Question : RuBP carboxylase, PEPcase, pyruvate dehydrogenase, ATPase, cytochromeoxidase, hexokinase, lactate dehydrogenase. Select/choose enzymes fromthe list above whichare involved in (a) Photosynthesis (b) Respiration (c) Bothin photosynthesis and respiration

Answer»

Solution :RuBP Carboxylase : It is useful in dark reaction which does fixation of `CO_(2) i n C_(3)` pathway.
PEPcase : It is useful for fixation of `CO_(2)` in photosynthesis in `C_(4)`pathway. SO 4C oxalo acetateis formed.
Pyruvate : It is useful in aerobicrespiration, whichforms Acetyl. CO-A from pyruvic acid
Pyruvic acid + Co-A + NAD`+ UNDERSET("Pyruvate dehydrogenase ")overset(MG^(+2))to "Acetyl "Co-A + CO_(2) + NADH + H^(+)`
ATPase : It is useful in both respiration and photosynthesis. In both processes, it is associated with proton pump in electron transport system . ATP is formed by ATPaseby transportof proton.
Cytochrome oxidase : It is ALSO useful in respiration and photo synthesis. It is an `e^(-)` carriers substance.
Hexokinase : It is useful in glycolysisin respiration. By the glucose 6 phosphate is formed from glucose during that one ATP is used.

Lactate dehydrogenase : It is useful in anaerobic respiration . eg. Lactobacillus
Pyruvic acid + NADH ` underset("dehydrogenase ")overset("Lactate") to C_(3) H_(6) O_(3) + NDA`

12229.

Question : RUBISCO is most abundant / least enzyme in the world.

Answer»


ANSWER :ABUNDANT
12230.

Question : RUBISCO is an enzyme that acts both as a carboxylase and oxygenase. Why do you think RUBISCO carries out more carboxylation in C_(4) aplants?

Answer»

Solution :RUBISCO is the most abundant enzyme in the world and can bind to both `CO_(2) and O_(2)`on its active sites. RUBISCO has much GREATER affinity for `CO_(2)`than` O_(2),` This binding is competitive. It depends on the relative concentration of `O_(2) andCO_(2)`and that determines which of the TWO will bind the enzyme.
In `C_(4)`PLANTS the photorespiration does not take place. Also the plants have a mechanism due to which `CO_(2)`concentration at enzyme site increases. This is due to SPLITTING of `C_(4)`acid in mesophyll leading to RELEASE of `CO_(2),` thereby increasing the concentration of `CO_(2).` This increases the carboxylase activity of RUBISCO, and decreases the oxygenase activity.
