In early research on phloem translocation, both active and passive mechanisms were considered. All theories, both active and passive, assume an energy requirement in both sources and sinks. What will be the INCORRECT explanation of active and passive mechanism?

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. The passive mechanisms of phloem transport further assume that energy is required in the sieve elements of the path between sources and sinks
  2. In active mechanism required energy is simply to maintain structures such as the cell plasma membrane and to recover sugars lost from the phloem by leakage

  3. The active theories, postulate an additional expenditure of energy by path sieve elements in order to drive translocation itself
  4. The pressure-flow model is an example of a passive mechanism

Which of the following statements about the C4 cycle is true ?

a.) C4 plants uses the enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase), rather than rubisco

b.) Unlike rubisco, O2 does not compete with HCO3 − in the carboxylation catalyzed by PEPCase

c.)  initial carboxylation catalyzes in bundle sheath cells, four-carbon acids formed and flow across the diffusion barrier to the mesophyll cells

d.) during decarboxylation, releasing CO2 that is refixed by rubisco via the Calvin–Benson cycle
