Question #1
In the C4 photosynthetic pathway, the primary CO2 acceptor is:
A. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP)
B. Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)
C. Oxaloacetate (OAA)
D. Malate

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In C4 plants, the initial fixation of CO2 occurs in the mesophyll cells. The primary CO2 acceptor is a 3-carbon compound, phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). The enzyme PEP carboxylase catalyzes the reaction, forming a 4-carbon compound, oxaloacetate (OAA). In C3 plants, the primary acceptor is RuBP, a 5-carbon compound, and the enzyme is RuBisCO.

Question #3
The process of cell division that produces four haploid daughter cells is:
A. Mitosis
B. Binary fission
C. Amitosis
D. Meiosis

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Meiosis consists of two successive divisions resulting in four genetically diverse haploid cells (gametes). Mitosis produces two identical diploid cells, amitosis is direct nuclear division, binary fission is prokaryotic asexual reproduction.
