AIIMS 2018 Botany Photosynthesis MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

The saturation point of CO2\text{CO}_2 in C4\text{C}_4 plants is

A

390 µl/L

B

450 µl/L

C

460 µl/L

D

360 µl/L

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The saturation point of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in C₄ plants is critical for photosynthesis, as it indicates the maximum concentration of CO₂ that can be utilized by the plant without causing inhibition. At 360 µL/L, this saturation level ensures optimal carbon fixation, allowing the plant to efficiently convert CO₂ into organic compounds. The other options are not relevant as they do not provide any alternative saturation values or conditions for CO₂ in C₄ plants, thus failing to contribute to the understanding of this physiological concept.
