts and mitochondria
2. Stroma of chloroplasts and peroxisomes
3. Grana of chloroplasts and peroxisomes
4. Stroma of chloroplasts
The chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis of oxidative phosphorylation proposes that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed because
1. there is a change in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane toward adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
2. high energy bonds are formed in mitochondrial proteins
3. ADP is pumped out of the matrix into the intermembrane space
4. a proton gradient forms across the inner membrane
