Question : Photosynthesis is a complex metabolic process.

Answer»

Solution :The process of photosynthesis takes place in chloroplast, light reaction takes place in GRANA in chloroplast. ATP and NADPH are formed during it. The USE of both these substance is done is FIXATION of `CO_(2)`. During that time glucose is formed after CALVIN cycle process. Thus metabollic process is a construction process.

Question : Photorespiration poses threat to plants yet it occurs in angiosperms. Why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Many angiospermic plants bear only one type of CHLOROPLASTS and `CO_2` ACCEPTOR is RuBP in these cases. Thus there is no other possibility except to undergo `C_2` pathway which may ULTIMATELY lead to PHOTORESPIRATION.

Question : Photorespiration does not take place in C_(4) plants.

Answer»

SOLUTION :The sugar formation process occurs in LEAVES of monocot plantas like sugarcane GROWING in tropicl zones in which first product is fused with 4C pathway.
The MECHANISM of these plants is as such that it increases the concentration of `CO_(2)` at the enzyme site. So its productivity is increased by RuBisCO, MOREOVER `O_(2)` is prevented to enter into the cells of bundle sheath so there is no possibility of photorespiration lying in it.
