EASY
The process which makes a major difference between C3 and C4 plants is:
HARD
Choose the correct statements.
(A) Photorespiration is the synthesis of neither sugar nor ATP rather the release of O2.
(B) CAM metabolism is an alternative to C3 and C4 pathways of CO2 fixation in plants in dry and hot climates.
(C) Bundle sheath cells are having many chloroplasts, thick walls with no intercellular space.
(D) After World War II photosynthetic studies were exemplary.
MEDIUM

Which among the following statements are correct?
(i) The quantum yield of photosynthesis decreases with an increase in temperature in C3 plants, as compared to C4 plants.
(ii) The first stable product in C3 pathway is phosphoglycerate, whereas in the C4 pathway it is oxaloacetate.
(iii) C3 pathway is present only in C3 plants and C4 pathway is present in all plants.
