NEET Biology Photosynthesis In Higher Plants Based Practice Questions & Answers with Viewers Discussion and Detailed Explanation

Photosynthesis In Higher Plants Topic Based

Question & Answer Discuss:

The $C_4$ plants are photosynthetically more efficient than $C_3$ plants because:

(a) the $CO_2$ compensation point is more

(b) the $CO_2$ efflux is not prevented

(c) $CO_2$ generated during photorespiration is trapped and recycled through PEP carboxylase

(d) they have more chloroplasts

Answer: (b)

The $C_4$ pathway allows photosynthesis to occur at very low concentrations of carbon dioxide as PEP carboxylase has an extremely high affinity for carbon dioxide. This pathway also works well at high temperatures and light intensity, enabling efficient photosynthesis in tropical plants.
