Yes, it is present in C3 plants but is not involved in carbon fixation. In plants and certain bacteria, it produces OAA to replenish citric cycle... View Article
PEP carboxylase is the enzyme that catalyses carbon fixation in C4 plants in the mesophyll cell. It has a higher affinity for CO2 compared to... View Article
RuBisCO has an affinity for both CO2 and O2. During photorespiration, RuBisCO adds O2 to RuBP instead of CO2 as in the Calvin cycle. At normal... View Article
CAM plants open their stomata at night. They show crassulacean acid metabolism for carbon fixation. It is adapted to reduce water loss. E.g.... View Article

The main purpose of oxidative phosphorylation is the synthesis of ATP, which are utilised for cellular activities. Also Check: Where Does... View Article
The rate of oxidative phosphorylation is regulated by ADP level. When ATP is utilised it is hydrolysed to ADP. So oxidative phosphorylation... View Article
No, ATP is synthesised in oxidative phosphorylation and O2 is reduced to H2O as electrons get transferred from various electron carriers to... View Article
Yes, maximum ATP produced during aerobic respiration is by the electron transport chain. The process is called oxidative phosphorylation. Also... View Article
In prokaryotes, oxidative phosphorylation takes place in the inner cytoplasmic membrane. In prokaryotes, the enzyme complexes involved in the ETC... View Article
The electron transport chain stops without oxygen as it acts as the terminal electron acceptor in the ETC. It accepts protons to produce water.... View Article
