  • Q1 · Photosynthesis (Class 11 — ~20% weight) · EASY

    During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, photolysis of water occurs in photosystem II. Which of the following is NOT a product of this photolysis?

  • Q2 · Photosynthesis (Class 11 — ~20% weight) · MEDIUM

    In C4 plants, the first stable product of CO2 fixation is a 4-carbon compound. This initial fixation occurs in mesophyll cells. Which enzyme catalyzes this initial CO2 fixation in C4 plants?

  • Q3 · Photosynthesis (Class 11 — ~20% weight) · HARD

    Photorespiration is considered a wasteful process in C3 plants because it reduces photosynthetic efficiency. Under which environmental condition does photorespiration increase significantly, and what is the primary reason?
