Photorespiration causes a number of impacts on a plant. Which of these drives the ECOLOGICAL difference between C3 and C4 plants Question 4 options: Rubisco mistakes Oxygen for CO2 The plant uses energy to convert the toxic product of photorespiration back into something less harmful The plant needs a large number of enzymes to be able to regain the energy invested in the 2 carbon molecule produced by photorespiration None of these explain the difference The plant needs to do gas exchange to remove oxygen and add CO2 to the cell doing photosynthesis to avoid photorespiration.
Which of the following is TRUE about CAM photosynthetic pathway? Compared to the C3 and C4 pathways, CAM photosynthesis results in greater transpiration and water loss. O By separating where carbon is initially fixed inside the leaf tissue, CAM plants can better control the gradient of carbon dioxide between the air and their leaves. CAM photosynthesis is more energy efficient than C3 photosynthesis. Compared to C3 and C4 photosynthetic pathways, the rate of CAM photosynthesis is limited.

Why is it necessary to lyse the chloroplasts? 1.DCPIP passes easily across the intact chloroplast membrane and the thylakoid membrane, so electron transport could not be reliably measured 2.DCPIP passes easily across the intact chloroplast membrane, but can't get into the thylakoid, so electron transport could not be reliably measured 3.DCPIP cannot easily pass across the intact chloroplast membrane, so electron transport across the thylakoid membrane could not be reliably measured

11-13. Explain why we cannot make food for ourselves by photosynthesis like plants. Because our body cells lack cell organelle which is present in plants, that is, chloroplast. It contains a pigment called chlorophyll which is necessary for the photosynthetic reactions to take place. More over, we inspire O2 and expire CO2 which is just opposite to that of plants. 14-15. Farmers spread manure of fertilizers in the field or in gardens, etc. Why are these added to the soil?
Climate monitoring demonstrates a continued increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. Most scientists agree that this increased carbon dioxide will also lead to higher temperatures. a) How might future climate change affect metabolic pathways in plant populations? Explain. b) Biotechnologists are currently looking for ways to maintain food sources in climbing heat and carbon dioxide levels, particularly in developing countries. One such endeavor is to convert rice from a C3 to a C4 pathway to increase its photosynthetic efficiency. Will this actually increase its efficiency? Explain.
