Question 23.
C4 plants show high rate of photosynthesis than C3 plants. Are you agree with the statement? Give reason?
Answer:
Yes. In C4 plants photorespiration does not occur. It is a wastage process that occur in C3 plants only, because RUBISCO present in C3 plants can act as carboxylase and oxygenase.

  2. C4 pathway

Answer:

  1. C3 pathway – 18 ATPs
  2. C4 pathway – 30 ATPs

Answer:
Cyanobacteria and other photosynthetic bacteria have thylakoids suspended freely in the cytoplasm (i.e., they are not enclosed in membrane), and they have bacteriochlorophyll.

What would happen to the rate of photosynthesis in C3 plants if CO2 concentration level almost doubles from the present level in the atmosphere?
Answer:
The rate of photosynthesis in C3 plants increases with increase in CO2 concentration

Question 27.
Does photorespiration pose threat to plants yet it occurs in angiosperms why?
Answer:
Any angiospermic plants bear only one type of chloroplast and CO2 acceptor is RUBP in these cases. Thus there is no other possibility except to undergo C3 pathway which may ultimately lead to photorespiration.

Question 28.

Answer:
Yes. This type of CO2 fixation takes place in bundle sheath chloroplast and carbohydrate is formed.

Question 29.
Carboxylation of C3 plants are interrupted in changed environmental conditions. Why?
Answer:
Normally carboxylation takes place in C3 plants but in high O2 and low CO2 concentration, the energy wasteful process (photorespiration ) occur.

Question 30.
RuBisco is an enzyme that acts both as a carboxylase and oxygenase. Why do you think RuBisco carries out more carboxylationin in C4 plants.
Answer:
1. The C4 plants have dimorophic chloroplasts. In mesophyll cells chloroplast are granal but in bundle sheath cells the chloroplasts are agranal.

2. So in the these plants when CO2 is fixed in bundle sheath cells, the intracellular CO2 concentration is increased that is why RuBisco enzyme carries out more carboxylation in C4 plants.

Question 2.
By looking at which internal structure of a plant can you tell whether a plant is C3 or C4? Explain.
Answer:
The particularly large cells around the vascular bundles of the C4 pathway plants are called bundle sheath cells, and the leaves which have such anatomy are said to have ‘Kranz’ anatomy. ‘Kranz’ means ‘wreath’ and is a reflection of the arrangement of cells.

The bundle sheath cells may form several layers around the vascular bundles; they are characterised by having a large number of chloroplasts, thick walls impervious to gaseous exchange and no intercellular spaces.
