Some statements regarding C2, C3, C4 and CAM plants

a.) For Sucrose synthesis after C2 C3 and C4 cycle having different procedure

b.) C4  cycle reduces occurrence of C2 which is thermodynamically very expensive and toxic by increasing the assimilation of CO2 at high temperature almost at 35⁰ C

c.) C4 plant is generally found in near to equator  and they are more abundant than C3 plant

d.) In Dark when stomata are closed and CO2 not assimilated in the CAM plants

plants such as maize whose vascular tissues are surrounded by two distinctive photosynthetic cell types In this anatomical context, the transport of CO2 from the external atmosphere to the bundle sheath cells proceeds through five successive stages such as;

a.) Fixation of the HCO3 − in phosphoenolpyruvate by PEP Case in the bundle sheath cells

b.) Transport of the four-carbon acids (malate or aspartate) to mesophyll cells that surround the vascular bundles

c.) Decarboxylation of the four-carbon acids and generation of CO2 which is then reduced to carbohydrate via the Calvin–Benson cycle

d.) Transport of the three-carbon backbone (pyruvate or alanine) formed by the decarboxylation step back to the mesophyll cells

e.) Regeneration of phosphoenolpyruvate, the HCO3 – acceptor

Which of the following stages are FALSE?

Mechanisms of C4 acid transported mesophyll → bundle sheath for decarboxylation, which of the following CORRECT combination of decarboxylation process?

a.) NADP–malic enzyme (NADP–ME)→ transport Malate from mesophyll to bundle sheath

b.) NAD–malic enzyme (NAD–ME)→ transport Aspartate from mesophyll to bundle sheath

c.) PEP carboxykinase (PEPCK)→ transport Aspartate from mesophyll to bundle sheath

d.) PEP carboxylase (PEPCase)→ transport Malate from mesophyll to bundle sheath

a.) import of cytosolic pyruvate through unknown transporter    

b.) import of cytosolic oxaloacetate through dicarboxylate transporter

c.) Import of stromal phosphoenolpyruvate through unknown transporter

d.) export of stromal malate through dicarboxylate transportere.) export of stromal phosphoenolpyruvate through phosphoenolpyruvate phosphate translocator

f.) export of cytosolic oxaloacetate through dicarboxylate transporter
