Is RuBisCO present in C4 plants?
Assertion: The leaves of a plant are food factories.
Reason: In photosynthesis, the green leaves of plants combine carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight to make food and oxygen gas.

Which of the following statements accurately describes the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
photosynthesis uses solar energy to convert inorganics to energy-rich organics; respiration breaks down energy-rich organics to synthesize ATP
photosynthesis involves the oxidation of glucose; respiration involves the reduction of CO2
photosynthesis occurs only in autotrophs; cellular respiration occurs only in heterotrophs
the primary function of photosynthesis is to use solar energy to synthesize ATP; the primary function of cellular respiration is to break down ATP and release energy
- Endergonic reaction
- Catabolic reaction
- None of the above
- Exergonic reaction

Glucose is labelled, but oxygen is normal
- Chlorobium
- Chromatium
