NEET 2026 Botany C₃ and C₄ Pathways Multiple Correct Question
Find the incorrect statement(s) about photosynthesis from the following:
A. The water splitting complex is associated with PS I.
B. C₄ plants use the C₃ pathway of CO₂ fixation as the main biosynthetic pathway.
C. In C₄ plants, photorespiration does not occur.
D. C₃ plants exhibit ‘Kranz’ anatomy.
E. ATP synthesis in chloroplast occurs through chemiosmosis.
B and C only
B only
B and E only
A and D only
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The water splitting complex is associated with PS⁻II. C₃ pathway is the main biosynthetic pathway for CO₂ fixation in both C₃ and C₄ plants. C₃ plants do not exhibit ‘kranz’ anatomy. ATP synthesis in chloroplast (Photophosphorylation) occurs by chemiosmosis.
