Question

Consider the following statements and choose the correct statements:

(A). Sugarcane has kranz anatomy in their leaves

(B). Maize is a C₄ plant

(C). Photolysis of water in photosynthesis require Mg ++ ions.

(D). C₄ path way of photosynthetic CO₂ fixation was discovered by Hatch and Slack.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below

A (A), (B) and (D) only. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B (A), (B) and (C) only. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C (A), (B), (C) and (D). Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D (B), (C) and (D) only. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

(A) Sugarcane has kranz anatomy in their leaves: True, sugarcane, a C₄ plant, has kranz anatomy specialized for efficient photosynthesis under high light and temperature. (B) Maize is a C₄ plant: True, maize utilizes the C₄ photosynthetic pathway which is more efficient under high light intensity and temperatures. (C) Photolysis of water requires Mg++ ions: False, photolysis of water requires light and involves enzymes associated with manganese, not magnesium. (D) C₄ pathway of photosynthetic CO₂ fixation was discovered by Hatch and Slack: True, this pathway was identified by Hatch and Slack, explaining a more efficient photosynthesis mechanism.
