MCQ
Which statement about photosynthesis is false?
  • A
    The electron carriers involved in photophosphorylation are located on the thylakoid membranes
  • B
    Photosynthesis is a redox process, in which water is oxidized and carbon dioxide is reduced
  • The enzymes required for carbon fixation are located only in the grana of chloroplasts
  • D
    In green plants, both $PS-I$ and $PS-II$ are required for the formation of $NADPH$ $+H^{+i i}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
The enzymes required for carbon fixation are located only in the grana of chloroplasts
c
The carbon dioxide fixation takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts because it has enzymes essential for fixation of carbon dioxide and synthesis of sugar.

Assertion: Growth in plants is largely restricted to specialised regions of active cell division called meristems.
Reason: The meristems which occur at the tips of roots and shoots and produce primary tissues are called apical meristems.
