Question
Chapter 10.5, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To find: The effect of PS I in the O2 concentration present in the bundle-sheath cells of C4 plants.
Introduction: A photosystem is an integral part of a plant and plays a very important role in photosynthesis. These multi-protein complexes contain a pigment that helps in absorbing photons from sunlight and utilizes it to catalyze the primary endergonic photosynthetic reaction. There are two types of photosystems present in the plant, that is, PS I and PS II.

Four species in the Chenopodiaceae were found to have one cell C4 photosynthesis. Givee 3 biochemical properties that could establish that these are C4 plants rather than C3 plants. For each property, describe and explain the test result or data you would expect if the plant is C4 rather than C3.
C4 plants have higher photosynthetic rates than C3 plants
because they have an additional CO2-fixing enzyme located in the bundle sheath
cells.
What effect would there be on C3 and C4 plants for increased oxygen levels? Why? Explain its effect in the mechanism of the pathway.
