KCET · BIOLOGY · STD 11 - 11. Photosynthesis in Higher Plants

Read the given statements and choose the correct option:
Statement-I: In Calvin cycle, Carboxylation is catalysed by PEP Carboxylase
Statement-II: In Hatch-Slack pathway, Carboxylation is catalysed by RuBP Carboxylase.

  1. A Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  2. B Both Statemen I and Statement II are false
  3. C Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  4. D Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Both Statemen I and Statement II are false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B) Both Statemen I and Statement II are false,
Both Statement I and Statement I are false. The Calvin cycle uses RuBisCO (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) to catalyze the carboxylation reaction.
