Revision Worksheet Photosynthesis in Higher Plants: Statements
2. A plant in your garden avoids photorespiratory losses, has improved water use efficiency, shows high rates of
photosynthesis at high temperatures and has improved efficiency of nitrogen utilisation. In which of the following
physiological groups would you assign this plant?
(a) CAM (b) Nitrogen fixer (c) C 3 (d) C 4
5. Read the following four statements, (i), (ii),(iii) and (iv) and select the right option having both correct statements.
Statements :
(i) Z scheme of light reaction takes place in presence of PSI only.
(ii) Only PSI is functional in cyclic photophosphorylation.
(iii) Cyclic photophosphorylation results into synthesis of ATP and NADPH 2 .
(iv) Stroma lamellae lack PSII as well as NADP.
(a) (ii) and (iv) (b) (i) and (ii) (c) (ii) and (iii) (d) (iii) and (iv).
9. For assimilation of one CO 2 molecule, the energy required in form of ATP and NADPH 2 are
(a) 2 ATP and 2 NADPH 2
(b) 5 ATP and 3 NADPH 2
(c) 3 ATP and 2NADPH 2
(d) 18 ATP and 12 NADPH 2 .
11. During light reaction of photosynthesis, which of the following phenomenon is observed during cyclic phosphorylation
as well as noncyclic phosphorylation?
(a) Release of O 2
(b) Formation of ATP
(c) Formation of NADPH
(d) Involvement of PS I and PS II pigment systems.
12. _________ in 1770 performed a series of experiments that revealed the essential role of air in growth of green plants.
(a) Jan Ingenhousz (b) Joseph Priestley (c) Von Sachs (d) Cornelius Van Niel

22.
24. Assertion: The proton gradient is broken down due to the movement of protons across the membrane to
stroma through the transmembrane channel of the F 0 of the ATPase.
Reason: It is the breakdown of proton gradient that leads to release of energy.
25.
Assertion: Photorespiration does not occur in C4 plants.
Reason : C4 plants have a mechanism that increases the concentration of CO2 at the enzyme site.
