AIIMS 2018 Botany Photosynthesis MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
The saturation point of in 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.
