Photosynthesis in Higher Plants

The process which makes major difference between C3 and C4 plants is

1. glycolysis
2. Calvin cycle
3. photorespiration
4. respiration.

In photosynthesis, the light-independent reactions take place at

1. photosystem II
2. stromal matrix
3. thylakoid lumen
4. photosystem I.

Bundle sheath cells :

1. lack both RuBisCo and PEP carboxylase
2. are rich in PEP carboxylase
3. are rich in RuBisCo
4. lack RuBisCo

2. Three
3. Four
4. One

A process that makes important difference between C3 and C4 plants is
