Test: Photosynthesis in Higher Plants - 2 - Question 10

How many ATPs are required by C4 plants in synthesis of one molecule of glucose

Detailed Solution for Test: Photosynthesis in Higher Plants - 2 - Question 10

Most of the plants that are adapted to dry tropical regions have the Cpathway. e.g. Sugarcane, Maize, Sorghum,etc. These plants are known as Cplants. For the formation of sugars, Cplants undergo C4 cycle as well as C3 cycle or Calvin cycle. In these plants double fixation of carbon dioxide occurs.

ATP consumed in C4 plants:

C4 cycle - 2 ATP per COfixed

C3 cycle - 3 ATP per CO2 fixed 

Total - 5 ATP per CO2 fixed

Thus, to form one molecule of glucose or to fix 6 CO2, 6 X 5 = 30 ATP are consumed.

Test: Photosynthesis in Higher Plants - 2 - Question 11

The site in chloroplast which is responsible for trapping for light energy is:

Detailed Solution for Test: Photosynthesis in Higher Plants - 2 - Question 11

In chloroplast there is the membranous system consisting of grana, the stroma lamellae, and the fluid stroma. There is a clear division of labour within the chloroplast. The granum is responsible for trapping the light energy.

  • In pure state, chlorophyll b is olive-green. In pure state, chlorophyll a is blue-green.
  • Chlorophyll b is an accessory photosynthetic pigment.
  • Chlorophyll a is a primary photosynthetic pigment.
  • Chlorophyll b absorbs more violet-blue wavelength than red wavelength of light.
  • Chlorophyll a absorbs more red wavelength than violet-blue wavelength of light.
  • Chlorophyll b is soluble in 92% methyl alcohol.
Test: Photosynthesis in Higher Plants - 2 - Question 13
